Gamma is a web-based AI presentation tool that generates slides, documents, and websites from text prompts. It's a standalone platform—not a PowerPoint add-in—with its own editor and format.

How is Deckary different from Gamma?

Deckary works inside PowerPoint, while Gamma is a separate web app. With Deckary, your slides stay in native .pptx format—no exports, no broken formatting, no learning a new tool.

Can I export Gamma slides to PowerPoint?

Yes, but exports often have formatting issues—broken layouts, missing fonts, and slides that don't match standard 16:9 dimensions. Deckary creates slides directly in PowerPoint, so there's nothing to export.

Can I use my existing PowerPoint templates with Gamma?

No. Gamma uses its own format and templates. You'd need to recreate your brand assets in their platform. Deckary works with any existing PowerPoint template.

Does Gamma work offline?

No. Gamma requires an internet connection. Deckary works inside PowerPoint, which can function offline once installed.

Why PowerPoint users choose Deckary over Gamma

Professional slides need more than web-native designs

No platform lock-in

Gamma locks slides into their web platform. Deckary creates standard .pptx files that work everywhere PowerPoint runs.

Consulting-style structure

Our AI creates logically structured, consultant-grade slides—not generic web layouts.

Consulting charts included

Waterfall, Mekko, Gantt, and stacked bar charts with Excel linking. Gamma only has basic chart options.

Use your existing templates

Deckary works with any PowerPoint template. No need to recreate your brand assets in a new platform.

Keyboard shortcuts

Align, distribute, swap, and select similar—productivity shortcuts Gamma doesn't offer.

AI text polish

Rewrite text in consulting tone or make it more concise. Refine slides beyond just generation.

The honest comparison

Gamma is impressive for quickly generating modern, web-native presentations. It's great for internal updates, workshop outlines, and situations where you'll present directly from Gamma's platform.

Where Gamma works well: Fast idea-to-deck generation. Modern, responsive layouts. Good for web-first presentations. Generous free tier with 400 credits.

Where Deckary wins: Works inside PowerPoint—no broken exports or formatting issues. Consulting-style structure. Consulting charts (waterfall, Mekko, Gantt) with Excel linking. Uses your existing templates. Keyboard shortcuts. AI text polish.

The bottom line: If you present from web browsers and don't need PowerPoint, Gamma works well. But if you work in PowerPoint, need reliable exports, or require consultant-grade output, Deckary is built for that workflow.
