FAQ

How do I embed a Buttondown newsletter on my website?

Paste a public Buttondown archive URL into the tool and click Generate. You will get a ready-to-paste preview card linking back to the issue.

Does Buttondown have a native iframe embed?

Buttondown does not offer a per-issue iframe embed. We generate a styled preview card from the public archive page so you can still share the issue inline.

Can I embed a single issue or the whole archive?

Both. Paste a single issue URL like buttondown.com/username/archive/issue-slug/, or the archive index URL to link to the newsletter as a whole.

What if the newsletter issue is private or subscriber-only?

Issues gated to subscribers are not publicly readable, so the tool falls back to a basic preview card with whatever metadata is available.

Is the Buttondown embed generator free?

Yes — 50 requests per day, no login, no credit card.
