Share an AI-Generated Pitch Deck as a Link (No JavaScript Needed)

To share an AI-generated pitch deck as a link, ask your AI tool for a single HTML file that uses only CSS, upload it at squish.to/upload, and send the short link you get back. Each slide is a full-screen section that snaps into place as the reader scrolls or swipes. The stats page then shows when the deck was opened, from where, and from which source.

The "only CSS" part matters. squish.to serves uploaded HTML as a static page with scripts switched off, and many AI-built decks rely on JavaScript for their slide controls. A deck built with plain CSS works perfectly. Here is how to get one.

Why many AI decks need a small tweak

Ask an AI tool for an HTML presentation and you will often get a reveal.js style deck. Those decks load a script that handles arrow keys, transitions and the slide counter. On squish.to, the page is served with a policy that blocks all scripts, including ones loaded from a CDN. The slides would still be in the page, but the controls would not run.

The fix is easy, and it also makes the deck friendlier for the person receiving it. A deck built from scroll-snap sections needs nothing to run. It works with a thumb swipe on a phone, a trackpad on a laptop, and the arrow keys or space bar in most browsers, because it is just a page that scrolls.

The prompt

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT or any AI tool, and fill in the brackets:

Create a single self-contained HTML file for a [number]-slide pitch deck for [prospect or audience]. Use only HTML and inline CSS, with no JavaScript and no external scripts. Make each slide a full-screen section using CSS scroll snap, so the page snaps from one slide to the next as you scroll. Use scroll-snap-type: y proximity and min-height: 100vh on each slide so tall content is never cut off on a phone. Slides: [title, the problem, our solution, proof, pricing, next step]. Large text, high contrast, and mobile friendly. Keep the file under 5MB.

The core of what you should get back looks like this:

<style>
  html { scroll-snap-type: y proximity; }
  section {
    min-height: 100vh;
    scroll-snap-align: start;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    padding: 6vw;
  }
</style>
<section><h1>Acme + Globex</h1></section>
<section><h2>The problem</h2></section>

We suggest proximity rather than mandatory for one practical reason. With mandatory, a slide that is taller than the screen can be hard to scroll through on a phone. proximity still snaps neatly but never traps the reader.

Upload it and send the link

  1. Save the HTML as a file, for example acme-deck.html.
  2. Open squish.to/upload, choose the file, and optionally pick a custom name such as acme-deck. Custom names use letters, numbers and hyphens, from 3 to 30 characters.
  3. Copy the short link and send it by email, LinkedIn message or calendar invite. A QR code comes with it, which is handy if you want the deck on a slide at an event.

The file limit is 10MB, and uploaded files stay live for 30 days. That fits a typical sales cycle, and if a deal runs long you can upload again and send a fresh link.

What you will see after the deck is sent

Click View stats, or visit squish.to/stats and enter your link name. You get total opens, opens in the last 7 days, your busiest day, a 14-day chart, and a list of recent opens with the time, country and source.

Two things are worth knowing:

  • It counts opens, not slides. Stats record each time the link is opened. They cannot tell you which slide someone stopped on or how long they spent on pricing.
  • It counts per link, not per person. To know which prospect opened what, upload one copy per prospect: acme-deck, globex-deck. It takes seconds and keeps each set of stats tied to one conversation.

Some email security tools and chat apps load links automatically to scan or preview them, which can add an open that no human made. An open within a second or two of sending is probably a preview, while one hours later is more likely a person.

Tips for decks that travel well

  • Keep it short. Six to eight slides read well as a scrolling page.
  • Inline your styles and images. Put CSS in the file and embed small images, so the deck is one file that travels as one link.
  • End on one next step. A single "Book a call" button beats five options.
  • Want a downloadable version too? You can upload a PDF as well. We covered that in sending a PDF proposal as a link.

FAQ

How do I share an AI-generated pitch deck as a link? Ask your AI tool for a single HTML file using only CSS, with no JavaScript. Upload it at squish.to/upload and share the short link you get back.

Why do my reveal.js slides not respond to the arrow keys? squish.to serves uploaded HTML as a static page with scripts blocked, so slide controls that rely on JavaScript will not run. Ask for a CSS scroll-snap deck instead.

Can I see which slide someone viewed? No. Stats show opens of the link, not activity inside the page.

Can I see which person opened my deck? Stats are per link, so upload one copy per prospect and send each their own link.

How long does the deck stay online? Uploaded files stay live for 30 days, and the file limit is 10MB.
