Improve scale to fit behavior
J
Javier S
I’m a user of the Pro version and, after several attempts and trying all possible page setup configurations, I still can’t find a way to export—whether to PDF, PowerPoint, or Google Slides—with consistent alignment across slides. Object positioning (headings, subheadings, body text, etc.) and font sizes (for headings, subheadings, and main content) vary unexpectedly. Even the footers are randomly resized.
There should be away of saying eg scale content to fit BUT keep a consistent format across cards (meaning, scale body content, but keep headings and sub-headings with the same font size and, crucially: everything in the same position (horizontal and vertical alignment) within each card.. all headings at the same height, etc.
This is particularly frustrating when slides share exactly the same layout and differ only slightly in text content—yet heading and body alignment still appears misaligned. As a result, I’m spending a considerable amount of time reformatting everything in PowerPoint or Google Docs just to make a presentation look professional before sharing.
Even with ‘Scale content to fit’ disabled, there doesn’t seem to be a reliable way to avoid text or elements overflowing the page—unless I limit myself to small font sizes and very little content. This isn’t consistent with the flexibility available in other apps (e.g. PowerPoint) using the same page configuration.
Lastly, the instructions in this post are insufficient imo: https://help.gamma.app/en/articles/11029115-how-do-i-control-card-sizes-and-adjust-page-setups

Чому коли в налаштування сторінки ставлю середній чи великий шрифт, зміни відображаються на слайді. Але коли зберігаю файл презентації - там шрифт самий малий??? І треба по новому знову редагувати.

hi @Rob 1 do you also have scale to fit on? the font size is the starting size, but if text overflows the slide it will get scaled down, which is why you're only seeing small text

Font ratio improvisation
Gopinath K
The ratio of the fonts are not fixed or ai is not trained on that so please improvise on it.

Hi Gopinath K, you can turn off "Scale content to fit" in page setup

Font size change!
Shahab
When I open the Notes section, the font size of the slide contents change! Not always, but it happens!

Hey Shahab, this might happen if you have "Scale to fit" turned on in the page setup settings!

pequenos erros na hora de exportar documentos
Marcos Antonio
Boa tarde pessoal, passando para agradecer as melhorias. Sou assinante há um ano e realmente vi uma evolução na ferramenta. Notei um pequeno erro: ao exportar algumas apresentações notei que em alguns slides as caixas de texto ficam numa posição fora do slide e temos que reposicionar de forma manual. Além disso, alguns slides tem ficado com a fonte em tamanho menor que nos outros slides da mesma apresentação. Fiz muitas apresentações nos últimos dias e notei isso em algumas poucas apresentações. Obrigado,
Marcos

Thanks Marco. If you turn off 'scale to fit' in page setup font sizes will be consistent across slides, but you may have to spend some time editing the slides to make sure the content fits on each slide
