Share your talk as a link that plays like the talk
The audience gets the real slides, not a flattened PDF on a slide-sharing site. One link on the last slide, one QR code, and the deck plays in whatever browser they have open.
"Slides will be shared later" is where talks die
You say it at the end of every talk. Then the organiser asks for a PDF, the PDF drops the build that made your best slide work, and the video of the demo becomes a black rectangle. By the time it is posted, the audience has moved on.
The fix is to have the link before you walk on stage.
One link, one QR, one update after the Q&A
Upload the deck the morning of the talk. Put the link and a QR code on your closing slide. People scan it while you are still on stage and get the deck with the builds, the video and the audio you timed.
On Pro, when someone in the Q&A points out a wrong figure, you export again and replace the deck in place. Everyone who scanned the code now sees the corrected version at the same link.
How to export the talk in 60 seconds
- In Keynote for Mac: File → Export To → HTML… and save the export.
- Right-click the exported folder and choose Compress.
- Upload the .zip on linkdeck.me and copy the link. Paste it into any QR generator for the closing slide.
What the free plan covers for a one-off talk
Free hosts one deck up to 200 MB, and the link works for 3 days after upload (24 hours if you upload without signing in). For a single conference that is usually enough: upload the morning of, share at the end, and the people who care open it that evening.
If you speak regularly, Pro (€12 a month) keeps 10 decks online permanently, lets you pick a slug like linkdeck.me/yourname-conf-talk, and shows you views, countries, devices and time per slide.
When Speaker Deck is still the right choice
If your slides are static and you want them indexed, embedded in blog posts and discoverable on a public profile, Speaker Deck does that for free and Linkdeck does not. Linkdeck is for talks where the motion, the video or the audio is part of the argument, and where you want a link you control rather than a public feed.
Keynote only
Linkdeck hosts Keynote's HTML export. If the talk was built in PowerPoint, open the .pptx in Keynote first, check the animations, then export to HTML. Google Slides decks are not supported.
Questions
How long does the free link last?
3 days after upload, or 24 hours if you uploaded without signing in. Pro links stay up for as long as you subscribe.
Can I see how many people opened it?
On Pro, yes: views, countries, devices and time per slide. With the email gate on, you also get the addresses of people who opened the deck.
Does the QR code work on Android?
Yes. The link opens in Chrome or any other browser. The viewer needs no app, no Apple ID and no download.
Upload the talk before you go on stage
Export to HTML, zip it, upload it free. Put the link on your last slide.
