No Git. No build. No drama.

Sharing a preview should not require DevOps

Nobody should init a repo, configure DNS, and debug a pipeline just to show someone a webpage.

Git repos for a one-off preview?

Vercel and Netlify start with git push. For a client mockup, a class assignment, or a hackathon demo, that ceremony costs more time than the site itself.

Terminals exclude creators

Designers, students, and AI builders have finished HTML on their machine — not a CLI toolchain. They deserve hosting that meets them at drag & drop.

Drive links are not websites

Google Drive previews HTML as downloads or broken frames — no routing, no assets, no dignity. A real HTTPS URL renders the site as a site.

Built for AI coding workflows

Vibe-coded it? Ship it.

Your AI builder makes the website. Drops puts it on the internet. Download the HTML, drop it above, send the live URL.

Claude Artifacts

Download your artifact as HTML, drop it here, text the live link back.

Cursor

Export the prototype folder as a ZIP — no git push, no deploy config.

Lovable

Download the project, host the build, share a client preview in seconds.

v0

Copy the generated code into index.html and get a shareable URL instantly.

ChatGPT

Ask for a single-file site, save it, drop it — live before your coffee cools.

Hosting that just works

Real hosting, zero ceremony

Everything a Git-based host gives you — minus the repo, the CLI, and the config files.

Edge CDN

Global edge CDN with sub-50ms latency

Your site deploys to a worldwide edge network, so the preview loads instantly whether your client is next door or on another continent. No regions to pick, no caching headers to tune.

HTTPS

Automatic free SSL certificates

Every preview URL ships with HTTPS out of the box — and your custom domain gets it too, with renewals handled for you.

1-click password protection

Gate client previews and NDA work behind a password in one click. Share the link freely; only the right people get in.

Raw JS, CSS, WebGL, canvas & web components

Files are served exactly as built. Animations, Three.js scenes, games, and frameworks’ static output all run untouched.

How it works

ZIP to live site in four steps

About five seconds of your life, total.

1. Drag & drop ZIP or HTML

Any .zip, .html, or .tar.gz up to 50MB — from AI tools or your desktop.

2. Automatic extraction

The archive is inspected in your browser; index.html and assets are detected.

3. Get a live drops.sh link

Instant HTTPS preview on the global CDN. Open it, QR it, share it.

4. Claim & add your domain

Keep it online forever, add password gating, point your domain at it.

Free utility

Host a website without hosting the hassle

If it runs in a browser, it runs on Drops.

A ZIP to website converter takes the most universal artifact in web work — a folder of HTML, CSS, JS, and images — and skips every step between “it works on my machine” and “here’s the link.” Upload a ZIP and get a website link: Drops extracts the archive, finds your entry page, and serves the whole thing over HTTPS on an edge CDN.

It is the fastest way to host a single HTML file online free, share an HTML preview link with a client, or convert a ZIP to a live website without touching GitHub, the terminal, or a cloud console. Students submit live URLs instead of screenshots; designers send NDA-safe gated previews; AI builders ship v0 and Lovable output the same minute it is generated.

When a preview becomes permanent, claim it: connect a custom domain, keep it online forever, and manage it alongside static website hosting and free website hosting on Drops — or wrap client deliverables in a client portal and demo interactive builds with hosted product demos.

FAQ

ZIP to website questions, answered

Entry files, frameworks, limits, SSL, and how long links stay live.

It helps, but it is not required. Drops auto-detects index.html (or index.htm) as the entry point. If your archive has a differently named page — home.html, landing.html — the extractor picks the best HTML candidate and serves it at /. Single .html files work too: drop one and it is live instantly.
Yes. Export a static build (for example the dist/ or build/ folder from Vite, Create React App, or Vue CLI), zip it, and drop it here. Anything that compiles to plain HTML, CSS, and JS — including Three.js scenes, canvas games, and web components — runs on the global CDN with no server to configure.
Guest uploads support archives up to 50MB — plenty for landing pages, portfolios, prototypes, client previews, and most static builds. Larger asset-heavy sites can be hosted on a free Drops account with higher limits and a custom domain.
Your preview link goes live instantly on an app-preview subdomain. Claim it with a free account to keep it online forever, connect your own domain, and update the files behind the same URL. Unclaimed guest previews are temporary — claiming takes seconds and is free.
Yes — every site gets automatic free SSL on its instant subdomain, and on your custom domain once claimed. No certificate setup, no renewal cron jobs, no mixed-content warnings for standard static assets.
Yes. Toggle “Add Password Gate” in the tool above and visitors must enter your password before the site loads — ideal for WIP work shared under NDA. Remove the gate anytime without changing the link.
No. That is the entire point: no git init, no CLI installs, no YAML configs, no OAuth dance. Drag the file, get the link. When you are ready for a custom domain and permanent hosting, claiming an account is one click.
Fully supported. Drops serves your files as-is on a fast edge CDN, so raw JS, CSS animations, WebGL scenes, canvas games, and web components all run exactly as they do locally. If it opens from file:// or localhost, it will run on Drops.
