Online HTML Viewer Features

More than a preview window

📋 Copy & Paste

Markup copied from a CMS or an email template renders the moment it lands in the editor.

🛠️ Spot Problems Early

Broken layouts and unclosed tags show up in the preview before anyone else sees them.

⚙️️ JavaScript & CSS Compatible

Inline styles and scripts run in the preview, so interactive elements behave as they would on a live page.

🆓 Free

The viewer costs nothing and has no usage cap.

🕵️ Private

Nothing you paste into the editor is saved on our servers.

🔗 Share as a link

When the page is ready, publishing it on Tiiny Host gives you a link to send.

🔍 Drag & Drop a File

An .html file dropped onto Tiiny Host opens in the browser without any setup.

🌐 Custom Domain

Solo plans can publish the page on your own domain for client-facing work.

📊 Analytics

Once the page is published, its visitor numbers appear in your dashboard on Tiny and above.

📱 Embeddable

Published pages come with embed code for tutorials and documentation.

🔒 Password Protect

A password on the Solo plan limits a published page to the people you give it to.

Compared

How this viewer compares

CodePen and your browser's dev tools render HTML well enough for your own eyes. The difference here is that the page you've been previewing can become a link someone else can open.

Snippets and single pages weigh very little. The limits only start to count when a zipped site brings its own images and video along.

Agent friendly

Turn HTML into a live link from code or an AI agent

Chat assistants and coding agents hand back HTML constantly. Posting that file to the upload endpoint returns a public URL, and sending a PUT request for the same domain refreshes the page later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HTML viewer?

A tool that turns HTML code into the page it describes. This one shows the code and the rendered result side by side, updating as you edit.

What is HTML viewer used for?

Mostly for checking how markup renders before it goes anywhere, such as an email template you are about to send or a layout you are still building.

How do I see what my HTML code looks like?

Paste it into the editor at the top of this page. The right-hand pane shows the rendered page.

How can I view an HTML file online?

Copy the file contents into the editor above to preview it. To view it at a real web address, upload the file to Tiiny Host, which publishes it as a link that opens in any browser.

Can I open HTML on Chrome?

Yes. Double-clicking an .html file usually opens it in your default browser, and you can also drag the file into a Chrome tab. That view is only on your own computer, though, so nobody else can see it.

Is an HTML viewer free to use?

This one is. There's no account to create and no usage limit.

What types of HTML files can I view with this tool?

Any standard HTML document, HTML5 included, along with the CSS and JavaScript it contains. The viewer handles one page at a time, so for a multi-page site it's easier to upload the zipped folder to Tiiny Host and click through it at its own address.

Can I make changes to my HTML after uploading it?

Yes. On the Solo plan, published files open in Tiiny Host's online code editor, and saved changes appear at the same link. On any plan you can replace the file with a new upload.

Can I view HTML privately or restrict who has access?

Code in the viewer isn't saved on our servers. For a published page, Solo plans add password protection, and Tiny's analytics show how many visits it gets.

Can I embed my HTML in another website?

Yes. Every published page has embed code in its project menu, which you can paste into a blog post or a course page.

Do I need an account to use the HTML viewer?

No account is needed for the viewer. You'd only sign up, for free, to publish the HTML as a link.

How is this different from opening the file in my browser?

A local file is visible only on your computer, and editing it means switching between an editor and the browser. Here the code and the preview share one screen, and publishing makes the page available to anyone with the link.
