File size limit for export\ Formatting fails during Export
REVERA marketing
Challenges:
File export limit (100 MB) - large presentations have to be split into parts, which is inconvenient; it takes time until you split the joints in another resource.
There is no preview of what the presentation will look like in PowerPoint after export — this complicates quality control and requires additional checks
Suggestions:
Increase the file upload limit or add alternative ways to download large files (e.g. via cloud links?).
Add a function to preview the presentation in a format as close as possible to PowerPoint (WYSIWYG?) to understand the final result before downloading?

Hey REVERA marketing, thanks for the super clear writeup. I’m going to pass this to the team, the 100 MB export cap and the “export then open in PowerPoint to QA” loop sounds like a real time sink.
Quick couple questions so we can scope it right:
1) What format are you exporting to when you hit the 100 MB limit (PPTX, PDF, something else), and about how many slides / heavy media (videos, lots of images) are in the deck?
2) When formatting “breaks” in PowerPoint, what are the most common offenders for you (fonts, spacing, tables, charts, animations), and if you have one example file or a screenshot of before/after that would help a ton.
On the preview idea, are you mainly looking for a “PowerPoint-like” preview inside Gamma before download, or would a post-export preview step (open a rendered PPTX preview in the browser) also solve it?
