How to send a Keynote file.

Keynote files are macOS bundles, so they cannot travel as a single attachment without zipping. quik.space takes the zipped Keynote byte-for-byte and gives the recipient a Mac-ready download link.

What is a Keynote presentation?

Keynote presentation files use the .key extension with no single standard MIME type. The format sits in the document category. Typical files run 20 MB - 1 GB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Keynote presentation

Keynote files are macOS bundles. Email cannot handle the bundle structure, and embedded media often runs hundreds of megabytes.Slack, Discord, and most other workplace tools have similar caps, often around 1 GB for free tiers and with aggressive per-channel storage limits. Even when the file fits, it counts against the recipient’s mailbox quota forever.

How quik.space handles Keynote presentation

quik.space takes the zipped Keynote file byte-for-byte. The recipient unzips on macOS, double-clicks the .key, and Keynote opens with every slide and every embedded video. Where the format is browser-friendly (PDF, plain text, markdown), the share page renders an inline preview. Other documents download directly.

The file lives for 72 hours by default and then enters a 7-day grace period. We do not train AI on your files. We do not share them with third parties. After grace, the bytes are permanently purged from storage. Read the full policy on privacy.

Frequently asked

Should I zip the .key file?
Yes, especially if sharing with a non-Mac recipient. .key is a bundle on macOS; zipping preserves the structure across filesystems.
Can a Windows user open the file?
Keynote is Mac-only. Export to PPTX or PDF for cross-platform sharing.
Will transitions and Magic Move survive?
Yes. The .key bundle contents are byte-identical.
What about embedded video files?
Embedded video stays inside the bundle. The size adds up; pay $5 for files up to 5 GB.
