How to share a Claude artifact – with people who don't have Claude

Claude builds a dashboard, a calculator or a small app in seconds. Sharing is the hard part: since September 2026 recipients of new artifacts need a Claude account, 50 external people per artifact is the maximum, and there is no password.

In short

Download the artifact in Claude (HTML), drop it on annopane.com, “Share link”. The link opens in the browser without an account, optionally with a password. Recipients comment right in the artifact; Claude fetches the comments via the Annopane connector and uploads the new version under the same link.

This guide shows the path via Annopane – manually in three steps or fully automatic, with Claude publishing itself.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Download the artifact

    Open the artifact in Claude, top right “Download” (or copy the code and save as .html). For React artifacts, ask Claude to produce a standalone HTML file.

  2. 2

    Drop it into Annopane

    Open annopane.com, drag the file in or “Choose a file”. On the phone: “share” the HTML file from Mail/Files to Annopane or paste the code from the clipboard.

  3. 3

    Share the link – with or without password

    No account: “Share link (no account)”, valid 7 days. With a free account: “Share” → role “Commenter”, set password and expiry. Send the link or QR code.

  4. 4

    Automatic: Claude publishes itself

    In Annopane under Settings → “Connect Claude & co.” create a token and add the URL as a custom connector in Claude. Then just say: “Publish this to Annopane.” Later: “Fetch the comments and apply them” – Claude uploads version 2 under the same link and ticks off the resolved comments.

What happens with live data

Artifacts pulling data via Claude connectors (e.g. from Google Drive or a database) only work inside claude.ai. Have Claude write the current values into the file – “as a standalone HTML file with today's data, please” – and upload a new version when needed. For monthly reports that's usually exactly right.

Sharing in Claude vs. Annopane – in short

If everyone involved uses Claude, share directly in Claude. If clients, investors or friends without Claude are involved, you want a password, or the artifact should go on the phone as an app, use Annopane. The detailed comparison is linked below.

Frequently asked questions

Can I password-protect a Claude artifact?

Not in Claude. In Annopane: with a free account, set a password when creating the link. Recipients enter it once.

Do recipients need an Annopane account?

No. Viewing always works without an account; a name is all it takes to comment.

Do React artifacts work?

As a standalone HTML file, yes. Ask Claude: “Export this as a single HTML file with embedded scripts.” Artifacts calling the Claude API at runtime don't work outside Claude.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Up to 5 files free forever, unlimited during the beta. Recipients never pay.
