Improve powerpoint and google slides export quality

IRON DAN

When it comes to exporting to PowerPoint I suppose it has a predefined size for the slides, which means that if my presentation in gamma has a size, when I want to export it to pptx it is cropped and it looks weird or there are parts left out, my recommendation is that they add some type of preview with a frame the size of the pptx slide so that the user can make sure that everything will be in the margins and he will not have to be exporting again and again to see the changes he is making with the size of pptx

Problemas no texto de slides para power point

Raquel Bonelli

Ao exportar uma apresentação para power point muitos textos saíram desconfigurados, com palavras duplicadas que, se apago uma somem as duas. Um claro bug. O curioso é que às vezes estes erros aparecem e outras não.

Thanks for flagging this, Raquel Bonelli. That definitely sounds like a nasty export bug.
To help us narrow it down, could you share:
1) What PowerPoint version + OS you’re opening the exported file in (Windows/Mac, desktop/web)?
2) A quick screen recording or a couple screenshots showing the duplicated text behavior (before/after you delete one word), plus the .pptx if you’re comfortable?
Also, does it happen on a specific slide type or only with certain text (bold, links, special characters, copy/paste from somewhere)? I’ll pass this along to the team once we have those details.

Font style preservation on export to Powerpoint / Google Slides

Ryan Gross

When exporting to Google Slides or PowerPoint, the font for all items reverts to the default 'boldness'. This causes word wrapping across nearly all text when the font in Gamma was a "light" version of the font, making the exported version un-usable. Switching back to the proper font removes the word-wrapping.

Ryan Gross

I’m using Roboto. Definitely happens in Slides. PowerPoint says the right font but it isn’t rendering them appropriately. It’s possible I’m missing the font locally.

Ryan Gross: thank you!

Oof yeah, that would make an export basically unusable. Thanks for the super clear writeup, I’ll pass this to the team. Quick couple questions so we can pin it down: 1) which font family + weight were you using in Gamma (and does it happen with multiple fonts or just one)? 2) does it reproduce in both PowerPoint and Google Slides exports, and what app are you opening the file in (desktop PowerPoint, web PowerPoint, Google Slides in browser)? If you can share a tiny sample deck or a screenshot of before/after, that’d help a ton too.

Export was terrible

Mike Smith

The export of my slideshow into both .ppt and Google Slides was horrid, and it's more than the font (which I have downloaded). Spacing and presentation looked terrible, even though it looked accurate when exported into .pdf.

Thanks, Mike. We're doing some work to get export quality prioritized in the first half of the year. I forwarded your feedback to the team.

Import Markdown (.md) as slides with proper math rendering (LaTeX blocks)

Siyuan Wang

I regularly write slide drafts in a Markdown file (headings + bullet lists + LaTeX math like $$...$$ or \(...\) / \[...\]).
Problem:
When I paste or import Markdown content into Gamma, math is not rendered automatically. I have to manually recreate each equation using /math block or /inline math, which is time-consuming and error-prone for math-heavy slides.
Request:
Please support importing a .md file (or pasted Markdown) and automatically converting it into Gamma cards/slides with math rendered correctly, including:
•	Detect block math ($$...$$ / \[...\]) and convert to Math Block
•	Detect inline math ($...$ / \(...\)) and convert to Inline Math
•	Preserve headings and bullet structure
•	Optionally support slide splitting by --- (common in Markdown slide decks)
Why this helps:
This would enable a smooth workflow for technical users who draft slides in Markdown (often generated by tools or LLMs) and want a one-step import into Gamma without manual equation re-entry.

Improve formatting and previewing for better exporting results

Jenny O'Malley

When exporting to powerpoint portrait, the layout always gets messed up - meaning I have to spend extra time reformatting. Takes a lot of guesswork.

PDF-Export enthält Randlinien

Dietmar Winkler

Beim Export werden oben, rechts und unten schwarze Randlinien angezeigt. Das ist optisch nicht schön (auch beim Druck der Datei) und sieht wie ein Software-Feher aus.
