What is Gamma?
Gamma is an AI presentation maker. You describe what you need, or paste notes or a document, and Gamma creates a complete presentation with layouts, text and images in about a minute.
Besides slides, Gamma can create documents and simple webpages from the same prompt. You can edit everything afterward, restyle it with themes and ask the AI to rewrite or expand any part.
It runs on AI credits: the free plan gives you a one-time batch to try it, and paid plans refill credits every month.
Key features
- AI generation: create a full presentation from a prompt, notes or an uploaded document.
- Slides, docs and webpages: use the same editor for presentations, documents and simple websites.
- AI editing: rewrite, shorten, expand or restyle any card with AI.
- AI images: generate images for your slides (premium models on Pro).
- Exports: download as PDF or PowerPoint, or export to Google Slides.
- Analytics and custom domains: see how people view your decks and publish on your own domain (Pro).
Pricing plans

Gamma free plan: what you get
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| AI credits | 400, one time (they don’t refill) |
| Slides per prompt | Up to 10 |
| Exports | PDF, PowerPoint, PNG and Google Slides |
| Branding | Gamma branding on exports |
The catch: The free credits don’t refill. Each slide uses 1 to 3 credits, but AI images use up to 125 each, so image-heavy users run out after a few decks.
Who is Gamma for?
- Founders and startups: build pitch decks quickly.
- Consultants and marketers: turn notes into client-ready slides.
- Educators and students: create lesson and class presentations.
- Anyone short on time: get a designed first draft in about a minute.
Consider something else if you need pixel-perfect control over every slide, or a free plan you can use indefinitely.
