How do I host an HTML file for free?

Drag the .html file into the box on this page and name the link. Snapy stores it as index.html, so it loads at the root of your link. Publishing needs a free account with a confirmed email address, which is one code typed in once.

Can I host a whole static site or a zip?

Yes. Zip the folder and upload the zip, up to 400 files and 150MB unzipped. Your index.html loads first and relative paths to CSS, JavaScript, images and fonts keep working. If the zip has a single folder wrapping everything, that wrapper is stripped so the site is not served one level down.

Do I need Git, a terminal or a build step?

No. There is nothing to install and no deploy command. What Snapy will not do is run a build for you, so a React or Next.js project has to be built locally first and the built folder uploaded.

Will my page show up in Google?

Only if you ask for it. Every hosted page is noindex by default, and there is a per-link switch to make it findable. The switch is refused on a link with a password, an email gate or an expiry date, because search results outlive links like those.

Can I pick the link name and lock the page?

Yes. Choose a name like launch.snapy.page, and a password, an expiry date and a QR code are all on the free plan. Names that impersonate a bank, a wallet or a sign-in page are refused.

Can I run PHP, Node or a database?

No. Snapy serves static files, so HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and fonts run; anything needing a server does not. Calls from your page to an external API still work.

Add a passphrase

Mixed into the encryption key in your browser and never sent to Snapy. The link on its own stops being enough, so tell them the passphrase some other way, by voice, or in a different app. If they type it wrong, the secret is destroyed, so allow 2 opens if you use one.

🔒 Snapy cannot read it. The key is in the link, never on the server. Opening it deletes it. Lose the link and the secret is gone for good.

What happens to your file when you upload it?

Drag your .html file into the box above, or a .zip of the whole site.
Name the link if you want one. launch gives you launch.snapy.page.
Type the code that arrives by email. That happens once per address, not per file.
The page is live. Send the link anywhere; whoever opens it needs nothing installed.

A single HTML file is stored as index.html, so it loads at the root of the link rather than at some path you have to remember.

What are the limits?

	Free	Pro
One file, up to	150MB	150MB
A zip, up to	400 files / 150MB unzipped	400 files / 150MB unzipped
Live links at a time	1	Unlimited
Storage	1 GB	50 GB
Custom link name, password, expiry, QR code	Yes	Yes
Your own domain	No	Yes

Uploads are also capped at 20 an hour and 100 a day per device, which is an anti-abuse limit rather than a plan limit.

Can you upload a zip as a whole site?

Upload a zip and each file is unpacked to its own path, so index.html, style.css, app.js and /img/logo.png all sit where your HTML expects them. Two details worth knowing:

A single wrapping folder is stripped. Zipping a folder usually produces mysite/index.html. Snapy notices that everything sits under one directory and removes it, so the site is not served one level down.
Clean URLs work. A request for /about is answered with /about/index.html if that file exists.

Files a browser cannot use are skipped rather than published: what is kept is .html, .htm, .css, .js, .mjs, .json, .xml, .map, .txt, .md, .csv, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp, .svg, .ico, .woff, .woff2, .ttf and .pdf. If a zip contains none of those, the upload is refused instead of publishing an empty link.

What will it not do?

Worth knowing before you start, because none of it is fixable by uploading differently:

No server-side code. Static files only: no PHP, no Node, no Python, no database. Your page can still call an external API from the browser.
No build step. A React, Vue, Svelte or Next.js project has to be built on your machine first; upload the dist, build or out folder as a zip.
No catch-all route. An unknown path returns 404 rather than falling back to your index.html, so a single-page app with client-side routes works when people land on the root, but a deep link into a client route will not. Hash routing, or exporting a real page per route, both work.
A bare .svg upload is refused, because an SVG opens as a page and can carry script. An SVG inside a zip is served normally, as part of a site.

Will search engines index your page?

Every hosted page is sent with noindex until the owner turns on "findable in search" for that link. The switch is refused on a link that has a password, an email gate or an expiry date: a search result can easily outlive a link like that, and a dead result is worse than no result.

Why does publishing ask for an email code?

Hosting a page anonymously is what phishing wants, so Snapy does not offer it. A code typed from a real inbox is what stands between a snapy.page address and being used for someone else's login screen, and it is why link names containing terms like login, verify, wallet or a bank's name are refused outright. See the acceptable use policy for what is and is not allowed, and the report link that sits on every hosted page.

Confirming an address takes one code, once. Nobody you send the link to is asked for anything.

What do people host on it?

Landing and coming-soon pages, portfolios and resumes, prototypes and demos, HTML5 games, small calculators and converters, event invites, and pages generated by an AI tool.
