Introduction
Cards in Gamma are the fundamental building blocks of your presentations, documents, or webpages - each acting like a flexible slide, section, or canvas.
You can manually add new cards, generate them using AI, and customize their layout with text, images, media, and other elements.
🌀 Insight: Unlike static slides, Gamma’s cards dynamically adjust to fit your content while maintaining an organized layout.
Key Features of Cards
Cards can be manually added or generated using AI.
They automatically adjust in height to fit your content, but can be set to a fixed size.
Card sizes can be controlled under "Page Settings".
Users can apply templates for quick formatting.

Click the "sparkle icon" to open AI suggestions.

FAQs & Common Issues
Can I add multiple cards at once?
Not at the moment. Each card must be added individually, either manually or using AI.
Are there templates for cards?
Yes! Click the down arrow next to the sparkle icon to explore available card layouts, or drag and drop a fresh layout from the insert menu.
Is there a limit to how many cards I can add?
No, you can add unlimited cards. However, if you are using AI on the Free plan, your AI credits may limit how many AI-generated cards you can create. You can always add cards manually without any restrictions.
How do I control card sizes?
By default, card are fluid, meaning they automatically resize based on the content inside them.
You can adjust the minimum aspect ratio under the "three-dot menu (…)" in the top right corner, and then clicking"Page Setup".
If you select a fixed ratio (e.g., 16:9), dotted guidelines will appear to help you manage your content.
💎 Pro Tip: If a card grows too tall, consider moving some content to a new card for better readability.
