About HTMLpad

HTMLpad is the quickest way to put a single HTML page online. Paste or write your HTML, see it live as you type, and save it to get a link anyone can open.

It started years ago as a simple pad for learning HTML: every address was a page someone had written, and adding /edit to it opened the editor. That idea still works the same way today.

Who it is for

People learning HTML and CSS, people who want to share a quick demo, and anyone who has a page generated by an AI assistant as one HTML file and needs a link for it.

How long pads last

Free pads stay online for 90 days. If you leave your email, we send you the edit link and a reminder a week before your pad expires; saving the pad again resets the 90 days. Pads are not listed anywhere and are not indexed by search engines; only people with the link can find them.

The blog

The HTMLpad blog covers publishing HTML: how to host and share pages, how to open and edit HTML files, and when a single page should grow into a website.
