Use this interactive demo to learn how to publish and embed a Power BI report on the web.

Quick summary

Publishing a Power BI report to the web lets you create a public shareable link or embed code that anyone can access without a Power BI license. This step-by-step process takes under a minute using the built-in Publish to web feature inside Power BI Desktop or the Power BI service.

Steps

Open the report you want to publish and click File.
Select Embed report from the File menu options.
Choose Publish to web (public) to generate a shareable link that anyone can access.
Paste the embed code into your website's HTML to display the report.
Click Close to finalize the process and return to your report, ready to share your data story.

📌 Why this matters

Publishing Power BI reports to the web removes access barriers by generating a public shareable link or embeddable HTML snippet — no Power BI license required for viewers. This makes it easy for teams to surface live data dashboards directly on websites, intranets, or client portals without complex sharing permissions. The Publish to web feature is the fastest way to make Power BI insights accessible to a broader audience outside your organization. For data analysts and BI teams, it bridges the gap between internal reporting and public-facing data communication.
