How it compares
Five popular ways to host a single HTML file — plus what makes sharable.link different.
sharable.link — the easiest way to share HTML from Claude, Codex, and other AI agents
The other tools below all assume you upload a file by hand. sharable.link is the only one with a built-in MCP server and Claude skill: your AI shares the HTML for you in one command — no file picker, no browser switch, no copy-paste.
- One command in Claude/Cursor/Cline:
/sharepublishes and returns the URL. - Password protection built in — set or remove on any page.
- Update without changing the URL — edit content, keep the link.
- Free with a free account. 5 MB per file.

FAQ
Can I host an HTML file for free?
Yes. sharable.link lets you publish a single HTML file as a public web page for free. Publishing needs a free account — sign in with Google or Microsoft, drop the file at the top of this page, and you get a clean public URL in seconds. Anyone you send the link to opens it without an account.
How do I host an HTML file without a server?
Use a static-file host. Drop the file on sharable.link (free and instant, with a free account), or use Netlify Drop, GitHub Pages, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or CodePen. Each method is compared below.
What's the fastest way to share an HTML file?
Sign in with Google or Microsoft, drag-and-drop a single .html file onto sharable.link, and you get a shareable public link in about 5 seconds. No setup, no Git. For AI-generated HTML, the Claude connector is even faster — Claude publishes the file to your account with one command.
Can I password-protect a shared HTML page?
Yes. After publishing a file on sharable.link, toggle 'Add password protection' and set a password. Anyone visiting the link will see a password form before they can view the page.
How long do hosted files stay online?
Pages you upload here stay live until you unpublish them: uploading needs an account, so every page has an owner and a dashboard entry rather than an expiry date. Older uploads published anonymously are the exception — nobody owns them, so permanence isn't guaranteed and they're removed with the delete key you got at the time.
