Data Transfer Guide
Decktopus doesn't offer direct export to Gamma-compatible formats. Export each presentation as PDF (for visual reference) and PPTX/PPT (for editable content). In Gamma, don't use file upload—instead, create new presentations using the 'Create with AI' feature. Use your exported files as reference: copy text manually into Gamma's AI prompt or directly into slides. For visual assets, download images from Decktopus and re-upload to Gamma. Interactive elements require manual recreation using Gamma's embed features. Organize all exported files in a cloud folder before starting the Gamma import process.
