Open an HTML file as a page.
No account, nothing uploaded.
Drop the .html file in or paste the code. Your browser draws the page right here; nothing leaves it until you ask for a link.
Drop the .html file here
or paste the code with Ctrl+V
One document up to 1 MB. Styles and scripts inside it run. Pictures from a folder next to it do not travel.
How it works
Open the file
Drop the .html file on the zone, choose it with the button, or paste the code. Your browser draws the page at once.
Look at it
Switch to Phone to see it at a phone's width, or to Source to read and change the code. Open in a full window shows the page alone in a new tab.
Send it, if you need to
Press "Send it as a link" and the page gets an address that anyone can open for 24 hours. Until you press it, nothing leaves your browser.
Why an HTML file opens as code
An HTML file is text with markup in it. A browser reads the markup and draws the page. A mail app, a messenger or a phone's file preview often shows the text itself, because it opens the file as a document to read rather than a page to draw. The file is fine: it needs a browser.
Here your browser draws it for you. One thing does not come along: pictures and styles the file takes from a folder next to it stay on the computer it came from, so they show as gaps.
When you need a link
Looking needs no link. A link is for when someone else has to see the page: a client, a colleague, a phone where the file opens as code. Press "Send it as a link" here, or paste the code into Publish HTML to edit it beside the preview. Either way the address opens for 24 hours, and keeping the page in your account gives it a permanent one.
What people open this page for
Open an HTML file someone sent you
Drop the file in to read it as a page, without saving it to a downloads folder and finding a browser to open it.
