Gamma AI vs. TextDeck: Understanding the Difference
Gamma AI creates beautiful web-native presentations that look great in a browser. If you share links and present from web apps, Gamma works well. But if you need PowerPoint files—for clients, investors, or enterprise workflows—Gamma's PPTX export is limited.
TextDeck is built differently. We assume you need PPTX because most professional workflows still require it. Every presentation exports as a native, fully-editable PowerPoint file with no compromises.
This isn't about which tool is 'better'—it's about which fits your workflow. If you present in browsers and share links, consider Gamma. If you present in PowerPoint and send files, TextDeck is designed for you.
Why PPTX Export Matters for Professional Work
Enterprise environments often require PPTX. IT policies may block web apps. Clients may not have Gamma accounts. Investors may want to review your deck offline. When you need 'just send me the PowerPoint,' web-only formats become friction.
Even when web presentation works, PPTX provides safety. You can always fall back to PowerPoint if the internet fails, if projectors don't support web apps, or if you need to present from someone else's computer.
TextDeck's exports are true PowerPoint files with editable text, native layouts, and full compatibility. Apply your company template, add animations, insert videos—everything PowerPoint supports, your TextDeck export supports.
Switching from Gamma to TextDeck
If you've been using Gamma but need better PPTX support, TextDeck's workflow will feel familiar. Write a prompt, get a presentation, edit as needed, export. The main difference is where your output goes: into PowerPoint, ready for traditional workflows.
You don't lose AI quality by switching. TextDeck uses advanced AI for structure, content, and design. The difference is in output format and export quality, not generation capability.
Many users use both tools for different purposes—Gamma for quick web sharing, TextDeck when they need 'real' PowerPoints. Choose based on the specific deliverable you need.
