HTML hosting

Paste HTML, run client-side JavaScript, use CDN assets, and publish static pages.

Last updated May 28, 2026

HTML mode stores and serves your markup as provided — subject to validation, size limits, and automated moderation.

Publishing HTML

  1. Open /drop and ensure HTML mode is selected
  2. Paste code or upload an .html file
  3. Preview in the split pane
  4. Click Drop It

Your page is served at /p/[slug] as static HTML.

JavaScript support

Hosted pages execute client-side JavaScript in the visitor's browser — the same model as Netlify Drop or GitHub Pages static hosting.

What works:

  • DOM manipulation, event handlers, client-side routing
  • Fetch calls to external APIs (subject to CORS)
  • Chart libraries, animation frameworks, and interactive demos

What does not work:

  • Server-side Node, Python, PHP, or database code
  • Environment secrets embedded in published HTML (never publish API keys)

Pages are public by default. Do not paste credentials, private keys, or personal data you are not authorized to share.

External CSS and fonts

Link to public CDNs with absolute URLs:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss@2/dist/tailwind.min.css" />
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />

If a CDN is unreachable, styles may not load — test in the preview before sharing.

Validation and moderation

Before publish, HTML passes:

  • Size limits — oversized payloads are rejected
  • Structure validation — malformed input returns an error
  • Moderation scan — known abuse patterns are blocked

See Security for the full trust model.

Editing after publish

Signed-in users can reopen a page from the dashboard or visit /drop/[slug] to edit and re-publish. Each publish creates a new version you can roll back to.
