Frequently Asked Questions

How does Gamma compare to Canva and Beautiful.ai for AI presentations?

Gamma prioritizes speed — generating a complete, styled deck from a single text prompt in under 60 seconds — while Canva offers broader design flexibility with a drag-and-drop canvas and a library of millions of stock assets. Beautiful.ai focuses on automated design consistency with stricter layout enforcement. Gamma's card-based scrollable format is web-native and supports embedded content (Figma, Miro, YouTube, Typeform), whereas Canva and Beautiful.ai produce more traditional slide formats. For PowerPoint export fidelity, Beautiful.ai and Canva tend to produce cleaner PPTX files; Gamma exports may require layout and font adjustments since its vertical card format does not always translate cleanly to fixed 16:9 slides.

Can Gamma export presentations to PowerPoint and Google Slides?

Gamma supports export to PowerPoint (PPTX), PDF, PNG, and Google Slides across all plans including Free. However, because Gamma uses a card-based scrollable format rather than traditional fixed-dimension slides, exported PPTX files may require adjustments — fonts can shift, layouts may not align perfectly with 16:9 dimensions, and interactive elements like embedded videos or expandable sections do not transfer. For cleaner exports, Gamma recommends switching to their traditional page style before exporting. Free plan exports include a 'Made with Gamma' watermark; the Plus plan ($8/month billed annually) and above remove it.

Does Gamma work offline or require an internet connection?

Gamma is entirely cloud-based and requires an internet connection for all functionality — creating, editing, presenting, and collaborating. There is no offline editing mode, even on paid plans. For situations where internet access is unreliable, Gamma recommends exporting presentations as PDF or PPTX files in advance for offline viewing and presenting. The cloud-only architecture enables real-time collaboration and access from any device, but users who frequently present in low-connectivity environments should plan accordingly.

Does Gamma use my content to train its AI models?

On individual plans (Free, Plus, Pro, Ultra), Gamma's default setting allows de-identified and anonymized data to be used for improving AI features — but users can opt out at any time in their account settings. On Team ($20/user/month) and Business ($40/user/month) workspaces, content is automatically excluded from AI training, and this setting is locked and cannot be changed. Gamma employees do not access user decks without explicit permission, and Gamma states it does not sell personal information to third parties. All communications are encrypted via HTTPS.

What is Gamma Agent and how does it work?

Gamma Agent, introduced with Gamma 3.0 in September 2025, is a conversational AI assistant that can research topics on the web, refine and rewrite content, restyle entire presentations, and provide feedback through natural language commands. Users can ask Agent to expand a section, add market data, change the tone, or restructure cards without manually editing each element. Agent is available on all plans including Free, though advanced AI actions consume credits. On paid plans, standard Agent usage does not require credits.

How do Gamma's AI credits work and do they expire?

Gamma's Free plan includes a one-time allotment of 400 AI credits (roughly 10 full presentations at 40 credits per deck plus 10 credits per AI edit). Free plan credits do not refresh, but users can earn 200 additional credits per referral. Paid plans provide monthly credits that refresh each billing cycle: Plus gets 1,000, Pro gets 4,000, and Ultra gets 20,000. Unused credits roll over up to double the plan size — for example, a Plus user can accumulate up to 2,000 credits. On paid plans, standard AI generation and images are included without consuming credits; credits are primarily consumed by advanced models, Agent actions, and API usage.

Does Gamma support SSO and enterprise security features?

SSO authentication is available exclusively on the Business plan ($40/user/month, billed annually, 10-seat minimum), supporting Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, and OneLogin as identity providers. SOC 2 Type II documentation is also available upon request on the Business plan. Gamma is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, encrypts all data in transit via HTTPS, and uses OAuth 2.0 for third-party account connections. The Business plan automatically excludes all workspace content from AI training. Gamma does not currently offer a dedicated enterprise plan, but teams over 100 seats can contact Gamma directly for custom arrangements.

Does Gamma have an API for programmatic presentation generation?

Yes, the Gamma Generate API has been generally available since January 2026 and is accessible on Pro ($15/month), Ultra ($100/month), and Business plans. The API enables programmatic content creation at scale and integrates with Zapier and Make, connecting Gamma to 8,000+ apps. Use cases include automated report generation, templated deck creation from CRM data, and batch content production. API usage consumes credits from the user's monthly allotment. The Free and Plus plans do not include API access.
