You've put together a reading list, a resource collection, or a portfolio in Raindrop.io — and now you want to share it with someone who doesn't have an account.

A public page turns any collection into a read-only webpage with its own link that anyone can open in a browser.

How it works

  • You publish individual collections — each gets its own link like username.raindrop.page/collection-name
  • Nested collections are included automatically
  • Everything you don't publish stays private
  • Once you have at least one public collection, your personal page at username.raindrop.page becomes accessible — it lists all your public collections in one place

Publishing

Open the collection you want to share. 
        <Step>
            Click the **Share** button in the top-right corner.

            <Frame style={{padding:0}}>![](/assets/collaboration-share.png)</Frame>

            <Note>If the **Share** button is not visible, make sure you are inside a specific collection — sharing is not available from "All bookmarks" or "Unsorted".</Note>
        </Step>

        <Step>
            Turn on **Public Page** and copy the link.

Unpublishing

To take a collection off the web, go back to Share and turn off Public Page. The link stops working immediately. If it was your only public collection, your personal page at username.raindrop.page becomes inaccessible too.

Personal page

Your personal page at username.raindrop.page is created automatically once you publish at least one collection. It shows all your public collections in one place.

To change the username or avatar displayed on the page, go to Account Settings.

FAQ

Yes. Tags assigned to bookmarks in a public collection are visible to anyone viewing the page. 
<Accordion title="Are public pages indexed by search engines?">
    Yes. Public pages are accessible to search engine crawlers and may appear in search results.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I make all bookmarks public at once?">
    No. You publish each collection individually. Nested collections within a published collection are included automatically.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I hide a public collection from my personal page?">
    Not at the moment — every public collection appears on your personal page.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I password-protect a public page?">
    No. Anyone with the link can view it. If you need restricted access, use [collaboration](/collaboration) to invite specific people.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why is my public collection not accessible?">
    Your email must be verified before public pages work. If you haven't confirmed it yet, go to [Account Settings](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/account) to resend the verification link.
