What's the best DocSend alternative for PowerPoint?

DocSend has long been the only tool that keeps video playable inside a shared deck. SendNow does the same, and adds NDA gating and per-slide analytics on lower-priced plans.

Do recipients need PowerPoint or an account?

Neither. They open a link. Works on desktop and mobile.

How large can my deck be?

Up to 400MB per file — enough for a video-heavy pitch deck.

Can I require an NDA before someone views my deck?

Yes. Recipients sign before any slide loads, and each signature is recorded against the view.

Can I see which slides they actually watched?

Yes — time per slide, order viewed, and where they dropped off.

PowerPoint (.pptx) Native Browser Sharing

Your PowerPoint. Video and audio intact.

Most sharing tools flatten your deck into a PDF and kill every video in it. SendNow renders the real .pptx in the browser — embedded video and audio play exactly where you put them.

The PDF Problem

PDF conversion kills the thing you're selling

If your product demo lives inside your deck, a PDF export throws it away. You're left emailing a 300MB attachment, hosting the video separately, or rebuilding the whole thing as a screen recording.

None of that is trackable. None of it is gated. And you lose the one moment your pitch depends on.

The PDF Flattening Nightmare

Legacy sharing tools convert .pptx into static pictures. Videos freeze into dead screenshots.

Video players flatten into unclickable static images

300MB email attachments bounce or get blocked by spam filters

Recipients must click away to external Loom or YouTube links

Zero visibility into whether investors watched your key demo moment

Result: Broken investor pitches and wasted sales momentum.

Live Telemetry

What you get

Engineered for high-stakes presentations

Everything required to pitch, present, protect, and track without forcing software on your client.

Real slides, not screenshots

Text, shapes, charts and SmartArt render as live slides. Embedded fonts travel with your deck, so your typography holds.

Font Fidelity

Video and audio positioned exactly as authored, with working controls. Nothing to click away to.

Native In-Place Player

Presenter mode

Arrow keys, click navigation, and timed autoplay. Recipients on mobile swipe through and can view fullscreen in landscape.

Mobile Gestures

Gate it properly

Require an email, a password, or a signed NDA before a single slide loads. Set expiry dates and view limits.

Legally Binding NDAs

Watermarks that follow the viewer

Stamp each recipient's email across every slide, so a leaked screenshot names its source.

Dynamic Watermarking

Per-slide analytics

Which slides held attention, which got skipped, and exactly when someone stopped reading.

Dwell Time Tracking

Honest about the edges

Transparent engineering limits

Animations and slide transitions don't survive — no browser-based viewer preserves those, DocSend included. Legacy .ppt isn't supported; save as .pptx. And if your deck uses a licensed font we can't redistribute, we substitute a metrically identical one so your layout stays put.

Animations & Transitions

Browser viewers render final slide states cleanly rather than jarring animations.

Save as .pptx

Modern XML-based .pptx format is supported. Legacy 1997–2003 .ppt should be re-saved.

Font Substitution

Proprietary fonts use metrically matched typefaces to avoid layout reflow or line wrapping.
