How to use an HTML viewer online

An online HTML viewer helps when a local file needs to be opened by other people. Instead of sending raw code or screenshots, publish the page as a preview URL that keeps the review focused on the browser experience.

Steps

1

Prepare the file or folder

Use a single HTML file for simple pages, or a ZIP folder when the viewer needs CSS, JavaScript, images, or fonts.

2

Create the online preview

Publish the static files with HTMLShare to create a browser-accessible preview link.

3

Review and share

Open the link, check desktop and mobile behavior, then send it to the people who need to inspect the page.

Practical tips

  • Viewer pages are ideal for review and testing, not final canonical websites.
  • Use index.html as the entry point for multi-file projects.
  • Send one preview URL instead of a folder of assets.
  • Use a new preview when you need reviewers to compare versions.

Turn the HTML into a link

HTMLShare publishes static HTML files and ZIP projects as browser preview links, so reviewers can open the page without downloading files or running a local server.
