How to share presentations like a pro

You've created a great presentation. Now you need to share it. Here's how to do it without the usual headaches.

The attachment problem

Sharing presentations as email attachments has issues:

File size – Presentations with images are often too large
Compatibility – Will their software render it correctly?
Version control – "Is this the latest version?"
No insights – Did they view it? How far did they get?

Better alternatives

Option 1: Export to PDF and share a link

This is the most reliable approach:

Export your presentation to PDF
Upload to bopbee
Share the link

Recipients can view in any browser, no software required.

Option 2: Use web-based slides

Tools like Google Slides or Pitch let you share a view-only link directly. Good for collaboration, but requires their platform.

Option 3: Record a video walkthrough

For important presentations, record yourself going through the slides:

Adds context and personality
Viewer can watch at their pace
More engaging than static slides

Pro tips for sharing

Before the meeting

Send slides ahead of time:

"Here are the slides for tomorrow's meeting: slides.bopbee.com"

This lets attendees prepare questions and follow along.

After the meeting

Share immediately while context is fresh:

"Thanks for joining! Here are the slides we discussed: slides.bopbee.com"

For job applications

When asked for a "portfolio deck":

"My portfolio presentation: portfolio.yourname.bopbee.com"

Links are more professional than attachments.

Formatting tips

When sharing presentations online:

Increase font sizes – Legibility on different screens
One idea per slide – Easier to skim
Reduce animations – They often don't translate to PDF
Include a title slide – Context for what they're viewing
Add page numbers – Makes discussion easier

Tracking views

With bopbee, you can see when your presentation was viewed. This is useful for:

Sales decks – Did the prospect review your proposal?
Job applications – Did the recruiter look at your portfolio?
Client work – Has the client reviewed the designs?

Template workflow

Here's a repeatable process:

Create presentation in your tool of choice
Export to PDF
Upload to bopbee
Share the link
Update by re-uploading to the same project

Same link, always current content.

Automate with a simple script:

# Export and upload in one command
pdflatex presentation.tex
curl -X POST https://bopbee.com/api/upload \
  -F "file=@presentation.pdf"

Get started

Stop emailing heavy attachments. Share your next presentation with a simple link.
