February 2023
We've supercharged all of our default themes to give you even more out of the box. Our one-click themes allow you to change the entire look and feel of your deck anytime without having to reformat everything.
Make your cards more visual by adding a Card Layout. You'll find this option located in the top left of every card - simply select from the dropdown. Bonus: try out our new accent images to complement your content or drag in your own. (These layouts are available on all new decks, and we'll be bringing them to existing ones over the next few weeks.)
From your Home screen, you'll find a new set of templates to help you get started even faster. You can also share our public gallery with friends that haven't had a chance to try Gamma yet. Still not seeing the template you want or need? Please drop us a note and let us know what you're looking for: [email protected]
Looking for a pre-designed Card? Now you can drag in Card Templates from the Insert Menu. Try out various layouts and start mapping out your content incredibly fast.
January 2023
Create stunning visuals incredibly fast. Type "/smart" or look for Smart Layouts under the Insert Menu and choose from options like Bullets or Timelines. Your content is automatically styled to match your theme and formatted to fit.
Now you can search for icons and combine them with Smart Layouts like "Images with text." Icons will automatically adjust to the theme you're using to ensure your content stays polished and consistent.
Need to stay on brand? Now you upload your own fonts to Gamma and create your own themes using them. Simply click on Custom Fonts from the Home Screen and choose your font files.
We also shipped one of our most requested features. Now you can create your own beautiful Gradient Headings. Simply create a new theme and design the perfect gradient for your content.
Discover powerful shortcuts by clicking on the question mark (?) icon located at the bottom right of your deck. One of our favorites: open and collapse all nested cards by using the shortcut typing CMD + Shift + O.
December 2022
We're introducing a new way to save you from clutter - think of it as a lightweight alternative to nested cards. Type "/toggle" to try it out, or simply convert any existing block into a toggle by first highlighting it.
Many of you asked for additional font sizes, so this month we've added two new ones: Small and Large.
Want to update your headshot or display name? Now you can - simply head to the Home screen and click on your account settings in the top left. Woo-Hoo!
If you'd like to embed your Gamma deck on your website, just head to the Share button located at the top of your screen and grab the Embed code.

We completely revamped how we handle PDF exports in Gamma. No more weird, unpredictable page cutoffs. Even better, all of your links and embeds are preserved. Give this a try by clicking on the ellipses in the top right of your screen.
You can now resize columns by simply choosing from one of our presets or dragging a column divider to a good spot. Your content will resize accordingly.
We added some new touches to Present Mode. You'll now find zoom controls at the top to give you more control over how big your content appears on your screen. You can also use your ⬆️ and ⬇️ arrow keys to navigate and select different blocks to interact with - give this a try with nested cards, images, and embeds!
Share your ideas with the world by making your deck public. Simply publish your deck to the web from the Share Panel.
You can now hide the preview text we automatically display for nested cards. Simply click on the ellipses in the top right of a nested card and toggle on/off the preview text. No more spoilers!

Gradients are a simple way to make your decks feel more visual and modern. Now you can create your own directly in Gamma. Simply edit your Card, Deck, or Theme background and create the vibe you're going for.
You can now use Callout Boxes to help draw attention to important information. These are great for warnings, notes, and well, callouts of any kind. You can drop these in from the Insert Menu or simply type the Callout Box you want, for example "/note" to create a Note.
If you need to attach a case study, white paper, or a PDF of any kind to your Gamma deck, now you can. Simply drop your PDF into any card or include it in a Gallery and your viewers will be able to access it directly in Gamma.
We now support inputting equations using Katex. Just enter equations between two dollar signs, like $$1+1=2$$ and they'll be automatically converted to math.

Many of you asked for the ability to change text colors - and now you can! Just select text and use the dropdown to pick a color.
You can also now change Heading and Body color combos for an entire deck using a custom theme.
They've read your deck, now what? Add a simple Call-to-Action by typing "/button" and tell them what they should do next.
Creating quick access links in Gamma is easy. Simply type "@" followed by the name of the Card or Deck you'd like to mention and you're done. A reader that clicks on any of these links will get brought to the right place. See our FAQ page for an example of how you might use this.
August/September 2022
Quickly combine images, screenshots, gifs, videos, and embeds, all in a zoomable carousel. Type "/gallery" or simply drag any image on to another image to automatically create a Gallery. Give it a try in Present mode as well by clicking on anything in your Gallery. You can even put videos and embeds in.
When you send out pre-reads or leave-behinds, it's impossible to know what's actually resonating with people. In Gamma, we provide Analytics so that you can understand where people are spending time and what content they're engaging with. Click on the ellipses located in the top right of any deck, and click on Analytics to check this out.
Slack introduced the world to emoji productivity, and we've brought this to Gamma. Instead of spending time commenting, others can simply give you a quick 👍 by dropping a reaction on any block.
Import any doc you have and we'll turn it into a presentation instantly.
July #2 2022
You can now drop in simple visuals and diagrams (timelines, 2×2s, pyramids). Choose from a few templates or create a new one from scratch. You can also paste in images and screenshots, or even shapes and diagrams from your existing Powerpoint, Google Slides, or Keynote files.
We spruced up the look and feel of nested cards in their collapsed state. They also provide a preview of what's inside now.
We just finished a series of enhancements to Present Mode. When you scroll from card to card (using your trackpad or mouse), you'll now get a "peek" at what's coming next. You can also open nested cards inline now, making it easier to navigate between nested cards.

We made several improvements to how Tables work in Gamma. Give them a try and let us know what else you'd like us to improve.
May 2022
Placing an image next to a block of text in slides can be so tedious: aligning, resizing, pixel pushing. In Gamma, we're trying to eliminate the need for formatting altogether. Try out our new drag & drop layout functionality.
Okay, we appreciate your patience on this one. Now you can quickly resize and crop any image to your heart's content.
Quickly update the name of your Gamma by simply clicking and editing the field next to the home button.

Need to present something you've already written in Notion or Google Docs? No sweat. Just copy and paste into Gamma, and spin up a presentation instantly. Tip: try using keyboard shortcuts like "---" to split your content into more digestible cards.
We're sharing some new templates you can try out with your team: 1:1, Team Meetings, New Hire Onboarding, and many more.
