Gamma launches Gamma 5 public beta with rebuilt AI editing and imports

Gamma has begun rolling out Gamma 5 to all users in public beta. The release pairs rebuilt AI editing with an import workflow that can preserve uploaded layouts while keeping their components editable. Gamma’s documentation confirms the rollout, but not when each account will receive access.

The editor keeps the user’s original goal in context, so users can change an entire presentation, multiple slides or a selected element without regenerating unaffected material. They can compare before-and-after versions, accept a set of changes or restore the previous version.

Gamma’s rebuilt import flow offers two options: retain a deck’s layout and structure, or restyle it with an AI request. The flow accepts PPTX and DOCX files up to 200 MB, PDFs up to 100 MB, webpages, Google Drive files and public Notion documents.

Gamma says PowerPoint and PDF imports retain their layout, design and structure while remaining editable. There is a documented limit: some charts arrive as static images, requiring users to recreate them with Gamma’s chart block before editing the underlying data. By comparison, the classic generator imports file text without preserving the original design or layouts.

Creating new material in Gamma 5 begins with a conversation. An AI agent asks questions, then builds a presentation, document or webpage end to end. Gamma also says Gamma 5 keeps text, layouts and images as separate editable components. The classic generator’s Studio mode, by contrast, creates each slide as a single image with more limited element-level editing.

The Gamma documentation cited here does not include a test, user study or comparison showing that Gamma 5 makes AI-generated presentations look more human. Nor does it provide a versioned release note, plan-by-plan access table or exact official launch time.
