3 tips that make a real difference
1. Edit individual slides by clicking them
Every element — headline, body copy, image — is editable. Click any text block to type your own copy. Click the image area to swap it out with a generated image or upload your own.
2. Use "Remix" to change the whole theme instantly
Found a layout you like but the colors are wrong? Click "Remix" at the top to switch the entire visual theme without touching the content. Gamma has dozens of themes and applies them in one click.
3. Export to PowerPoint or PDF for sharing
Click the "Export" button to download your deck as a .pptx file for PowerPoint or as a PDF. Great when you need to send slides to someone who doesn't use Gamma.
