Canva and Gamma are two tools for making designs and presentations with AI. Canva is a general design editor for posts, carousels, presentations and branding, with Free, Pro and Business plans. Gamma focuses on generating presentations, documents and websites from a prompt. Both suit small businesses, marketers and anyone building decks without a designer.

FAQ
Can I use Canva for free?

Can I move a presentation to PowerPoint?
Yes, both tools export PPTX files. Open the file in PowerPoint itself before presenting, because a good preview in the tool does not guarantee a clean file; we have a guide for each.
Should I pick Canva or Gamma?
Gamma fits when you want to turn an idea or text into a deck quickly. Canva fits when you need design control, many social formats and consistent branding. There is no single winner; it depends on the work.
