Target standard
Gamma strives to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA
Gamma is one of the most widely used visual communication platforms in the world, relied on by tens of millions of people. Our users range all the way from individual high school students to Fortune 500 teams, with a huge range of needs and lived experiences. We've heard from blind users who find creating presentations significantly less stressful with Gamma, and educators who use it to create more engaging content for students across the board, including those with autism. Our commitment is to build Gamma for everyone, and to build it together.
Where we are
The following features support accessibility in Gamma today. Many have been part of the platform since the early days, and reflect our commitment to making Gamma work well for everyone.
Built on Chakra UI
Gamma's interface is built on Chakra UI, a component library designed with accessibility in mind. It provides a strong foundation for keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader compatibility, helping ensure core interface patterns follow established accessibility practices.
Theme contrast adjustment
Every theme includes a contrast setting that's enabled by default. It automatically adjusts heading, body, and link colors to help meet WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast - Minimum), improving readability without requiring manual color tuning.
Zoom controls in present mode
Unlike many canvas-based presentation tools, Gamma lets you increase or decrease font size and zoom level while presenting standard Gamma cards (content reflows automatically), helping support WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.4 (Resize Text).
Smart color inversion
When you switch a card to a dark background, Gamma automatically adjusts text colors to maintain legibility. This contrast-aware behavior is built into many parts of the product, helping maintain readable text across different themes and layouts.
Mobile-responsive layouts
Standard Gamma cards automatically reflow on smaller screens, so content remains readable without horizontal scrolling or pinching. This responsive behavior helps support WCAG guidance around content reflow and improves readability across devices.
Spotlight mode
Spotlight mode reveals content one item at a time without requiring manually adding animations. Presenters can guide audiences through ideas step by step, which can make information easier to follow for many viewers.
Rich interactive content
People engage with information in different ways. Gamma makes it easy to combine text, images, video, and other media so content can be experienced through more than one channel. Nobody benefits from boring content.

Where we want to go
Gamma's community is growing, and we're increasingly talking with large organizations and people with diverse lived experiences. The initiatives below represent where we want to go next, and came directly from that feedback.
Alt text for images
User-editable alt text for images that carries through to sites and export is a priority for us. We'd also like to explore AI-suggested descriptions.
Accessible PPTX export
Improving heading structure on export so files work correctly with LMS accessibility checkers.
Tagged PDF export
Add structural tags to exported PDFs so assistive technologies can navigate them correctly.
