Why DocPin
Why not just attach the file?
An HTML file is a web page that hasn't been put on the web yet. Attaching it or dropping it in a shared drive leaves that job to your reader.
An attachment is a download
Your reader has to save it and open it from their downloads. On a phone it often won't open at all, and images or scripts next to it go missing.
Shared drives show the code
Most file shares preview an .html file as text, or ask people to download it, instead of showing the page.
Web hosting is a whole setup
Hosts built for websites want an account, a deploy and usually a public site. DocPin is for the single pages you send people.
About thirty seconds
Publish an HTML file
Everything happens in the DocPin app. No build step, no settings to learn.
Sign in
Use Google or your email at docpin.app. Your workspace is yourname.docpin.it.
Add page
Click Add page → Upload a file, then drop an .html file, a folder or a .zip.
Choose who opens it
Anyone with the link, a secret link, or on Pro a password or specific people.
Send the link
Copy it from the page. Drop an edited file on the same page later to update it.
Up to 25 MB and 1,000 files per page. A .zip needs an index.html at the top, or inside one folder. A folder of one HTML file and its images works too.
What you can upload
If it opens in a browser, it works
DocPin serves your files exactly as they are, so scripts, styles, fonts and images all work.
Live at its own link straight away. The page title becomes the page name.
Images, CSS, JavaScript and fonts next to it load as normal, including /assets paths.
Zip the build folder of a Vite, React or similar app and upload it. The page runs your app.
Libraries load from their CDN, and pages can fetch your own APIs. Page data updates numbers without a re-upload.
What your reader gets
A real page, under your name
Your page opens like any other web page: full screen, on any device, with its scripts and styles working. No download, no file to open.
A link like yours
Your workspace name and a page name you choose. Free.
Or your own domain
Point a subdomain at DocPin and every page lives there. Pro.
Only the right people
Specific emails, a whole company, or a password. Pro.
Versions and views
Every update keeps the link and the history. See when it's opened.

Questions
DocPin for HTML files, answered
What can I upload?
One .html file, several files, a folder or a .zip, up to 25 MB and 1,000 files. A .zip needs an index.html at the top level or inside a single folder. If there's no index.html but exactly one .html file, that one opens.
Does JavaScript work?
Yes. Each page runs as a normal web page on its own address, so scripts, CDN libraries, fonts and calls to your own APIs work. Pages can't read your DocPin account or other pages.
How do I update a page?
Open the page in DocPin and upload the new file as a new version. The link stays the same and every earlier version is kept, so you can restore one any time.
Can I publish without the app?
Yes. Publish from Claude or ChatGPT by asking, or from the command line and CI with an API key.
What does it cost?
DocPin is free for 3 pages, with a small DocPin badge. Pro is $8 a month for unlimited pages, your own domain, passwords and people-only pages.
