Generate Client Pitch Decks Fast with Gamma

1. Go to gamma.app and click Sign up
2. Use your work email or sign in with Google
3. You'll land on a dashboard with a prompt to create your first project

What you should see: A "New" or "Create" button front and center, along with templates and past projects once you have any. Troubleshooting: If sign-up hangs, try a different browser; Gamma runs entirely in-browser and occasional extensions can interfere.

1. Click Create new or the equivalent button
2. Choose Generate, which builds from a prompt or pasted text, or Import, which builds from an existing file or outline
3. For a pitch deck, pasting your proposal text or a bullet outline into Generate usually gives the best starting point

What you should see: A text box where you paste or type your content, plus a card count or length setting for the deck. Troubleshooting: If you're not sure which mode to pick, Generate from pasted text is the most reliable starting point for a first attempt; Import works best once you already have a polished written document.

1. Paste your outline or proposal text into the input box
2. Set the number of slides if prompted, aiming for the length you'd actually present
3. Click Generate

What you should see: A full deck appear within a minute or two, with a theme, layout, and your content already distributed across slides. Troubleshooting: If the generated deck feels too generic, add more specific detail to your input text before regenerating. Bullet points with real numbers and client-specific language produce sharper output than a vague outline.

1. Look for Theme in the editing toolbar
2. Browse the available themes and pick one closest to your brand colors and font style
3. Apply it; Gamma restyles the whole deck at once

What you should see: Every slide update instantly to the new color palette and typography. Troubleshooting: If none of the built-in themes match your brand closely, check whether custom theme creation is available on your plan; otherwise, pick the closest neutral option and adjust colors slide by slide afterward.

1. Click into any slide to edit text, swap images, or rearrange cards
2. Review every slide for accuracy, since generated text can paraphrase your input in ways that shift a number or claim slightly
3. Use Export or Share to save as PDF, PowerPoint, or a shareable link

What you should see: An export menu with format options and, separately, a shareable link you can send directly to the prospect without exporting anything. Troubleshooting: If an exported PowerPoint file looks different from the browser version, check for a font substitution warning; unusual fonts sometimes don't carry over to PowerPoint exactly.
