Upload Games to Website
To upload games to a website, first check whether the game is a static browser build. If it runs from index.html with JavaScript, CSS, images, audio, and asset folders, Host HTML File can turn that build into a playable preview link. It is a simple path for HTML5 games, portfolio demos, classroom projects, and quick playtests.

How to use upload games to website
- 1
Find the playable build
Use the exported web build, not editor project files. The upload should include index.html and the files it loads in the browser.
- 2
Zip multi-file games
If the game has folders for scripts, levels, images, sounds, fonts, or engine output, ZIP the full static build folder.
- 3
Upload and publish
Upload the HTML game or ZIP project and create a browser URL that opens the game page.
- 4
Test the website link
Play through the first level or core loop, check controls, confirm assets load, and make sure the canvas fits on common screen sizes.
What kind of games can be uploaded
Static HTML5 games are the best fit: Canvas games, WebGL exports, JavaScript games, puzzle prototypes, visual novels, and interactive demos that do not require a private server to boot.
Upload game files with assets
A game usually needs more than index.html. Include build scripts, sprites, audio, JSON level data, WASM files, and any engine folders exactly where the HTML expects them.
Preview link before public launch
Use the uploaded game link for testing and review. Move to production hosting or a game platform when the game needs a custom domain, store page, analytics, monetization, or a permanent audience.
Host HTML File vs other options
OptionBest forTradeoff
Host HTML File
Uploading static browser game builds and sharing playable review links quickly.
Focused on previews; it is not a full game portal, backend host, or store page.
Game platforms
Public release pages, community traffic, comments, ratings, and monetization.
Extra profile, metadata, and publishing steps when you only need someone to test the game.
Production web hosting
Permanent game websites with a custom domain, analytics, CI/CD, and launch workflows.
More setup than a quick playable link for review or a class project.
FAQ
How do I upload a game to a website?
Export the game as a static web build, upload index.html or a ZIP with all required assets, publish it, and share the generated link.
Can I upload games made with JavaScript?
Yes. JavaScript browser games work when the scripts and assets are included or referenced from public HTTPS URLs.
Why does my uploaded game show a blank screen?
A blank screen usually means a missing asset, wrong folder level, local file path, blocked resource, or source files were uploaded instead of the built web output.
Is this enough for a published game?
It is enough for a playable preview. Use production hosting or a game platform when you need a permanent public launch, backend features, analytics, or monetization.
