Do viewers need a Google account?

No. Once published it's a plain web page, open to anyone with the link.

Why not just share from Drive?

Drive is built for files, not pages. An HTML file there usually downloads rather than renders, and viewers hit permission prompts. Here the page just opens.

Will interactive canvas apps work?

Yes, as long as everything runs in the browser. The file is served exactly as uploaded.

Can I publish a Gemini-generated image?

Yes. Images get their own address and display in the browser rather than downloading.

Can I password-protect it?

Yes, set a password when you publish and visitors are asked for it first.

Host your Gemini canvas output at your own address

Gemini writes the page. You give it a home. One file, one address, open to anyone with the link.

You can host:

Drop your Gemini canvas file here

Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site

Why the artifact has nowhere to go

Gemini's canvas will happily build you a working page — an interactive explainer, a small tool, a formatted document. Then you're left holding it. Sharing through Google means a Drive link and a permissions dialog, which is a lot of friction for something that is, underneath, a single file that any browser can open.

What Gemini gives you

Interactive pages and small apps written in canvas
Documents you can export and publish as they are
Diagrams and generated images ready to share

Drive links come with permissions

Sharing through Drive means deciding who's allowed, and often means the recipient hitting a request-access screen instead of your page.

Preview isn't the real thing

An HTML file in Drive tends to be offered as a download rather than rendered. The interactive thing you built shows up as a file to save.

It's inside a conversation

Canvas output lives in the chat that made it. That's a fine place to build and a poor place to keep something you want to send people.

Putting Gemini output online

1
Export from canvas
Download the file, or copy the code into a text editor and save it with a .html ending. What you want is one file that runs by itself.
2
Drop it in
Drag it into the box above and pick a short address. Several files? Drop the folder and they publish together.
3
Share the address
It's live immediately, renders properly in every browser, and needs no Google account to open.

Worth knowing

Ask Gemini to inline the CSS and JavaScript if you'd rather manage a single file.
Give the page a <title> before publishing — it's what appears in the tab and in link previews.
Generated images publish on their own and get a direct link, which is handy for embedding elsewhere.
If the page pulls from a Google API, check the key's referrer restrictions cover your new address.
Republish to the same address to update it; the link never changes.
