Host a presentation and share it as a link
Put a deck online at its own address so people can open the current version — instead of hunting for the right attachment in their inbox.

Why this is harder than it should be
Decks are large, revised constantly, and sent to people outside your organisation — three properties that make email the worst possible delivery method. A hosted deck is one address that always holds the current version, opens on a phone, and needs nothing from the recipient beyond a browser.
Attachments bounce and expire
A deck with images and video routinely exceeds mailbox limits, and the copy that does arrive is frozen at the moment you sent it.
Nobody knows which version is current
Three attachments in a thread, all called the same thing, none obviously newer than the others. Everyone opens a different one.
Shared drives ask too much of the recipient
Access requests, sign-ins and permission emails are a lot to put between a prospect and your pitch.
How it works
- 1
Decide what people need
If they need to read it, export to PDF — it opens in the browser instantly and can't be accidentally edited. If they need to edit or present it, upload the PowerPoint or Keynote file itself.
- 2
Give it a memorable address
acme-proposal or q3-review reads far better in an email than a filename with a version number in it.
- 3
Send the link, then keep it current
Publish a revised deck to the same address and everyone who has the link now sees the new version. Earlier versions are kept in case you need to go back.
Worth knowing
- A PDF export opens straight in the browser; a .pptx downloads and opens in PowerPoint. Host both if you're not sure what the recipient needs.
- Embedded video is what makes decks enormous — linking to a hosted MP4 instead keeps the file small.
- Speaker notes travel inside the file, so check them before sending a deck outside your team.
- Anyone with the link can open it, so a deck containing confidential figures needs somewhere with access control instead.
Questions
- Can people view the presentation in the browser?
- If you host a PDF export, yes — it opens immediately with nothing to install. A .pptx or .key file downloads and opens in presentation software, because no browser renders those formats.
- How do I send a large PowerPoint file?
- Upload it here and share the address. There's no attachment limit to work around and nothing for the recipient to sign into. Files up to 25 MB are supported.
- Can I update the deck after sending it?
- Publish the new version to the same address. The link is unchanged, so everyone gets the current deck without you re-sending anything.
- Can I stop people downloading it?
- No — anyone with the link can open and save it. Host material you're comfortable being public.
