Data Transfer Guide

Tome doesn't offer direct export to Gamma-compatible formats. Start by exporting each presentation as PDF from Tome's share menu for visual reference. For content extraction, copy text from each slide manually or use Tome's text export if available. In Gamma, create new presentations using the AI generator with your original prompts or copied content. For media assets, download images/videos from Tome and re-upload to Gamma. Interactive embeds must be recreated using Gamma's embed tools since direct transfer isn't supported. Maintain a spreadsheet tracking which presentations have been migrated and which require manual recreation of complex elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Tome to Gamma?+

Direct automated transfer isn't available. You'll export content from Tome as PDF/text and manually recreate presentations in Gamma using AI generation and content copying. Media files need re-uploading.

How long does migration take?+

For a typical 10-slide presentation, expect 30-60 minutes including recreation and testing. Complex presentations with many embeds may take 2+ hours each.

Will I lose any features switching to Gamma?+

Core presentation features transfer well, but specific Tome layouts or 3D model integrations may require adaptation. Gamma offers comparable or enhanced collaboration features.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Yes, maintain Tome access during migration for reference. Run parallel for 1-2 weeks while transitioning workflows, then sunset Tome once all critical presentations are migrated.

Is Gamma cheaper than Tome?+

Both have similar freemium models. Compare paid tiers based on your needs—Gamma may offer more value for teams needing advanced collaboration and template flexibility.
