Answers beforeyou hit Drop It

No. You can publish as a guest and share a link immediately. Sign in when you want permanent pages, custom slugs, version history, analytics, and other account features.

Most drops go live in under three seconds: paste HTML or Markdown, preview it, then click Drop It. The editor is at /drop — no setup required.

Anonymous pages expire after 24 hours. You'll get a claim token when you publish so you can sign in later and move the page to your account before it expires.

Sign in (email or GitHub) and claim the page from your dashboard or the claim flow after publishing. Once claimed, the page stays on your account under your plan limits.

Guests get a random slug and a 24-hour link. Signed-in users get permanent pages, custom /p/your-name slugs, version history, embed snippets, analytics, API access, and more — all free during early access.

Yes. HTMLDrop serves static HTML that runs client-side JavaScript like any normal static host. Server-side code (Node, Python APIs, etc.) will not run.

Usually yes — link to public CDNs with absolute URLs in your HTML. If a CDN is blocked or unavailable, styles may fall back gracefully depending on your markup.

Yes. Switch to Markdown mode in the editor, paste .md content, and HTMLDrop compiles it on publish using GFM plugins, sanitization, and a styled page template. The live URL serves the compiled HTML.

Yes — we're in early access and every feature is free right now. No credit card required. We'll announce pricing before anything changes.

During early access there are no feature gates or page limits enforced in the product. Future paid tiers will offer higher permanent page limits; we'll give plenty of notice before that happens.

Paid plans are coming after early access. Starter and Pro tiers will add higher page limits, custom domains, and advanced controls. Follow the blog or status page for updates.

Yes. Open the page from your dashboard or visit /drop/[slug] while signed in. Each publish creates a new version you can roll back to from version history.

Signed-in users can pick a custom /p/your-name slug when publishing. Guest drops receive a short random slug automatically.

Yes. Drag and drop an .html or .md file into the editor, or paste directly. The editor supports both formats with a live preview before you publish.

Don't host phishing pages, malware, illegal material, or content that impersonates other services. See our Terms of Service for the full acceptable-use policy.

Use the Report link on any hosted page or visit /report to submit a URL and reason. We review reports and may remove pages or suspend accounts without notice.

During early access, hosted pages at /p/ are not indexed by search engines — the platform sets noindex and blocks crawlers in robots.txt. Share your link directly with people who need it. Anonymous pages also expire after 24 hours. We plan to offer optional indexing in a future release.
