What is Gamma? Free use, pricing, presentations in Turkish, PowerPoint export and the credit system

You tell Gamma what you want, and it builds the slides, headings and images as a ready presentation. If you don't want to start from scratch, you upload an existing PowerPoint or PDF file and make it editable. Besides presentations, it also prepares documents, e-books, simple websites and LinkedIn/Instagram carousels.

You can later have the AI edit a presentation by saying "simplify this slide", or change it by hand. You share your content by link, or turn it into a site at a gamma.site address.

Who it is for: teachers, consultants, sales and marketing staff and small business owners who want to quickly draft a presentation for a meeting, class, proposal or training. If you need a precise design, you will have to edit and check the output.

Gamma runs in the browser; there is no program to download to your computer. The "app" in the Microsoft Store is only a shortcut that makes Gamma easier to open on Windows; it adds no features to the web version.

1. 1In the prompt box on the dashboard, write the topic of the presentation, who you are presenting to and how many slides you want. Attach a file if you like. Choose a mode: Plan (default: the AI asks questions, shows a plan and waits for your approval), Express (generates a draft directly) or Research (checks web sources first).
2. 2In Plan mode, answer the questions or say "Decide for me", then review and approve the plan. The slides fill in on screen.
3. 3For changes, ask in the chat ("slide 4 is too dense, make it more visual") or select a single element in AI editing mode. Manual editing is always available.
4. 4If you don't like the design, don't regenerate from scratch; ask for "a new look" and the content is kept.
5. 5Download PDF, PPTX or PNG with Share › Export, or share by link. If you prefer the old generator, the dashboard has "Use classic generator".

!Gamma's terms say AI outputs are provided "as is" with no guarantee of accuracy. Check figures, dates and quotes yourself before presenting.

From the Share › Export menu you download PowerPoint (PPTX), PDF or PNG; to move to Google Slides, first download PPTX and upload it to Google Slides. Word (.docx) is not available on any plan. Importing your existing PPTX and PDF files into Gamma is available on the free plan too; Excel and Keynote files are not imported directly.

The exported file is not always identical to what is on screen. Gamma's own list of limitations: gradient headings may fall back to a single color, frosted backgrounds revert to a fallback style, the slide master doesn't carry over, and some charts come through as images. The export reflects how it looks in present mode.

!If fonts break when you open the PPTX in Google Slides, that is not Gamma; Google Slides ignores embedded fonts. Open it in PowerPoint or use PDF. Gammas longer than 150 slides may not export: split them into sections and download separately.

Gamma doesn't let you pick the text model by name. The pricing page says it uses providers such as Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Flux, Recraft, Ideogram, Luma and Leonardo behind the scenes. There are two things you choose: the effort level and the image model.

The model and level list changes often; this section was checked on October 14, 2026. Gamma's documentation doesn't show which provider the text model comes from for a given presentation.

On the Gamma side, connectors are available on the free plan too, but every generation uses credits. The conditions for adding custom connectors on Claude's and ChatGPT's own plans are separate and are not covered on this page. If you want to generate presentations in bulk with code or automation tools, you get an API key on Pro and above; the key is shown once, and you send it in the X-API-KEY header.

Setup steps are in the "Can you download Gamma" section, on the Claude and ChatGPT tab.

Yes, there is a free plan and it doesn't require a credit card. But its limit works on credits, not time: you get 400 credits once at sign-up and they don't renew. Every AI action (generating a presentation, editing with AI, generating images) uses credits.

Prices exclude tax and are in US dollars. Payment is by card through Stripe: if the bank that issued your card blocks international or online payments, the payment may be declined; ask your bank to allow it.

The official pricing and help pages offer no student or educator discount. Discount codes can only be used when moving from Free to your first paid subscription.

!If a presentation you wanted in Turkish comes out in English, choose Turkish as the output language on the generation screen. To translate a finished gamma, type "Translate all slides into Turkish" (slide by slide on Free).

!Before uploading text that contains client, student or patient information, turn off training permission under Data Controls on individual plans, or mask the names.

1. 1In Gamma, go to Settings› then Billing from the left menu.
2. 2At the bottom of the page click "Cancel subscription" (if it is gray, you are not the billing admin). For payment methods and invoices, use "Manage subscription in Stripe".
3. 3The subscription runs until the end of the period; then the account goes back to Free, your gammas are not deleted, and plan credits drop to 400.

Each feature is marked separately with whether it is on the free plan. Having a free plan doesn't mean every feature is free; AI actions always use credits.
