We have upload limits primarily to prevent abuse. We currently allow 10 uploads per day up to a total of 100 all time. Upload limits do not apply to those with pro accounts.
The PDF that you upload cannot be larger than 150 MB.
We recommend decks that are at least 1024px wide. If they are not as wide as that, sometimes the quality can suffer.
If your deck is at least that wide and you are still having quality issues, please email [email protected] and we'll take a look.
Every deck on Speaker Deck has the oEmbed endpoint as a link tag in the header so it can be automatically detected by sites like Embed.ly.
For more documentation on oEmbed please see oembed.com. Our oEmbed endpoint is: https://speakerdeck.com/oembed.json so requesting an oEmbed would look like this: https://speakerdeck.com/oembed.json?url=URL_OF_THE_DECK
Here is a fully functioning example: https://speakerdeck.com/oembed.json?url=https://speakerdeck.com/jnunemaker/atom
