I used Canvases for the first time this morning and was blown away! My first question to the team was “How can I share these”? Hope we have an answer soon. :slight_smile:

In the meantime, I asked the agent to export my canvas as HTML which I could then save as a PDF. Not necessarily “simple”, but it works.

100%

I second this, i’ve been using cursor to generate certain reports for otel analysis and overall documents i can present to my techical /non technical colleagues. I’ve mostly been doing this via .md files and mermaid, canvas is just on another visual level and its amazing but Its not really easily sharable, if we could just have a simple print to pdf i think it would be good enough for my use case.

I have been doing this hack until they add this feature:

  1. Open Inspect Element (right click on the canvas to get the option)
  2. Open Network Tab
  3. Reload the page (right click on the canvas and reload)
  4. In the network tab you will see the build html page direct link (the first one in the network tab)
  5. Right click on it → Copy → Copy URL
  6. Open in browser
  7. Print as PDF (cmd + p / ctrl + p)

Another easy way:

  1. Open Inspect Element
  2. Open console
  3. Type in window.print() (type in allow pasting if warned)
  4. Print as PDF

Cheers.

But cursor team should definitely add it. Its a very essential thing!

yeah static webpage sharing should be good for most usecases.
I finally decided to host the ouput as i require a bit of persistent data.

And in addition to the Export to PDF, and copy url, Copy as Markdown as well. And right-click share in chat or someway to drag it into or reference it in another chat.

13

Shared canvases are now available!

Wow game changer, thanks!!!

Can I just say… I freaking love this feature! It’s super helpful to share context on a PR with my reviewers. The renders tend to be so much better than mermaid or plantuml.

One more little tweak would be really nice - after publishing, a quick way to open the published canvas in the browser. I prefer viewing the canvas in a browser instead of within Cursor itself and currently do Publish → Copy link → Switch to browser → Paste.

Thanks so much!

is sharing canvas only allowed within team ?
what if we need make it public and share with other members who are not as part of our cursor team ? is that possible right away ? apart from other suggested options

Currently, Shared Canvases are only possible within your team! We’re looking at ways to expand this (the same way chats can be shared outside a team, if a team allows).

The canvas is rendered from a self-contained HTML file that already lives in your workspace, so you don’t have to wait for sharing to ship. Grab that file and host it anywhere.

Disclosure: I build Markloop, which adds the review part. Cursor connects to it over MCP, the agent pushes the canvas HTML, and people outside your Cursor team open a link and leave anchored comments, no account. Wrote up the full workflow here: How to Get Comments on a Cursor Canvas (2026)

Still team only on Cursor’s side (Colin’s note above). If the person is not on your Cursor team - PM, client, classmate - drop the .canvas.tsx (or the mermaid .md) here and send the short link:

They open it in any browser.
