Use this interactive demo to learn how to deploy a React app on Replit.

‍

This tutorial shows how to deploy your React app on Replit so it's publicly accessible in the cloud on a permanent URL.

Notes:

You need a Replit account and a working React project. If you haven't built one yet, see How to Create a React App on Replit first.
Deployments require a paid Replit plan. Confirm your account has Deployments access before starting.
Make sure your app runs correctly in the workspace before deploying.
Deployments are now called Publishing.

Sign in at replit.com and open your React project from the dashboard.
In your workspace, click New Tab and select Publishing (previously called Deployments). The Publishing panel opens.
Click Adjust Settings to choose a deployment type.
- Static for frontend-only React apps with no backend
- Autoscale for React apps with a backend or API layer that needs to scale with traffic
- Reserved VM for a dedicated, always-on environment.
Click Publish. Replit builds your project and deploys it to a replit.app subdomain. This typically takes one to two minutes.
When deployment completes, check for a green status indicator in the Published panel. Click the generated URL to confirm your React app is live.

📌 Why this matters

Deploying your React app gives it a real public URL that works for anyone, anywhere, without needing to run anything locally. For frontend projects, the Static deployment type keeps costs low while delivering fast load times through Replit's infrastructure. If your app grows to include a backend or API, switching deployment types is straightforward without rebuilding your project. It's the fastest path from a finished UI to a shareable, production-ready web app.
