Quick summary: Send PowerPoint presentations with WeTransfer by uploading your .pptx or .ppt file at wetransfer.com and sharing via email or transfer link. WeTransfer is perfect for sharing decks with embedded videos or high-resolution images.
Why Use WeTransfer for Presentation Files?
PowerPoint presentations with embedded media, high-resolution images, or complex animations can quickly exceed email attachment limits. WeTransfer makes it easy to send large presentations without compressing your content or losing formatting.
Whether you're sharing a pitch deck with investors, sending training materials to your team, or delivering client presentations, WeTransfer ensures your PowerPoint files arrive exactly as you saved them.
Step-by-Step: How to Send Your PowerPoint
Here's how to share PowerPoint presentations using WeTransfer:
1. Go to WeTransfer.com
Open your browser and visit wetransfer.com.
2. Select Your Sharing Method
Choose:
- Email: Send directly via email to your recipients
- Link: Create a shareable transfer link for broader distribution
3. Upload Your Presentation File
Click Add your files and select your PowerPoint file. WeTransfer supports both .pptx (modern PowerPoint) and .ppt (legacy) formats, as well as .pptm files with macros.
4. Include Supporting Files if Needed
If your presentation references external files (videos, fonts, or linked documents), add them to the same transfer so your recipient has everything they need.
5. Add a Message (Optional)
Include context like presentation topic, date, or viewing instructions. This helps recipients understand what they're downloading.
6. Send Your Transfer
Click Transfer to upload. Your presentation is sent immediately once the upload completes.
If your presentations have long embedded videos, extensive image galleries, or you plan to send multiple presentation files together, consider upgrading to WeTransfer Ultimate.
Tips for Sending PowerPoint Files
Embed fonts for consistency. Before sending, go to File > Options > Save and check "Embed fonts in the file." This ensures your presentation looks correct on any computer, even if the recipient doesn't have your custom fonts installed.
Include presentation notes. If your slides contain speaker notes, consider exporting a PDF version as well so recipients can reference your notes without opening PowerPoint.
Test your presentation before sending. Open your PowerPoint in Slide Show mode to verify animations, transitions, and embedded videos work correctly before sharing.
Use password protection for confidential decks. Critical for investor pitch decks, confidential business strategies, or unreleased product launches.
Name your file clearly. Use descriptive filenames like "CompanyName_Q4Presentation_2025.pptx" so recipients immediately understand the content.
PowerPoint presentations with embedded videos can become very large, still, WeTransfer handles these files without issues. Your embedded videos will play correctly when the recipient opens the PowerPoint file — WeTransfer doesn't compress or modify your presentation.
Security for Business Presentations
All presentations uploaded to WeTransfer are encrypted during transfer. Your content is stored securely and automatically deleted after its permanent deletion date.
Your content is always your content - we don’t use machine learning or any form of AI to process content shared via WeTransfer.
For sensitive presentations containing proprietary information, financial data, or confidential strategies, use password protection available with WeTransfer.
Troubleshooting Presentation Transfers
Recipient can't open the file? Make sure they have the software needed to open your presentation. Consider also sending a PDF version for guaranteed compatibility.
Formatting looks different? This usually happens when the recipient lacks embedded fonts. Always embed fonts before sending, or export to PDF for pixel-perfect formatting.
Now you're ready to share your presentations quickly and securely with WeTransfer.
