PasteHTML Alternatives: 9 Ways to Paste HTML and Get a Link

If you searched for PasteHTML or htmlpaste, you probably want what those sites used to do: paste some HTML, press a button and get a link that opens it as a real web page. Neither does that any more. Here's what happened to them, and the tools that do the job today.

A note before we start: we make htmlhost, one of the tools below. We've tried to describe every option fairly, including where another tool is the better fit. Details were checked against each service's own website on 31 October 2026. Plans change, so check the current limits before you rely on one.

The short answer

• Paste HTML and get a link you can keep editing: htmlhost or HTMLPUT.
• Paste a small snippet with nothing to set up: HTMLSave.
• A one-page site with a short address: paste.page.
• Build and publish pages with AI, inside a paid plan: HTML Pub.
• Share a file, ZIP or PDF: Tiiny Host or htmlhost.
• Show the code itself, not just the page: CodePen or JSFiddle.
• A project that already lives in Git: GitHub Pages or Netlify.

What happened to PasteHTML and htmlpaste.com?

PasteHTML.com was the classic way to do this: paste HTML into a box and get a hosted page back. The paste service is gone. The address now shows an unrelated website, and old PasteHTML links no longer open the pages they used to. Don't paste anything there.

htmlpaste.com is a parked domain with a notice that it may be for sale. There's no tool there.

Both still turn up in searches because people remember them. If you had pages on either, the lesson is the same whichever tool you use next: keep your own copy of the HTML, and prefer a host that lets you download your files.

What to check before you choose

Every tool below turns HTML into a link. They differ in what happens after that:

• Does the link last? Some links expire, some services remove pages when you stop paying, and some keep them until you delete them.
• Can you fix a mistake without changing the link? If you've already sent it to a client or a class, the fix should appear at the same address.
• How much can you paste? A long page written by an AI tool, with all its CSS and JavaScript inline, is bigger than you might expect. Character and file-size limits matter.
• What about images? Pasted text can't carry the images saved on your computer. Look for a way to upload a folder or ZIP.
• Is there branding on the page? Free plans often add a small banner to pay for the hosting.
• Who can open it? A link is public to anyone who has it. For a private page, look for password protection.
• Can you take your files with you? PasteHTML is the reason to care about this one.

The alternatives, one by one

1. htmlhost (our tool)

htmlhost is built for exactly this. Paste HTML into the box on the Paste HTML page and the editor opens a live preview straight away, with no account needed. Check it at computer and phone sizes and fix anything by clicking the text, editing the code or describing the change to the AI. Then press Publish, sign in for free with Google, GitHub or your email, and the page goes live at its own address, like spring-menu.htmlhost.co.

Good for: pages you'll keep working on, because every update appears at the same link. Sites never expire by default. You can optionally set a site to expire after 1 day, 7 days or 30 days. You can also drop a whole folder or ZIP with its images, build several pages, connect forms to your inbox and download everything as a ZIP whenever you like.

Keep in mind: a free account includes 3 site creations in total. Pages on the free plan show a small "Hosted free on htmlhost.co" bar at the bottom, which Pro or a connected custom domain removes. Password protection and version history are Pro features. It hosts HTML, CSS and browser JavaScript, not PHP or other server code.

2. HTMLPUT

HTMLPUT is a dedicated paste-and-share service. Paste HTML, CSS and JavaScript, often straight from an AI chat, or upload a ZIP or folder, and you get a link served from a CDN. A Chrome extension shares HTML from the browser toolbar.

Good for: sharing quickly with a link that, according to its FAQ, keeps working until you delete the page. Pages can have an optional access password.

Keep in mind: you need an account to share. The free plan is light on storage: 30 MB in total, with ZIP uploads of up to 3 MB and 5 files. Its Plus, Pro and Ultra plans raise those limits.

3. HTMLSave

HTMLSave is a simple paste box. Drag in a file or paste your code, optionally choose a name for the address and a password for editing later, then submit. Besides HTML it hosts CSS, JavaScript, JSON and text files, and it has a browser extension.

Good for: small experiments and snippets, with nothing to set up.

Keep in mind: its homepage says an index.html can hold up to 30,000 characters, and other files up to 15,000 each. That's plenty for a snippet, but a long AI-written page with everything inline can go past it. Some features, such as making a site private, need its premium plan.

4. paste.page

paste.page describes itself as simple hosting for one-page websites. Paste your code or upload your files, pick a name, and the page goes live at paste.page/your-name.

Good for: a single page with a short, readable address.

Keep in mind: it's designed around one-page sites, and pages live under paste.page's own address. Check its pricing page for what the free plan includes.

