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

Two paths: (1) Use Claude's native sharing — legacy Publish (chat artifacts, Free/Pro/Max) gives anyone a public link without a Claude account; new Share (Pro/Max) requires a Claude account to view. (2) Upload the HTML to ShareDuo — the resulting link works for anyone without a Claude account, plus adds expiry, password, and view analytics.

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

It depends on the artifact type. Legacy published artifacts (Publish button) are publicly viewable without a Claude account. New artifacts shared via the Share button require a Claude account to open. If a recipient hits a sign-in wall on a standard HTML artifact, the artifact is likely AI-powered (requires an active session). ShareDuo provides a no-account path for all artifact types.

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 depends on which artifact type you have. Legacy chat artifacts (Free/Pro/Max) use Publish — anyone can open the link without a Claude account. New artifacts (Pro/Max) use Share — viewers need a Claude account. For a no-account link that works for any artifact type, upload the HTML to ShareDuo: you get expiry control, password protection, and view analytics too.

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 — legacy chat artifacts are publicly viewable by anyone with the link; new artifacts require a Claude account.

Claude's legacy Publish (chat artifacts, Free/Pro/Max) generates a public link — standard HTML artifacts load for anyone, no login required. The newer Share button (new artifacts, Pro/Max) requires a Claude account to open. Neither offers expiry control, password protection, or view analytics. AI-powered artifacts always require sign-in.

For sharing where you need expiry, access control, or analytics — or where recipients might not have a Claude account — you need a hosting solution that adds those controls.
