Export Claude Artifacts to Your Own Website
Turn Claude's interactive tools into live websites in under 3 minutes. Get the code, deploy anywhere, and customize as needed.
Claude can build amazing interactive tools, but they don't have to stay trapped in your chat. You can export any artifact and host it on your own website. Here's how.
Method 1: Copy the Code Directly
Every artifact has a code view. To access it:
- Click on the artifact to expand it
- Look for the code icon (looks like
</>) in the top-right corner - Click it to reveal the full source code
- Copy everything
Alternatively, just ask Claude:
"Show me the complete code for this artifact"
Method 2: Ask for a Standalone HTML File
For simple deployment, ask Claude to convert the artifact:
"Convert this artifact into a single HTML file I can host anywhere"
Claude will create a self-contained HTML file with all CSS and JavaScript inline. You can literally save this as index.html and it works.
Method 3: Export as a Proper React Project
For more complex artifacts or if you want to customize further:
"Give me this as a complete React project with package.json and instructions to run it locally"
Claude will provide:
- All component files
- package.json with dependencies
- Step-by-step setup instructions
Where to Host Your Exported Artifact
Free and easy options:
| Platform | Best for | Deploy time |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub Pages | Static HTML files | 2 minutes |
| Cloudflare Pages | React apps, fast CDN | 3 minutes |
| Vercel | React/Next.js apps | 2 minutes |
| Netlify | Any static site | 2 minutes |
Quick Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
For a single HTML file:
# 1. Create a folder with your index.html
mkdir my-app && cd my-app
# 2. Save Claude's HTML output as index.html
# 3. Deploy with Wrangler
npx wrangler pages deploy .
Done. You'll get a .pages.dev URL instantly.
Pro Tips
Ask for mobile optimization:
"Make sure this artifact is fully responsive for mobile devices"
Request offline support:
"Add a service worker so this works offline"
Get it production-ready:
"Optimize this code for production – minify, remove console.logs, add error handling"
Add your branding:
"Update the artifact with my brand colors: primary #2563eb, background #f9fafb"
Real Example
I built a breathing exercise app with Claude and exported it. The process:
- Asked Claude to create the app (30 seconds)
- Requested standalone HTML version (10 seconds)
- Deployed to Cloudflare Pages (2 minutes)
Total time from idea to live website: under 3 minutes.
What Works Best for Export
| Artifact Type | Export Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Simple tools/calculators | Single HTML | Easiest, works everywhere |
| Data visualizations | Single HTML | Include any libraries inline |
| Games | React project | Better for complex state |
| Dashboards | React project | Easier to maintain |
Limitations to Know
- Artifacts using Claude's API calls won't work standalone (they need your own API key)
- Some complex React features may need adjustment
- Always test on your target platform before going live
The beauty is that even if something doesn't work perfectly, you can paste the error back to Claude and ask for a fix. It's an iterative process.
