How Do You Make a Presentation with Gamma AI?
Write your content first, with clear headings and short points. In Gamma, choose Create from text and paste it in, then add one instruction line at the top that says how it should look and whether Gamma may change your wording. Pick a template or your own theme, check each slide, and export the result as a PDF to share.

Course Curriculum: 5 Lessons
- 01Introduction to GammaMeet Gamma, the AI tool that turns text into presentations and documents. Learn how to open it, start a new file, choose between a presentation and a document, and begin with Create from text.
- 02Creating Gamma-Ready ContentStructure your content before you open Gamma. A sample tutorial lesson shows how headings, short points, “best for” lists and a quick-reference table become clean slides.
- 03Creating a Presentation Using TemplatesStart from a ready-made template, add your own content and let Gamma lay it out, then adjust slides to fit your message.
- 04Creating a Theme in GammaTurn a brand guideline into a custom theme, with your colours, one heading font and one body font, so every deck you make looks like your brand.
- 05Creating a Presentation Using the Paste-in-Text MethodPaste a complete document, such as an investor pitch, and use an instruction line to build the deck without changing your words.
Practical Example: From Written Content to a Shareable PDF
The same steps work for a report, a brochure or a set of HR documents. Here is the flow for a business report.
- Start in Gamma. Choose Create new, pick Document for a report or Presentation for slides, then select Create from text and Paste text.
- Paste clean content and add one instruction line. For a report, the line is: “Create a clean business report with headings, bullet hierarchy, and one chart summary section.”
- Choose a minimal theme. Look for a clean background, strong headings and plenty of white space. Avoid themes with too many shapes or colours.
- Check before you export. Confirm the page count, short headings, bullets that aren’t crowded, a visible call to action and correct contact details.
- Export as PDF and name the file clearly. A PDF keeps the layout intact for WhatsApp, email and printing.
