Urdu sharing guide

How to share Urdu writing online with a WriteUrdu link

Card Studio can publish a finished Urdu card as a short write-urdu.com/s/… link. People who receive it see the visual, can read the Urdu as text, and can start their own design from Write Urdu.

Publish an Urdu card in four steps

Publishing is separate from downloading. Nothing is uploaded merely because you design a card or save a PNG.

  1. Create the card. Open Urdu Card Studio, enter your Urdu, choose the size, font, colours and background, and review the preview.
  2. Choose Publish & Share. The first time, Write Urdu explains that a public page will be created. Choose Publish & get link only when you are comfortable making that snapshot public.
  3. Receive the short link. Write Urdu creates a new address such as write-urdu.com/s/k7P4z8Q. The published snapshot is separate from your local editable project.
  4. Copy or share the link. Use Copy link or the device Share action. You can also open the public page first to see what recipients will receive.

Download, image sharing and publishing are different actions

Download PNG saves a file on your device. Share image only sends that image file when your browser supports it. Neither creates a public Write Urdu page. Only Publish & Share creates a /s/… link.

What happens when someone opens the link?

The shared page is intentionally a simple viewing and continuation surface, not a public profile or social feed.

Read and share

The visitor sees the published image, the public Urdu text and optional author/source attribution. They can copy the link or share it again.

Create their own version

Create your own Urdu design opens a fresh Card Studio project. Use this text brings the already-public Urdu text into a new local project. Nothing is automatically republished.

If that person later chooses Publish & Share, Write Urdu creates a new short link for their new snapshot. This is how the sharing loop can continue without making the original card collaboratively editable.

What stays local and what becomes public?

Write Urdu keeps the normal browser-first workflow. Publishing is an explicit boundary: only the selected public snapshot crosses it.

Stays on your device by default

Your other Card Studio projects, draft history and original locally selected image asset remain in browser storage. Downloading or image-only sharing does not create a public page.

Uploaded after Publish & Share

The rendered public card PNG, the Urdu text shown on the public page, optional enabled attribution and small operational metadata are stored so the public link can work. If a local photo is visible in the card, it is naturally present inside that published rendered PNG.

Treat a published link as public

Anyone with the URL can open or forward it. Initial share pages are unlisted and marked noindex, but that is not a confidentiality mechanism. Do not publish private, confidential or sensitive writing.

For the broader data-processing explanation, read the Write Urdu privacy policy.

How to delete a published link

The browser that publishes a card receives a private management token. The token is stored locally and is never placed in the public URL.

  1. After publishing, use Delete published link from the success dialog if you want to remove it immediately.
  2. Later, open Card Studio and choose Manage published links to see links managed by this browser.
  3. Choose Delete for the relevant link. Removing the public snapshot does not delete your separate local Card Studio project.

If you clear site storage or move to another device, the locally held management token may no longer be available. Use the contact page or the public page's Report action if an item needs attention and self-service deletion is unavailable.

Questions about public Urdu sharing

These answers describe the first Write Urdu public-sharing release.

Do I need an account?

No. Card Studio can publish a public share link without signing in.

Does Write Urdu upload everything I type?

No. Normal writing and Card Studio work stay local. Uploading happens only when you explicitly publish the selected snapshot.

Will the shared page appear in Google Search?

The first version marks user-created /s/… pages noindex and keeps them out of the site's sitemap and discovery feeds. The separate guide you are reading is indexable.

Can I still download the image without publishing?

Yes. Download PNG and Share image only remain separate local/file actions.

Can I edit a published link after changing my card?

No. The first version treats each publication as an immutable snapshot. Editing the local project does not silently change an existing public link; publishing the changed card creates another snapshot.

Why does the published image say Write-Urdu.com?

The small footer provides provenance and a route back to the tool. It is deliberately subordinate to the user's writing.

Can I reuse text from somebody else's link?

The Use this text action can start a new local project from public text. You are still responsible for authorship, copyright and any permission needed to reuse someone else's writing.

What if a shared page contains private or inappropriate material?

Use the Report action on that public page. The original publishing browser also has a separate token-based deletion mechanism.

Create an Urdu card and give it a shareable link

Your normal project stays local until you choose to publish the finished snapshot.
