Free WordPress plugin
Your investor deck, on your own website.
DeckDesh gives every deck a private link on your domain, opens it in a viewer that inherits your site’s design, and tells you when it was read — with no file-sharing service in between.
The difference
Where does your deck live right now?
A file-sharing link puts the most important document you own on someone else’s domain, inside someone else’s interface. The investor reads it, closes the tab, and is gone. You may never know it was opened.
With DeckDesh the link is yourcompany.com/deckdesh/… It opens inside your site. When they finish the deck, they are already on your website.
- ×Their logo, their cookie banner — sometimes their “sign up to view”.
- ×A dead end. Nothing about you beyond the PDF.
- ×A link that lives forever, forwarded to whoever.
- ×No idea whether it was read.
- ✓Your header, your footer, your navigation one click away.
- ✓A private link on your domain that cannot be guessed or found.
- ✓Expire or revoke it whenever you like.
- ✓Know when it was opened, and each share action from the viewer.
How it works
Three steps, no account
Everything happens on your WordPress site. There is nothing to sign up for and no service to keep paying.
Drop the PDF on the manage page
Give it a title, the recipient’s name and a version. Tag it if you like. The file is stored in a protected private directory under a random name.
Take the link
A 10-digit id plus a signature. It cannot be guessed, it is not listed anywhere, and search engines are told to ignore it.

Paste it in the email
When it is opened, the sheet says so. If the investor shares it from the viewer, that forward carries its own tag so you can tell it apart.
The link
Every link is a one-off — unguessable, and it doesn’t live forever
A deck’s address isn’t a filename — it’s a random id plus a 128-bit random token, checked on your server and never shown on the page. And you decide how long it stays alive.
The investor’s view
It looks like your site, because it is your site
The viewer is rendered by your theme — classic or block — so the header and footer are the real ones. Change your site’s design and every deck follows.
- 1Your header and navigationProduct, team, news — one click from the deck.
- 2Who it is for, which versionRecipient and version sit beside the deck, so nobody wonders whether they have the latest.
- 3Download and share, if you allow itSwitch them on or off. Zoom and fit for the rest.
- 4Your footer, your contact detailsWhen they finish, they are on your site with a way to reach you.
Control
Private by construction
Not settings to remember — how the plugin is built.
Files kept private
Documents live in a protected, private directory under random names and are served only through the plugin. DeckDesh checks whether your server blocks direct file access — and can be hardened to store them outside the web root entirely.
Download, on or off
Decide per document whether a recipient can save the PDF, or only read it in the viewer.
Know when it was read
A view is recorded after real dwell time, with scanners and bots filtered out. Open the sheet and see it.
Nothing leaves your server
No third-party service, no account with us, no tracking pixel of ours. The manage page is password-protected on your own site.
Who it is for
Built for founders who send decks to investors
If you are raising a round, you send the same PDF dozens of times to people who see hundreds of them. DeckDesh makes yours arrive from your own domain, open inside your own site, and report back.
It is a WordPress plugin because that is where most company websites already live. Install it, set a password, upload the deck. Ten minutes.
Roadmap
What comes next
Planned, in rough order. Not promises — the download form below is how we tell you when one ships.
Interactive HTML documents
Share a live prototype, an HTML deck or a data room page under the same private link, with the same tracking.
More document types
Spreadsheets, short videos, image sets — anything a founder attaches to an email today.
One deck, many links
A separate link per recipient, so you know who opened it rather than that it was opened.
Open notifications
An email from your own site when a deck is opened. Nothing goes through us.

Made by Boaz Almog. I built DeckDesh for my own site after one too many investor decks went out through a file-sharing link that told me nothing about who opened them. Questions or a feature you need? Email me — I read every message.
