html2.link and Other HTML-to-Link Tools Compared
HTML To Link (https://htmlto.link) is still operating. Upload an HTML file, folder, or ZIP, or paste code, and you get one public link. Publishing again keeps that same link. Guest links last 24 hours. Free pages created after sign-in last 3 days. html2.link is another site that is still operating. It fits pasting a block of HTML, and it offers a WeChat mini program and a long-lived URL.
html2.link
html2.link is still operating. It is for pasting a block of HTML, including a page written by an AI assistant. It offers a WeChat mini program, a long-lived URL, CDN delivery, and automatic renewal.
HTML To Link is for a file, a folder, or a ZIP. Updating the page keeps the same public link, and the page can take a password.
The tools at a glance
All of these get a static page online. The differences are in workflow and what happens after you publish.
- HTML To Link (htmlto.link): paste code, or upload a file, folder, or ZIP; guest publishing without an account; English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese; republish and the share URL stays the same
- EdgeOne Pages: ranks for “html to link”. Compare it on pasted code, folder upload, ZIP, and whether an update keeps the same link
- htmltourl.com: the other product result next to EdgeOne. Use the same four checks: paste, folder, ZIP, and same-URL updates
- Tiiny.host: drag-and-drop hosting with a free tier and paid limits; account-based management with analytics features
- GitHub Pages: free and permanent, but built around a repository and Git pushes for every change
- Netlify Drop: drag a folder to deploy instantly, with a free account required to keep sites manageable
Which one fits which job
For a one-off demo or an AI-generated landing page where you just need a link in the next minute, the paste-and-publish converters (HTML To Link, HTMLToURL) are the fastest path.
For a page you will keep updating with clients reviewing the same URL, check how each tool handles republishing — HTML To Link keeps the same public link across updates, which saves you from resending URLs.
For a site you treat as a project with version history, GitHub Pages or Netlify give you more infrastructure at the cost of a repository-and-deploy workflow.
What to check before choosing a tool
Four questions separate the tools faster than any feature table.
- Does the share URL stay the same when you update the page, or does every edit create a new link?
- Can you publish a whole folder or ZIP with relative CSS, JS, and image paths intact — not just a single file?
- Do guest (no-account) uploads exist, and how long do those links live?
- Is the tool a static host only, or does it also give you an editor and viewer for last-minute changes?
Switching between tools is cheap
Because all of these services host plain static files, moving is a re-upload, not a migration. Publish wherever the current job is fastest — the real lock-in is your content, and that travels with you.
FAQ
Is there a free HTMLToURL alternative?
Yes. HTML To Link (htmlto.link) pastes HTML or uploads a file, folder, or ZIP and returns a public link. Updates keep that same link. The interface is English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
Which HTML to URL converter is fastest?
For pasted single-file HTML, most converters are about the same: paste, click publish, copy the link. Differences appear with multi-file sites, where folder and ZIP support (and keeping the same link on updates) matters more than raw speed.
Can these tools host a full folder, not just one file?
HTML To Link, Tiiny.host, GitHub Pages, and Netlify all support multi-file static sites with relative asset paths. Single-file-only converters will break CSS and images on a folder-based site.
Do links from free HTML hosting expire?
It depends on the tool and the account. On HTML To Link, a guest link lasts 24 hours, and a free page created after sign-in lasts 3 days. Tiiny.host's free tier has time limits, and GitHub Pages links persist as long as the repository does.
