How do I get a shareable link for a Claude artifact?

Two paths: use Claude's built-in Publish button to get a claude.ai link (works for anyone for standard HTML artifacts, no account required), or upload the artifact's HTML to ShareDuo for a link with expiry control, password protection, and view analytics.

Why doesn't Claude's built-in share work for everyone?

Standard published artifacts are publicly viewable — no login required. If a recipient hits a sign-in wall, the artifact is likely AI-powered (calls Claude's API at runtime, which requires an active session). Claude's Publish also lacks expiry control, password options, and analytics, which is why ShareDuo is useful.

Can I customize the URL of a shared artifact?

Not on Claude's native Publish — those URLs are auto-generated. ShareDuo lets you choose a custom slug for paid plans. For full URL control, host on a domain you own (GitHub Pages or any static host).

How to Get a Shareable Link for Any Claude Artifact

Getting a shareable link for a Claude artifact sounds simple — and Claude does have a Publish button. Claude's Publish creates a genuinely public link: standard HTML artifacts load for anyone, no account required. But if you want expiry control, password protection, or view analytics on top of that, you need one more step. For a full comparison of all sharing methods, see 5 ways to share a Claude artifact. For background on what Claude's Publish button actually does, see the dedicated explainer.

What does Claude's built-in sharing actually do?

Claude's Share artifact dialog showing Publish to web and Share with your team options — Claude's native Share dialog — standard HTML artifacts are publicly viewable by anyone with the link.

Claude's Publish feature generates a public link to your artifact hosted on claude.ai. Standard HTML artifacts load for anyone — no login required. The limitations: no expiry control, no password, no view analytics, and published artifacts may be indexed by search engines. AI-powered artifacts (ones calling Claude's API at runtime) do require sign-in.

For sharing where you need expiry, access control, or analytics — for clients, external stakeholders, or anything sensitive — you need a hosting solution that adds those controls.

How to get a shareable link with full access control

The simplest solution: copy the HTML out of Claude and upload it to ShareDuo. You'll get a public link that works in any browser, plus expiry, password, and view analytics. The full step-by-step walkthrough covers each option in detail.
