Hosting a file here is free and needs no sign-up: drop it in, and you get a public link and a QR code straight away, with no third-party advertising on the page your reader lands on, just a small uploadthefile.com bar that the paid plans remove. Tiiny Host also lets you publish without an account, but that link comes down after 15 minutes unless you claim it with an email, and a free site then stays up only while you log in at least once every three months. Here an anonymous file stays up for 48 hours, and a free account keeps it online until you go 3 months without signing in.
Any supported file works. Documents: PDF · DOCX · XLSX · PPTX · EPUB · TXT · MD · ODT · ODS · ODP · ODG · OTT · OTS · OTP · OTG · ODM · ODC · ODF · ODB
Drag any file onto the box above. There is no account step, no project to name and no card to add. The upload starts the moment you let go.
The file is hosted at its own short URL. You get the link and a QR code for it, both free on every plan, and neither is behind a sign-up form.
An anonymous file is hosted for 48 hours. A free account keeps it online until you go 3 months without signing in; paid plans keep it up until you take it down yourself.
No interstitial, no countdown, no third-party advertising before the download. Free hosting is usually paid for by the page your visitor has to sit through first; here the link goes straight to the file, on every plan including this one. A free or anonymous link carries one small uploadthefile.com bar at the foot of the page, and the paid plans take that off too.
Whoever opens the link is not asked to register, install anything or request access. That matters more than it sounds: a share fails far more often because the recipient met a sign-in wall than because the file was too big.
The window is set when you upload: 48 hours anonymously, or on a free account until you go 3 months without signing in. It is not shortened because someone downloaded the file, or because you stopped logging in.
Yes. Drop a file in and it is hosted at a public link. No email address, no password, no card. An account is optional: it extends how long the file stays up and unlocks extras such as password protection.
No third-party ads, on any plan. Nobody who opens your link meets an interstitial, a countdown or somebody else's advert. Free and anonymous links do carry one small uploadthefile.com bar at the foot of the page; the paid plans remove it. Hosting funded by advertising has to put a whole page between your visitor and the file, and this one is funded by the paid plans instead.
48 hours with no account; with a free account, until you go 3 months without signing in; and until you delete it on a paid plan. The window is set at upload and is not cut short by downloads, by traffic, or by you not logging in.
Up to 10 MB per file with no account, and up to 20 MB signed in free. That covers most documents, images, audio and small archives. Larger files are a paid-plan feature.
Yes. Drop in an HTML file, or a ZIP of static assets, and it is served as a page rather than a download, still with no sign-up. There is no build step and no server-side runtime, so static sites only.
Publishing a page rather than a file? Put HTML online without signing up. Only need it briefly? Temporary file hosting with no account.
