How to add a hyperlink to an object or text in Powtoon

You can attach a hyperlink to any object or text in your Powtoon so that viewers can click it and open a website or landing page. The link is active in the Powtoon player whether the Powtoon is playing or paused.

Note: Hyperlinks are clickable only in the Powtoon player. They are not active in exported video files (MP4 files).

Adding a hyperlink to an object or text

To add a hyperlink to an object or text element in Powtoon Studio, follow these steps:

1. On the stage, select the object or text element you want to link.
2. Click Settings in the toolbar that appears above or beside the selected element.
3. Click Link in the Settings panel.
4. Type the full URL (Uniform Resource Locator — the web address) you want to link to in the field provided.
   ► Include the full address, starting with https://, to ensure the link opens correctly.
5. Click Apply. The hyperlink is now attached to the selected object or text.

How the hyperlink behaves in the player

Once you have added a hyperlink to an object or text, the link is active in the Powtoon player both when the Powtoon is playing and when it is paused. Viewers can click the linked element at any point during playback to open the destination URL in their browser.

Note: Hyperlinks do not carry over to exported MP4 files. If your goal is to share a clickable link with viewers, publish your Powtoon and share the player link rather than the exported file.
