Data Transfer Guide

Gamma doesn't offer direct export to editable formats, requiring a manual recreation approach. First, export each presentation as PDF from Gamma's Share menu for content preservation. For recreation in Tome, copy text manually from Gamma or use your original prompts in Tome's AI generator. Save all embedded media files separately before closing Gamma. In Tome, create new presentations using similar prompts, then paste your Gamma text into appropriate sections. Upload saved media files to Tome's embedding system. For large migrations, consider scripting text extraction from Gamma PDFs, though manual review will still be needed for accuracy.
