Send a copy of a presentation

You can send a copy of a presentation that recipients can open and modify however they want on their own computers and devices. Their changes don’t affect the original presentation or any other copies of the presentation.

If recipients of the presentation use different software than you, you can choose another format for the copy you’re sending. For example, you can send a copy as a PDF, a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (.pptx and .ppt), and more.

Send a copy

Before you send a copy of your presentation, you can restrict access to the copy by adding a password. To prevent anyone else from modifying the copy, you can lock the presentation.

Click in the toolbar, choose Send a Copy, then choose an option.
Choose a presentation format, then specify settings for the format.
Some file types offer choices for image quality, format options, or passwords.
Click Next.
Provide the requested information (an email address if you’re sending an email, for example).
If you aren’t signed in to your account for the method you chose, you’re asked to sign in before continuing. For AirDrop, the presentation is sent when the recipient accepts it.
