Migrate from Gamma to Chronicle.
2 documentation-derived translation patterns — what carries over and what to watch for. Cited to the Feature Parity Map; the audit tells you whether the move is worth it.
Both tools turn raw input into a finished, designed deck, so a team can drop Chronicle and recreate the exact workflow in Gamma. Chronicle's three entry points map cleanly onto Gamma's three creation modes: a typed prompt/topic goes to Gamma's 'Generate' mode; pasted notes/outline/Markdown goes to 'Paste' mode (which reformats copied text from notes, ChatGPT, etc.); and an existing PowerPoint, Google Docs/Slides, Notion doc, PDF, or URL goes to 'Import' mode. After import, use Gamma's Advanced Mode to review and edit the AI outline before generation — this is the equivalent of fixing structure in Chronicle. Set a Gamma theme (brand colors/fonts) once so generated decks come out on-brand the way Chronicle applied your brand guidelines. Keep Gamma; cancel the Chronicle subscription.
- Warning: Billing model differs: Chronicle meters monthly 'tokens' (300 Free up to 5000 Max) while Gamma charges 40 credits per AI-generated gamma — re-estimate volume against Gamma's credit pack before assuming the same throughput.
- Warning: Chronicle gates URL/PDF/PPT import to paid tiers; Gamma's Generate and Paste modes work on the Free plan but heavy generation still consumes credits, so a high-volume team should price the Plus/Pro tier rather than rely on Free.
- Warning: Re-generation is not a 1:1 visual copy: importing a Chronicle-exported deck into Gamma restyles it into Gamma's card-based layout, so expect to re-check slide breaks, image placement, and any custom Chronicle layouts after import.
Before cancelling Chronicle, get your existing decks out and re-home them in Gamma. From Chronicle, export each deck you want to keep as PDF (available from the Free plan) or, where enabled, PowerPoint, or copy the shareable Chronicle web link for reference. In Gamma, recreate the deck by using Import mode on the exported PowerPoint (PDF re-import is lossy, so prefer PPTX when Chronicle offers it), then rely on Gamma's own export — Share > Export or the three-dot menu — which writes PDF, PNG, and PowerPoint (PPTX) on every plan. Going forward Gamma is the system of record and the export source; Chronicle can be dropped.
- Warning: Chronicle labels PowerPoint export as 'coming soon' on its AI presentation maker page and gates PPT export to Plus and above on pricing — if PPTX is unavailable on your Chronicle plan, your only clean export off Chronicle is PDF (or the share link), so migrate while your Chronicle subscription is still active.
- Warning: Gamma's Free plan stamps a 'Made with Gamma' watermark on exports; it is removed automatically on Plus and Pro, so upgrade Gamma before exporting client-facing decks.
- Warning: Gamma warns that extremely long or image-heavy decks can fail to export and that some gradient headings/fonts may not render exactly as in the editor — spot-check re-imported Chronicle decks before deleting the originals.
