Improve powerpoint export behavior
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

The clarity of the exported PPT images is very low

The images in the exported PPT are severely compressed, causing me to need to replace the high-definition images again even with the PPT, which is very laborious. Is there a way to set the image clarity?

Improve PowerPoint export so that Bullets are not exported individually

Hi Gamma Team,
I hope you’re doing well! First off, I want to say how much I appreciate Gamma and the effort your team has put into creating such an amazing tool. It’s been a key part of my workflow, and I love how intuitive and impactful it is.
I’d like to suggest a feature enhancement related to how presentations are exported to PowerPoint. Currently, when exporting, the title, content, and bullet points are treated as separate elements in the PowerPoint file. While this works in most cases, it becomes quite time-consuming when I need to make significant edits—especially for formatting, resizing, or adjustments that affect multiple slides.
Here’s the challenge: because the text and elements are broken into separate pieces, I can’t easily select and modify the content of a slide in one go. Instead, I have to edit each line or bullet point individually, which takes extra time.
Would it be possible to adjust the PowerPoint export structure so that the slide content is grouped into a single editable element? For example:
The slide title would remain a separate element, but
All the body text (bullet points, paragraphs, etc.) could be grouped together as one block.
This change would make it much easier to modify exported slides directly in PowerPoint without losing the flexibility Gamma already provides. While I know I can make edits within Gamma itself, there are times (due to time constraints, formatting needs, or presentation-specific tweaks) when working directly in PowerPoint is necessary.
Let me know if this is something your team might consider, or if there’s any additional information I can provide to help clarify the request. I think this adjustment would save users like me a lot of time and make Gamma even more indispensable!
Thanks again for all your hard work and for building such a fantastic tool—I’m excited to see where Gamma goes next!
Best,
Fred

Thanks for the feedback Fred Byron. This was really clear and specific (I wish all feedback was like this!).
I will pass this along to the team. I think it's definitely possible. I believe the reason it gets exported as separate locks has to do with the way that our editor treats content.
Best,
Nik

PowerPoint compatibility
danielle rudd
Please make AI design PowerPoint-compatible slides from the outset. It's almost useless if the cards are all fluid, despite asking it to stick to 16:9, meaning that every slide needs completely reformatting. I might as well stop paying for Gamma and head back to PowerPoint :(

So many of us work in organisations that require use of PowerPoint. There should just be a button at the beginning of the design where you can tick that you intend to export to PowerPoint, and the card sizes should adjust themselves.

What I find useful and efficient when using GAMMA to export to powerpoint is to:
1) Create a custom template.
2) Download and Import Calabri Font or other ppt compatible FONT.
3 ) When creating your presentation always select 16:9 Ratio in WIDE.
This helped with formatting issues when working further with powerpoint and then creating SCORM 1.2 files. Hope this helps.

I support that when saving to PPTX, I expected to see a proper presentation, not a cropped one, or moments where the font is too small, making it impossible to read it even from 5-8 meters away. Exporting to PPTX is so far one of the few disadvantages that discourages the use of GAMMA

The exporting to Powerpoint is very bad. Even if you set the height, it always comes out wrong and words, images go off the edges. It reduces my ability to use Gamma. Especially for client presentations where powerpoint is mandatory to be able to use.

Hi IRON DAN have you used the page setup feature? You can set a min height
Glen Young
Nik Payne (Gamma design)The issue is more that one cannot specify a fixed height. If I specify a minimum of 16:9 but some slides are taller than that, say 16:10, one inch will get cut off in presentation mode in PPT.

Nik Payne (Gamma design) We need maximum height, where then it will continue onto a separate card for printing purposes, not a minimum height
