How to Export Gemini Interactive Apps to Google Sites

Google now lets you export interactive apps built in the Gemini app straight to Google Sites. One click creates a private site draft with your app already embedded and fully working. You can then edit, publish, and share it like any other Google Site.

This removes the old copy-paste workflow. No more extracting HTML, wrapping it in tags, or rebuilding the interface. The feature rolled out on October 19, 2026, and works on the web, Android, and iOS for anyone with Gemini app access.

What you need before you start

You need access to the Gemini app and permission to create Google Sites. Personal Google accounts with Gemini access qualify. Google Workspace users can export only if Sites is enabled and they can create and edit sites. The resulting site follows your existing Google Sites and Drive sharing policies.

Interactive apps come from Gemini Canvas. Describe a tool, quiz, calculator, or dashboard in plain language. Gemini builds a working preview you can refine. Once it looks right, the export option appears.

Step-by-step: Export your app

1. Open the Gemini app on the web or mobile and start or continue a Canvas conversation.
2. Build or refine your interactive app. Test the preview to confirm buttons, inputs, and calculations work as expected.
3. On the finished app, select Export and choose Google Sites.
4. Google opens a new private site draft in Google Sites with the app already placed and interactive.
5. Add extra text, images, or pages if needed. Adjust the layout so the embedded app fits cleanly.
6. Click Publish when ready. Choose the audience: specific people, your domain, or public.
7. Copy the published site link and share it.

The draft starts private. Nothing is visible until you publish. You keep full control over who can view or edit the site.

Tips for better results

Prompt Gemini to create a single self-contained HTML file. Multi-file apps or those that rely on external assets may not embed cleanly. Ask for clear labels, mobile-friendly layout, and working examples of every interactive element.

After export, open the site draft and test every control. Some complex interactions behave differently once moved into Sites. If something breaks, return to the Gemini conversation, adjust the prompt, and export again.

For classroom or team use, place the app on a dedicated page and add short instructions above it. Students or colleagues can then interact without needing Gemini access themselves.

If you already use Gemini for study materials, this pairs well with Notebook tools. See our guide on Gemini Notebook study tools for related ways to turn sources into quizzes and overviews you can later share.

Who can use the feature

The export is available now to Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and personal Google accounts that have Gemini app access. There is no separate admin toggle. Availability follows your existing Sites creation rights.

Rollout covers Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains on web, Android, and iOS. If you do not see the Export > Google Sites option, confirm you are using the latest Gemini app and that Canvas produced an interactive app rather than plain text.

Common use cases

Teams can drop a project estimator or status dashboard onto an internal portal. Teachers can share a practice quiz or concept explorer with a class. Freelancers can publish a client-facing calculator without hosting their own site.

Because the site remains a normal Google Site, you can later embed additional content, connect forms, or restrict access by domain. Updates require re-exporting if you change the underlying app in Gemini.

Conclusion

Exporting interactive apps from Gemini to Google Sites turns a prototype into a shareable page in minutes. Test the app thoroughly in Canvas, export, refine the site draft, and publish with the right audience settings. The one-click path removes the previous manual embedding steps while keeping Google’s existing sharing controls.
