Data Transfer Guide

Exporting from Gamma: Log into Gamma, select presentations, and use the export function to download as PowerPoint (.pptx) files. For documents and webpages, export as PDFs. Organize exports in a structured folder system. Importing to SlidesAI: Install the SlidesAI Google Workspace extension. Open Google Slides, import PowerPoint files via 'File > Import > Upload'. Alternatively, extract text from Gamma exports and use SlidesAI's 'Text to Slides' feature for optimal formatting. Note that complex layouts, interactive elements, and certain animations won't transfer automatically—these require manual recreation in Google Slides using SlidesAI's design tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Gamma to SlidesAI?+
Yes, but not automatically. Export Gamma presentations as PowerPoint files, then import to Google Slides. Text and images transfer well, but layouts and interactive elements may need manual adjustment in SlidesAI.
How long does migration take?+
For a solo user with 10-20 presentations: 3-6 hours. Small teams: 2-4 days including training. Enterprises: 2-3 weeks for full deployment, data transfer, and workflow adaptation across departments.
Will I lose any features switching to SlidesAI?+
You'll lose Gamma's webpage/document creation features, as SlidesAI focuses solely on presentations. Some interactive elements may need recreation. However, you gain deeper Google Slides integration and familiar Google collaboration tools.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, run both tools in parallel during transition. Use Gamma for existing projects while migrating completed work to SlidesAI. Phase out Gamma as teams become proficient with SlidesAI workflows and all critical content is transferred.
Is SlidesAI cheaper than Gamma?+
Pricing is comparable at freemium levels. SlidesAI's paid plans often cost less for Google Workspace users since it's an extension rather than standalone platform. Evaluate based on your specific feature needs and user count.
