HTML file to link

What happens to your file

The file is sent over HTTPS to the HTMLtoLink storage network (the backend this site shares with htmltolink.dev), saved under your Google account, and served from its own subdomain. The server sends it with the correct text/html type, which is the part a plain file-sharing service gets wrong: on Google Drive or Dropbox an .html file is offered as a download or shown as source code, not rendered as a page.

If your file is named something other than index.html, that is fine — a single HTML file always becomes the start page of its link.

When a single file is not enough

Look inside your HTML for lines like <link href="style.css">, <script src="app.js"> or <img src="images/logo.png">. Those point at other files next to the HTML. Upload only the HTML and those references break — the page shows unstyled text and empty image boxes.

The fix is to upload everything together: drop the whole folder, or zip it first and drop the ZIP. See ZIP to link and the broken images guide.

Size and file types

Free links take up to 2 MB per link — far more than a typical hand-written page (most are under 100 KB). Accepted uploads: .html, .htm, .zip, or a folder with up to 1,000 files. Fonts, SVG, images, JSON, video and audio inside a folder or ZIP are all served with the right content type.
