Improve powerpoint and google slides export quality

in progress

IRON DAN

When it comes to exporting to PowerPoint I suppose it has a predefined size for the slides, which means that if my presentation in gamma has a size, when I want to export it to pptx it is cropped and it looks weird or there are parts left out, my recommendation is that they add some type of preview with a frame the size of the pptx slide so that the user can make sure that everything will be in the margins and he will not have to be exporting again and again to see the changes he is making with the size of pptx

Enhancing MS PPT Export Fidelity and Enriching Infographic Styles

Mark Ryu

Upon any chances, kindly could you please improve the fidelity on export to MS PPT? Some settings/effects are completely lost after export and require cumbersome manual adjustments. Also, please do consider enriching visual effects on infographics, which apparently lacks diversity and turn out to be dreadfully alike. Thanks and no offense.

Horrible Export Experience.

Joey Lamb

Exporting graphs to PowerPoint looks horrible. I wasted time and money on this.

Joey Lamb sorry about this. Thanks for calling it out, but heads up this product board isn’t monitored by customer support. Our support team will be happy to assist you with this. You can reach out to them by going to https://gamma.app/ and clicking on the ? in the bottom right corner, then selecting 'Contact support'.

If you’re up for it, can you share 1) a screenshot of how the graphs look after export in PowerPoint and 2) what kind of graph it is (bar/line/pie) plus your OS + PowerPoint version? I’ll pass that along to the team.

When i export this into PowerPoint, the graphs look horrible. it is often missing the critical lines
The agent told me:
That's a known limitation — Gamma's line charts don't always export cleanly to PowerPoint, especially when there are multiple data series.

Thomas De Wolfhound

There is an option to select Page set up. Its on the same drop dfown menu with export

Hi Nik, thanks for prompt reply. Q1 - A table exported to MS PPT becomes a bunch of text boxes crudely fenced within a thin-line border nearly illegible and with row/column/header formatting discarded, whereas, they're all fine in Gamma as a real one. I can't even tell if it's a table in MS PPT. Q2 - Honestly, I'm not stating all of them appear the same, but a large portion does, though texts may change on a case basis. Attached are for your reference.

Mark Ryu: Helpful, thanks

Mark Ryu

Nik Payne (Gamma design)No worries. I can understand that product management is not something withstanding haphazard planning, but, please consider at your convenience and discretion what lying on my short wish list, especially for MS PPT export fidelity given its predominance among most corporate users. Thanks.

Hey Mark Ryu, thanks for the super clear feedback here. I’ll pass this along to the team.
Quick couple questions so we can pin it down:
1) On the PPT export fidelity side, what specific settings/effects are getting lost for you most often (fonts, spacing, shadows, gradients, animations, etc), and are you opening the export in desktop PowerPoint or something else?
2) For infographics, which types feel the most “all the same” to you, and do you have an example style (from another tool or a screenshot) of the kind of variety you’d love to see?

Export from Gamma to PPT completely distorts the presentation in PPT

parminder gujral

I am a Clinical Marketing Manager in Medical Devices . I have paid for the Gamma annual subscription to improve my efficiency, precision & speed I require professional ppts for sharing with Drs which means minimalist clutter with white background on my Company template. The issues that i am facing are 1) When making the gamma i would want calibri & or Aptos as my default fonts with header 40 & Body fonts 16 to 20 (on my template) depending on content 2)I require Office Theme as in Windows 11 MS office with header & body (One Box with bulleted points which can be edited with one selection of the box & not line by line) 3)This is mandated by the company. Now the issues i face in Gamma & the exporting to ppt 1) The prompts given to Gamma on ideation, creation, research & final presentation in Gamma are in-depth & precise when source documents are provided otherwise it churns out outdated information 2) Calibri & Aptos fonts are not available. Normally it uses Raleway i think which is not very friendly when converting3)The presentation when in Gamma form looks quite well spaced throughout the cards after adjusting the font sizes which you expect what your final exported ppt will look like 4)When you export the Gamma to ppt all hell breaks loose & what you get is nowhere near the presentation that you expected. The observations: 1) The ppt slides are not spaced evenly from left to right or top to bottom. they are either shrunk or overflowing. You can't recognize this was the presentation that Gamma made 2) The contents are in a line & if you have to edit anything you have to do the back breaking job of selecting each box & editing which virtually blinds you since it so strenuous 3)You have to edit each & every box manually & you wonder why i used Gamma in the first place. I could have used Claude or Co Pilot to get better presentations. Now since i have paid my annual subscription i am stuck with this. I seek your active intervention to rectify these issues. In your feedback section there are 307 people who have expressed dissatisfaction only in EXPORTING Gamma to PPT & there is no solution from your end so far. Hope that you address this problem on a war footing basis if you would not like to lose your customers. Looking forward to your response ASAP Regards Parminder

Hey parminder gujral, really appreciate you laying all this out. I’m sorry the PPT export is blowing up your spacing and turning edits into a box-by-box slog, especially when you’re on a strict company template for HCP-facing decks. I’m going to pass this to the team.
To help us pinpoint what’s breaking in the export, can you share:
1) A sample Gamma (or a couple screenshots of a “looks good in Gamma” card and the same slide “broken in PPT”), plus which PPT version you’re opening it in (Windows 11 desktop app, web, Mac, etc)?
2) Does the distortion happen on every deck or mainly when you apply your company template fonts/sizes (Calibri/Aptos, header 40, body 16-20), and are you exporting with the template applied or applying it after export?
If you can share even one representative example, that’ll make it way easier for us to reproduce and fix.

Nik Payne (Gamma design)Thanks for your revert. I am attaching a ppt presentation that i exported from Gamma. You will observe that it is totally cramped up & cluttered. If i try to edit the text spills over & gets cramped. I am unable to upload the Gamma presentation but i am attaching a screen shot of one of the cards to show how different the PPT looks from the Gamma.I have the windows 365 MS outlook version & directly open the exported presentation on the Desktop & not through any web version. I am unable to change the fonts to calibri which is my company mandated & also unable to adjust the font size. Please try & find a fix so i can use Gamma as a default. I have not been able to use this as more frequently than i thought i would use because of these issues.

Hey, parminder gujral – I'm a PM at Gamma and I'm taking a look at improving export. Thanks for sharing the PPT – do you mind sharing your Gamma with me as well? That would help a lot. You can post the shared link here or share with me at jasper@gamma.app – thanks!

parminder gujral

Hi Jasper I have copied the link to one of the Gamma presentations that i made in Gamma & i have already uploaded earlier its ppt version after exporting from Gamma to ppt. You can see the stark difference between the two. Gamma shows you an ideal presentation but when you export to PPT you can barely recognise it. You have to do so many editing's wasting time & effort but you still do not get what you had in Gamma. Please guide on how i can export the gamma to ppt & what are the steps i need to take to get a good quality ppt with Calibri or fonts that are available. Does Gamma have Calibri font typeface to make the Gamma itself in Calibri & export to ppt with Calibri itself rather than converting Raleway which is the default in Gamma then to Calibri. Please note i am not a technical person so would need your guidance in easy to follow steps. Thanks

parminder gujral

I was expecting a solution to my problem not just merging it along with so many issues. If you can address this issue on my mail id singhmmm1802@gmail.com would appreciate it. Presently I am not able use a Annual paid version because of these issues. A simple solution from you on how to export Gammas into ppt on a Windows 11 platform would be helpful. Thanks Parminder
