Free file hosting, no sign-up
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 advertisement on the page your reader lands on. Tiiny Host wants an account first, and keeps a free site up only while you log in at least once every three months. Here an anonymous file is hosted for 48 hours, or 30 days once you make a free account.
Drop your file here
Anyone with the link · images, audio, video, docs, text & data, or .zip
By uploading, you agree to our Terms and Data Processing Terms and confirm you have the right to share this content.
How free file hosting works here
Drop the file in
Drag any file onto the box above. No account step, no project to name and no card to add — the upload starts the moment you let go.
Take the link and the QR code
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.
Keep it longer if you need to
An anonymous file is hosted for 48 hours. A free account raises that to 30 days; paid plans host it until you take it down yourself.
What a visitor gets when they open the link
The file, with nothing in front of it
No interstitial, no countdown, no advertisement 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.
No account prompt on their side
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.
A hosting window that does not move
The window is set when you upload — 48 hours anonymously, 30 days on a free account — and it is not shortened because someone downloaded the file, or because you stopped logging in.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it really free with no sign-up?
- 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.
- Are there ads on the hosted file?
- No, on any plan. Nobody who opens your link meets an interstitial, a countdown or a banner. Hosting funded by advertising has to put that page between your visitor and the file; this one is funded by the paid plans instead.
- How long is the file hosted for?
- 48 hours with no account, 30 days with a free one, 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.
- How big a file can I host for free?
- Up to 30 MB per file with no account, and up to 50 MB signed in free. That covers most documents, images, audio and small archives. Larger files are a paid-plan feature.
- Can I host a web page, not just a file?
- 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.
