How to publish a Claude artifact
Three ways, pick by how much control you need: Claude’s built-in Publish, the Pagelive connector inside Claude, or a manual HTML upload. All three end with a live link — they differ in privacy, branding, and tracking.
Native Claude Publish
One click inside Claude. Quick — but the page is public, unbranded, and untracked.
Jump to steps ↓Most control, still in chatPagelive connector
Say “publish this” in Claude and get a private, branded, tracked link — without leaving the chat.
Jump to steps ↓No setupUpload the HTML
Copy the artifact’s code and upload it yourself. Works without connecting anything.

A 60-second pre-flight check
- ✓ Preview the HTML outside Claude so you know it renders on its own — paste it into the free HTML viewer.
- ✓ Strip anything secret: API keys, internal URLs, client data you don’t want in the page source.
- ✓ Check it on a phone-sized window — most recipients open links on mobile first.
Artifact rendering blank or broken? Fix it first — Claude artifacts not working: common fixes.
Option 1
Native Claude Publish
Claude has its own Publish button on artifacts. Click it and the artifact becomes a public page on claude.ai with a shareable URL. For something you’d happily post anywhere — a fun demo, a public tool — it’s genuinely the fastest route.
- 1. Open the artifact in Claude.
- 2. Click Publish on the artifact window.
- 3. Copy the claude.ai link and share it.
Know the limits
- –The published page is public — anyone with the URL can open it.
- –No password gate, no custom domain, no analytics on who viewed it.
- –It lives on claude.ai, not on your own brand.

Option 2 · Recommended
Publish from inside Claude with the Pagelive connector
Add Pagelive to Claude once (it’s an MCP connector), and from then on publishing is a sentence: ask Claude to publish the artifact, and it comes back with a private, tracked link — no export, no copy-paste, no tab-switching.
Say this in Claude
“Publish this as a Pagelive page.”
Add the connector
In Claude (web or desktop), add Pagelive as a connector with the URL app.pagelive.io/api/mcp and approve it once.
Say “publish this”
With your artifact open, ask Claude to publish it as a Pagelive page. Claude sends the HTML over — no copy-paste.
Get your private link
Claude replies with a live link — noindex by default, so it won’t show up on Google. Add a password or your own domain from the dashboard.
Option 3
Upload the HTML manually
No connector, no setup — an artifact is just HTML, and you can publish it the old-fashioned way.
- 1. In Claude, open the artifact and copy its code (the full HTML).
- 2. Paste or drop it into the publish tool — or the dropzone on the Pagelive homepage for a no-signup trial link (live 7 days unless claimed).
- 3. You get the same private, tracked link — noindex by default, password optional.
Protect it
Add a password for client work
A published artifact that contains pricing, scope, or anything confidential deserves a gate. Flip on a password and only people with the link and the password get in. Passwords are encrypted — we can’t see them (PBKDF2) — and the page stays noindex regardless.
Password-protected pages →Page settings
Viewers see a clean unlock screen — no Pagelive account needed.
Brand it
Put it on your own domain
A proposal at pages.youragency.com/acme-proposal lands very differently from a generic share URL. Pro includes 5 custom domains and custom slugs (Team includes 25) — one domain hosts as many pages as you like.
After publishing
Track views and update the same link
Every published page reports opens, unique viewers, dwell time, a by-day breakdown, country, and referrer — bot opens filtered out — and you can get an email when someone opens it. Republish anytime: the link never changes, and version history keeps your previous edits.
Link tracking & analytics →Publishing FAQ
Will my published artifact show up on Google? +
Not from Pagelive — pages are noindex by default, so we tell search engines not to list them. Worth knowing: the easy free ways to put an AI-built page online usually do the opposite and publish it as a public, indexable web page. If the artifact is client work, the private default matters.
Do viewers need Claude to open my published artifact? +
No. A published artifact is a normal web page — it opens in any browser, with no Claude account, app, or login required (unless you add a password).
Can I update the artifact after publishing? +
Yes. Republish the new version and the link never changes — version history keeps your previous edits, so a client mid-read never hits a dead URL.
What does publishing cost? +
Your first 10 pages are free, no credit card. Pro is $15/mo ($150/yr) and adds custom domains and custom slugs; Team is $19/seat/mo. There’s a 14-day trial.
Publish your artifact in the next two minutes.
