Hi I have been using the template API and its working well. The issue I face now is the PPT that comes back from the API is rendered differently than when you export to PPT from the web UI. The Web UI everything looks good, the PPT from the API everything comes back much smaller and the spacing is off. I attached 2 screenshots comparing the two. Any feedback is appreciated.
Hey Greg! 👋 Thanks for the detailed comparison screenshots. Those are really helpful. PowerPoint exports can sometimes have slightly different sizing and spacing depending on a few factors. The good news is there are some things you can try that tend to give more consistent results. First, make sure you're using the standard 16:9 widescreen format if you haven't already. This tends to export most reliably. If you're working with slides that have a lot of precisely positioned elements or complex layouts, those can sometimes be more sensitive to export variations. Sticking with Gamma's built-in layout options usually gives you cleaner results. Here's something else that might help: different content types (charts vs images vs text blocks) can behave a bit differently on export. If you test your specific templates, you might notice patterns in which elements need tweaking. That can save you time down the road. If exact positioning is critical for certain slides, one option is to do a quick check of the exported PPTX and make any final adjustments directly in PowerPoint. Not ideal, but sometimes faster than trying to get everything pixel-perfect in Gamma. Let me know if any of this helps or if you want to dig into it more!
Thanks the issue is that the export works correctly on web but not via API for the same presentation
The API export should be the same as the web
The web export is good enough but the API PPT is always funky looking
Hey Greg would you be comfortable with sharing the full request body so I can dig into testing this further?
The output is clearly different for me, its perfect on web export but API everything is really small
Hi Greg! Sorry for the delay I am going to look into this further and get back to you. If you are using Zapier can you show me your generate options or provide a video of your workflow?
yeah ill work on getting you something thank you
For sure! Thanks for taking the time I know it can be tedious but the more detail we have the better we can help.
