Genially's own share link is public by design: anyone who has it, or finds it, can open your creation, and the URL says whose platform it lives on. Sometimes that's exactly right. When it isn't — a client's material, a paid course module, an internal training piece, a resource meant for one class and not the open web — download the offline HTML version, zip it, and drop it in. You get an unguessable link that keeps every interaction and animation running, stays out of search engines, takes a password if you want one, and on Studio sits on your own domain instead of a platform's.

In Genially, download your creation as HTML for offline viewing. What you get is a ZIP containing genially.html and the folder of assets it needs. Don't unpack and re-arrange it — drop the ZIP in as-is. miinideck expands it, finds the entry page automatically even though it isn't named index.html, and serves the whole bundle behind one private link, so every asset path resolves the way Genially expects.
Send the link. It's unguessable and no-indexed by default, so a client's material or a paid module never surfaces in a search result and only the people you send it to can open it. They get the real interactive piece in their browser — buttons, hotspots, animations, navigation — with no Genially account and nothing to install.
Add a password when the content is under NDA or behind a paywall, set an expiry for a piece tied to a course cohort or an event, and re-upload a revised export whenever you update it — the link doesn't change, so nobody ends up on last month's version. On Studio it runs on your own domain with the platform branding gone.
Yes — that's the point of that export format, as opposed to downloading a PDF or an image. The offline HTML build keeps the animations and the interactive elements running, because it's a real web page rather than a flattened snapshot. The documented caveat is about anything that lives outside the file: content pulled from the internet, like an embedded YouTube video, needs a connection to play. Hosting the export on a link rather than opening it from a hard drive actually removes most of that problem, because your reader is online when they open it.
Yes. Downloading a creation is a premium feature on Genially's side, and the HTML-for-offline format is one of the paid download options — so this route assumes you're already on one of their paid plans. If you're on their free tier, the export doesn't exist to upload, and their own public share link is what you have. That's their boundary, not something a host can work around, and it's worth knowing before you plan a delivery around it.
Because they answer different questions. Their link is the fastest way to put something in front of anyone, and for public content it's the obvious choice. A private link answers a narrower need: this should open for the people I send it to and nobody else, it shouldn't appear in search, it should be able to carry a password, and — for client work — it shouldn't be visibly hosted on someone else's platform. If none of those matter for a given piece, use their link; it's less work.
Yes, on Studio ($14.99/mo). The link runs on a domain you own with the white-label option, so a client opening your training module or interactive report sees your name in the address bar rather than any platform's. On the free tier and Solo it's still a clean private link, just on the miinideck domain.
The single-upload ceiling is 10MB on the free tier, 25MB on Solo, and 50MB on Studio. Genially exports that are mostly design, text, and interaction sit comfortably in that range. Ones stuffed with high-resolution imagery or embedded media can run past it — in which case compressing the heavy images before you export, or leaving video to stream from a video platform rather than bundling it, usually brings it back under.
Yes. Set an expiry and the link stops working on the date you pick, which suits a cohort-bound course module or an event resource. On the free tier every link self-destructs after 7 days by default; on Solo ($4.99/mo) and up links never expire unless you tell them to, and you can delete a link at any time on any plan.
