Introduction

Page Setup in Gamma allows you to customise the structure and appearance of your gamma. You can modify card sizes, adjust backgrounds, and update metadata to optimise how your gamma looks and functions.

What is Page Setup?

Page Setup is a configuration panel in Gamma that enables users to adjust various layout and formatting settings. With this feature, you can:

  • Modify card sizes and layouts.

  • Change backgrounds.

  • Optimise SEO metadata.

  • Configure export settings.

How to Control Card Sizes

Step 1: Access Page Setup

  1. Open your gamma.

  2. Click the three-dot menu (…) in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Page Setup.

Step 2: Adjust Card Size

  1. In the Page Setup menu, locate the Card Size dropdown.

  2. Select a fixed height option to maintain consistency.

  3. This setting ensures your content fits within specified dimensions, ideal for exports such as PowerPoint slides or social media posts.

How to Modify Backgrounds

Step 1: Enable Background Display in Present Mode & Exports

By default, Gamma blurs out the background in Present Mode and exports. To keep the background visible:

  1. Go to Page Setup.

  2. Toggle on Show Card Backdrops.

Step 2: Change the Background

To customise the background:

  1. Click the Background tab in Page Setup.

  2. Choose one of the following options:

    • Upload an image from your device.

    • Search for an image online.

    • Select an Unsplash image.

    • Use a GIF as a background.

    • Generate an AI image.

How to Update SEO Metadata

Gamma allows you to customise how your gamma appears when shared online.

Process: Edit SEO Metadata

  1. Open Page Setup.

  2. Navigate to the SEO & Preview section.

  3. Edit the Title and Description fields.

  4. These details determine how your gamma appears in search engine results and social media previews.

FAQs & Common Issues

Why isn’t my card height consistent?

  • Ensure you have selected a fixed height from the Card Size dropdown in Page Setup.

Why is my background blurred when presenting?

  • Toggle on Show Card Backdrops in Page Setup to keep the background visible.

Can I set a custom background for individual cards?

  • Backgrounds set in Page Setup apply to the entire gamma. To customize individual cards, use card styling options instead, where you can choose a specific ‘backdrop’ for that card.