5. HTML Pub

HTML Pub calls itself an AI website and landing page builder. You can paste HTML, drop a file, generate a page from a prompt or publish from an AI tool through its MCP connector, and it adds checkout, forms, analytics and blogs on top.

Good for: landing pages and small shops that need payments and integrations built in, and people who want to keep building with AI.

Keep in mind: the free plan is for designing and previewing. Publishing a page live needs a paid plan, and pages stay live while you're subscribed.

6. Tiiny Host

Tiiny Host is a drag-and-drop host: upload an HTML file, a ZIP or a PDF and get a link. That makes it handy for sharing documents as well as pages.

Good for: people who have a file rather than code on their clipboard, and anyone who also shares PDFs.

Keep in mind: at the time of writing, its free plan keeps one live project at a time and shows a Tiiny Host banner. Paid plans lift the limits and add custom domains.

7. Netlify Drop

Netlify Drop lets you drag a folder onto the page and get a live address on Netlify, a full hosting platform.

Good for: a folder you've built on your computer, especially if the project will grow into Netlify's Git deploys, functions and build tools.

Keep in mind: there's no paste box, so you need your HTML saved as files in a folder. If you aren't logged in, the site is temporary: you have about an hour to claim it into a free Netlify account. Updates mean uploading the folder again or setting up a Git workflow.

8. CodePen and JSFiddle

These are code playgrounds. You write HTML, CSS and JavaScript in separate panes and see the result beside them, and sharing the link shares both.

Good for: asking for help with code, demonstrating a technique, or letting others fork and remix your work.

Keep in mind: they're built to show code. The result runs inside the playground's own frame and interface, which isn't the same as giving someone a web page at its own address. CodePen does offer a full-page view of a Pen.

9. GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages publishes a website from a GitHub repository, for free, at an address like username.github.io/project.

Good for: projects that already live in Git, documentation and open-source sites.

Keep in mind: it isn't a paste tool. You create a repository, add your files and switch Pages on in its settings, and every change is a new commit. We walked through the steps in htmlhost vs GitHub Pages vs Netlify Drop.

Not quite the same thing

Pastebin and GitHub Gist share code as text. Whoever opens the link sees your HTML, not the page it makes. They're the right choice when the code is the point, and the wrong one when you want someone to click through a design.

At a glance

Which one should you use?

• You have HTML from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and want people to use it: paste it into a host that shows the real page, then open the link on your phone before sharing. Our guide to publishing AI-generated HTML covers blank pages, missing images and forms.
• You'll send the link to a client or a class: choose a tool where edits keep the same link and the page stays online until you decide otherwise.
• The page should disappear after a review: give it a short lifetime. On htmlhost you can set a page to expire after 1 day, 7 days or 30 days; see temporary pages for demos and tests.
• You're asking a question about the code: a playground like CodePen is the better fit, because people can read and change the code.
• You're putting a website with several pages online: upload the whole folder so the images and stylesheets come with it. How to host an HTML file walks through it.

How to paste HTML and get a link on htmlhost

1. Copy your complete HTML, from <!doctype html> to </html>. If it came from an AI chat, leave out the ``` fences around it.
2. Open Paste HTML and paste it into the box. The editor opens with a live preview.
3. Check it at phone and computer sizes and make any changes. Press Publish, sign in, then copy the link and share it.

Give the page a <title> before you publish. It names the browser tab, and htmlhost uses it for the page's address.

Questions people ask

Is PasteHTML still working?

No. PasteHTML.com no longer offers its paste service, its old links no longer open the original pages, and the address now shows an unrelated website. htmlpaste.com is a parked domain. Use one of the tools above instead.

Can I get a link for my HTML without an account?

Some tools allow it. HTMLSave's steps don't include signing up, and Netlify Drop works without logging in for about an hour. On htmlhost you can paste, preview and edit without an account, then sign in for free when you publish, so the page has an owner who can update or remove it. HTMLPUT asks you to sign in before you share.

Do the links expire?

It depends on the tool. htmlhost pages never expire unless you choose a lifetime. HTMLPUT's FAQ says links work until you delete the page. HTML Pub keeps pages live while you're subscribed, and an unclaimed Netlify Drop site lasts about an hour.

Why are my images missing after I paste?

Pasted HTML is only text. Images linked by a full https:// address appear, but a path like images/photo.jpg points to a file on your computer that never left it. Upload the whole folder or a ZIP instead, or add the images in the editor after you paste.

Is it safe to paste my HTML into these sites?

Treat anything you publish as public. Anyone with the link can open the page and read its source, whichever service hosts it. Never put passwords, private API keys or personal details in a page's HTML.
