How to Share a PowerPoint Presentation Using SendSites
By Declan · Updated May 2026
Turn your property's pitch deck into a web-friendly experience inside a SendSites proposal. Learn four ways to display PowerPoint slides without forcing buyers to download a .pptx file.
Sending your pitch deck to buyers ahead of a tradeshow appointment — IMEX, ALHI, or any property showcase — lets you skip the basics in the room and spend face-to-face time on the parts of the deal that actually move it forward. This article walks through how to prep a PowerPoint file and four different ways to display those slides inside a SendSites proposal.
Export your PowerPoint into a web-friendly format
Before opening the proposal builder, save your deck in a format SendSites can display natively.
For a single-document approach, open PowerPoint and go to File → Export and save the deck as a PDF.
For a slide-by-slide approach, use the same Export menu to save the presentation as individual images. Each slide will save to your computer as a JPEG.
Export both formats while you’re in PowerPoint. That way you can decide which display style works best once you’re inside the proposal.
Open your proposal in edit mode
Navigate to the proposal you want to add the deck to and open it for editing. Scroll to the section where the presentation should live.
Option A — Add the deck as a direct PDF link
Add a Document element block and upload the exported PDF version of your presentation.
The proposal will render a clean view button. When the buyer clicks it, the deck opens smoothly in a native browser reader — no download required.
Option B — Embed the slides as inline scrolling images
Add a standard Image element and upload your JPEG slides one after another, stacked down the page.
The slides become part of the proposal body. Buyers scroll through the deck naturally as they read the rest of the page.
Option C — Use an interactive slideshow
Add a Slideshow block, select your first slide JPEG, and click the + icon to queue up slide two, slide three, and so on in order.
A compact carousel renders on the page. Buyers click the left and right arrows to flip through the deck without making the proposal longer.
The slideshow is the best fit when the deck is long and you don’t want it dominating the page.
Bonus — Display the deck as a grid gallery
Upload your slide JPEGs into a multi-image Gallery section.
The deck displays as a grid of clickable thumbnails. Buyers click any thumbnail to open an expanded lightbox view and browse through the slides from there.
Preview on mobile before you send
Most buyers will open your proposal on their phone between appointments. Preview the proposal on mobile to confirm the layout you chose reads well at that size, then send.
Picking the right layout
Any of these four options will work — the right choice depends on how you want the buyer to engage with the deck.
The PDF link is the most familiar experience and keeps the proposal page short. Inline images work well when the deck is the pitch and you want buyers to read through it as part of the proposal. The slideshow is best for long decks you want to keep contained. The gallery is a good fit when buyers are scanning for specific slides — floor plans, capacity charts, room renderings — and want to jump straight to them.
