Data Transfer Guide
Export from Beautiful.ai by opening each presentation and selecting 'Export' → 'PowerPoint (.pptx)'. This format preserves text, images, and basic layouts best. For presentations with custom fonts, also export as PDF to maintain visual reference. In Gamma, use the 'Import' button and select your PowerPoint files. Gamma will convert them to its native format. Note that complex animations, some Smart Templates, and certain interactive elements won't transfer directly—you'll need to recreate these using Gamma's tools. For large volumes, consider using Gamma's bulk import feature or API if available. Always maintain backup copies of original Beautiful.ai exports throughout the process.
