To get started with Gamma, you can pull in a document or presentation you've created in another tool. Right now we support importing from:
URL (images supported as well as text)
Webpage
Blog post or article
Public Notion doc
Drive (images supported as well as text)
Google Docs
Google Slides
File
Microsoft Word
Powerpoint
PDF (images supported as well as text)
Right now we only support importing the text, not the styling or layouts, but we plan to explore these in the future. When you import a presentation, each slide will become a card in Gamma. When you import a document, we'll create a card for each heading.
Direct Import
To import the text directly, without any modification, use the Import button on the home screen. This will pull in the text content, without modifying it. From here, you can add your own visuals and layouts manually, or use the AI chat feature to restyle individual cards.
Import with AI
Alternatively, you can use AI to transform the text into a new presentation with layouts. This will change the text and create new layouts. To use AI, click New with AI and choose Import.
Debugging Imports
If you have trouble importing from Google Drive, try exporting the file as .docx or .pptx, and then importing that Word Document or Powerpoint file directly.
If you'd like to split it up further, you can type "/split" in between sections.
If you're still having problems, you can copy paste directly from a document into the Gamma editor. This can also work for importing from other apps like Notion.
