Migrate from gamma to presentations-ai.
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 products generate a full deck from a typed topic, pasted text, an uploaded document, or a URL, so a team standardizing on Gamma can drop Presentations.AI's generator. To move: re-create source decks in Gamma using 'Generate' mode (topic prompt) or 'Paste' mode (drop the same notes/source text), and use Advanced Mode to refine the outline before slides are produced. Rebuild your brand once in Gamma's Theme Editor (colors, fonts, logo) so generated decks come out on-brand the way Presentations.AI's Brand Sync produced them. For decks whose copy and numbers must be preserved verbatim, export the Presentations.AI deck to PPTX first and use Gamma's 'Import' mode to convert it, rather than regenerating, since regeneration will not reproduce the original text exactly.
- Warning: Gamma meters AI by credits (creating a gamma = 40 credits, AI image = 10 per prompt, AI edit/suggestion = 10) while Presentations.AI runs on its own credit pool (100 listed on the free Starter card, though its FAQ says 200 at signup; 5,000/year on Pro and 50,000/year on Gold), where its FAQ states 5 credits are spent per AI-generated slide (and another 5 per slide to export to PowerPoint); the units do not map 1:1, so size the Gamma plan against your real generation volume before switching.
- Warning: Presentations.AI's 'anti-fragile' templates auto-recalculate layout on a slide canvas; Gamma uses fluid auto-resizing 'cards' instead, so imported or regenerated decks may need re-layout rather than landing on identical fixed-size slides.
- Warning: Presentations.AI markets sub-60-second generation of a 10-15 slide deck; Gamma generation quality and length depend on the prompt and Advanced Mode outline, so expect to tune the outline rather than assume one-shot parity.
Both products export presentations to native PowerPoint (PPTX) and PDF, which is the portability bridge when consolidating off Presentations.AI onto Gamma. To migrate existing decks: export each Presentations.AI deck as editable PPTX, then use Gamma's Import mode to convert the PPTX into native Gamma cards (or keep the PPTX/PDF as an archived offline copy). Once content lives in Gamma, ongoing PPTX/PDF export is available on every Gamma plan, so downstream consumers who expect PowerPoint files are still served.
- Warning: Neither export is a guaranteed pixel-perfect transfer: Presentations.AI flattens its 'anti-fragile' layouts into PPTX, and Gamma warns that gradient headings, some fonts, and very long or image-heavy decks may not render exactly on export/import, so plan to fix formatting after the round-trip.
- Warning: Presentations.AI lists 'high-quality PowerPoint Export' as a Pro ($20/month) feature, so exports from its free Starter tier may be lower quality; Gamma instead stamps a 'Made with Gamma' watermark on Free-workspace exports (removed on Plus/Pro), so budget a paid Gamma plan for unbranded output.
- Warning: Gamma additionally exports PNG and can post to LinkedIn; do not assume Presentations.AI offers identical export targets beyond the confirmed native PPTX and PDF.
