Answering Downloading and Publishing FAQs

You can publish your project and share it online with others, embed it to your website or download it for offline use. Below are list of common questions that users have asked.

Will my published project only be accessible online or can I keep it private?

By default, publishing a project makes it public — anyone with the generated URL can view it online. If you don’t want your project to be public, don’t click Publish to the Web. Instead, share it privately so only people with the password you set can view it.

Will my content be indexed by search engines such as Google?

This depends on your Publish Settings. By default, published projects are public, which means Google can eventually index your content in its search results. Indexing can take days or weeks depending on how quickly Google crawls the page.

You can set your project to Private at any time to prevent Google from indexing it.

Can I Download my project without having it published online?

Yes. Your project is only published online if you click Publish to the Web. If you only want to download it, click Download in the top-right corner of the Visme Editor and select the format you need.

What is the difference between Private and Public Projects?

Public projects can be viewed by anyone with the project’s URL — no special access is required. Private projects are meant to be shared internally or with specific people who have the password you set.

Can I download a project for Print use?

Yes, you can download projects for print use. Learn more.

How do links work within project download formats?

– PNG/JPG: These are static images and do not support hyperlinks, regardless of the image source.

– PDFs: Supports all hyperlinks added to text or objects in the project.

– HTML5: Supports all hyperlinks added to text or objects in the project.

– Shared projects: All hyperlinks are supported when shared via published links or embeds.

– Hyperlinks do not work in MP4 or GIF formats, or when a design is posted directly to social media.

Can I password-protect a published project?

Yes. From the Share panel, set a password before publishing. Anyone with the link will need to enter it to view the project.

Can I unpublish a project after it’s live?

Yes. You can unpublish a project at any time from the Share panel, which removes public access to the URL.

Will my published project update automatically if I edit it later?

Yes. The shareable link stays the same after every update. Anyone with the link automatically sees the latest version — you don’t need to republish or reshare it.

Can I download a published project as a file too?

Yes. Publishing and downloading are independent — you can do either, both, or neither, depending on your needs.
