# Public page

> Share your bookmarks and collections with anyone via a public link

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

## 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](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/account).

## Customizing

You can control the appearance of any public page by appending `/view/` and parameters to the URL:

```
https://exentrich.raindrop.page/design-66/view/theme=dark&sort=-title&page=3
```

| Parameter | Values                                            | Default | Description        |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------ |
| `sort`    | `-created`, `created`, `-title`, `title`, `-sort` | `-sort` | Bookmark order     |
| `search`  | `#tag`, `apple`, etc.                             | —       | Search query       |
| `theme`   | `light`, `dark`, `auto`                           | `light` | Color theme        |
| `page`    | `0`, `1`, `2`...                                  | `0`     | Page number        |
| `perpage` | `1`–`50`                                          | `30`    | Bookmarks per page |
