Include space for image captions or photo credits
Timo Luege
There should be an option to include visible photo credits on images. What I have in mind is a small text block that is overlayed on the edge of an image (either horizontal or vertical) and where a photo credit such as "Photo by John Smith" can be added. It should be possible to edit the text colour depending on the photo but the default colour should be aligned to the theme.

Add captions and descriptions to image galleries
Hemali Tanna
Right now, when I insert a gallery in Gamma, the images play like a simple carousel—but there's no way to add a caption or short description for each image. This limits how useful galleries are when presenting UX issues, workflows, or design explorations.
Why it matters:
If I'm sharing a deck with someone asynchronously, they’ll only see images—no context. I’d love to have:
A title/caption per image (shown below the image)
A description field beside or below the image while it's in carousel mode
This would let me use galleries as structured walkthroughs.

Alt text for images

I noticed none of the images that are used have 'Alt Text' associated with them. All educational institutions must meet Title II Web Accessibility requirements by April 2026 and one of those is that all images used must have 'alt text'. Tables and graphs must have alt text as well.

Thanks for reporting! We've created a ticket to look into this (:
Out of curiosity, what are you creating in Gamma and how are you sharing it?

No simple way to do that right now.

Borders for Images and cite Image
Jacob
Hello,
I am a Student who just yesterday subscribed to your Service. I really love the features and styling of the Presentation and also how it saved me a lot of time creating it.
Unfortunately I miss the feature to add text to an Image so I can cite it later. Also there seems to be no option to add a border to an image. I guess these features would massively improve the product because now I have to first edit the Image for it to have a border and also I have to add text in the Image itself to be shown so I can cite it. I unfortunately have to export my Presentation to Powerpoint in order to edit the presentation the way I need it which is kind of sad regarding the fact I love the animations gamma automatically adds.
Thanks for this product!

Hi Jacob, when you say text next to images are you looking to add image captions?

Thanks Timo. This is a great idea!
