How to Turn Google Docs into Gamma Pitch Decks

We’ve all been there: you have a brilliant business idea, product strategy, or startup story written out in a Google Doc, but when it’s time to pitch, you’re staring at a blank presentation screen, stuck.

That’s where Gamma AI PPTcomes in. Gamma AI PPTis a smart, document-meets-slide tool that makes it incredibly easy to turn text-based content into a polished, visual presentation, no design degree required.

And here’s a bonus tip: if you want an AI-powered shortcut, tools like MagicSlides let you generate pitch-ready slides directly from your doc or even YouTube links. Combine that with Gamma’s layout engine, and you're unstoppable.

Let’s walk through the step-by-step process.

Step-by-Step: Convert Google Docs into Gamma AI PPTPitch Decks

Step 1: Prep Your Google Doc

Before importing, make sure your doc is structured clearly:

Use headings (H1, H2) for slide titles

Break paragraphs into short, digestible chunks

Use bullet points for lists or features

Highlight key data points or quotes

Pro tip: If you’re writing from scratch, consider drafting your pitch using MagicSlides' Docx to PPT feature. It helps you get the structure right before you even touch Gamma.

Step 2: Open Gamma AI PPTand Start a New Presentation

Click "New" and select "Import"

Choose the Google Docs option (you may need to connect your Google Drive)

Step 3: Import Your Google Doc

Once connected, browse and select the document you want to convert

Gamma AI PPTwill automatically parse your doc, identifying headings as slide titles and paragraphs as content

You'll see a preview broken into cards (Gamma’s version of slides)

This is where the transformation begins

Step 4: Clean Up and Customize

Now your doc is inside Gamma, and it’s already looking pitch-ready. Time to polish it:

Reorder cards by dragging and dropping

Choose a theme from Gamma’s built-in templates

Add visuals such as images, icons, or embedded media

Highlight key points using Gamma’s formatting tools or even its AI helper

💡

Design tip: If you need visual inspiration, run your doc through MagicSlides first. It generates ready-made decks with structure and style, which you can use directly or adapt in Gamma.
