Getting Started with AI in Gamma
To create beautiful cards using Gamma's AI, begin by clicking on the "Create New with AI" option. Gamma offers several methods to kickstart your content creation:
1. Paste and Text
This feature allows you to paste plain text directly into Gamma. The AI will then transform your text into visually appealing cards.
2. Generate with AI
If you do not have any content ready, you can allow AI to generate it for you. Start with a prompt describing your topic, and Gamma will outline your content and write it for you.
3. Import with AI
Do you have existing content like a Word document, PowerPoint, or a PDF? Gamma allows you to upload local files from your computer or import documents from Google Drive and websites. The AI will analyze your content and arrange it into cards for you.
Choose the Format
Once you choose how to start, select "Presentation" to create your cards. Gamma also allows you to create documents and websites. Click on "Generate Outline," and Gamma will automatically create an outline for your cards.
From here, you can switch to advanced mode to adjust your cards for a social media format. You can modify the content distribution on each slide, determine the amount of text per card, and specify the audience and tone for your content. Additionally, you can select the language for your content, making it easy to create materials for a global audience.
Before proceeding, ensure that you adjust the card height by selecting "Letter format" and choosing "Portrait mode." This guarantees that your cards are formatted in the common 4:5 ratio optimal for social media use.
Designing Your Content
Designing your cards in Gamma is simple and efficient. You can choose from a wide variety of pre-made themes that will make your content visually appealing in seconds. If you wish to maintain brand consistency, you can create a custom theme and apply it to any content made in Gamma.
After finalizing your design, click on “Generate” and watch as Gamma creates your cards instantly. The AI will add graphics, text, and even AI-generated images to bring your ideas to life. You can always customize your cards further by adding additional elements based on your needs.
If you want to make changes later, Gamma offers AI editing tools or you can chat with your assistant for specific changes.
Exporting Your Cards
Once you’re satisfied with your creations, it’s time to export your cards. Depending on the platform, there are different ways to export:
For LinkedIn: Export as a PDF. Click the three-dot menu at the top right corner, select "Export," and choose "Export to PDF."
For Instagram or Other Social Media Platforms: Export your cards as static images. Navigate to the top left menu of each card, select "Export Card," and download your cards as PNGs.
Uploading Your Cards to Social Media
Posting on LinkedIn
To post your cards on LinkedIn, initiate a new post, click the plus (+) button at the bottom to see other post types, and select "Add a Document." Upload the exported PDF from Gamma, give it a name, add your copy, and your post will be ready to go.
