How to make a website with AI for free and publish it
Ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for an HTML file, then drop it (up to 10 MB) or a ZIP (up to 25 MB) on ship.page for a free website, no signup. Folders and pasted HTML work too, and free links stay online for 30 days without an account or 90 days when you claim them.
A file. A folder. A fresh start.
Your static site, one link away.
Uploading publishes your file. The link is public but unlisted, not password-protected, so leave out secrets and confidential content.

From a chat prompt to a live link in four steps
Copy the prompt below into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
Open your preferred chat assistant and paste the prompt from this page, replacing the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Ask for one self-contained index.html file
Tell the assistant to put all CSS and JavaScript inside a single HTML code block so there are no broken links to missing stylesheets. Copy the finished code or save it on your computer as index.html.
Paste the HTML or drop the file onto ship.page
Paste your code straight into the box on this page, or drag in your index.html file, a folder, or a .zip up to 25 MB. You do not need an account or a credit card.
Share your live HTTPS link or QR code
Your site goes live in seconds on its own subdomain over HTTPS, and the success screen gives you a downloadable PNG QR code. The link stays up for 30 days as a guest, or 90 days if you sign in with Google or an email link to claim it.
Prompt for a complete one-page website in one HTML file
Prompt
Write a complete, one-page website for [business or person] as a single self-contained index.html file. Include these sections in order: [sections, e.g. hero with headline and call-to-action button, three service cards, pricing table, FAQ accordion, and contact footer with email link]. Requirements: - Put all CSS inside a <style> tag and all JavaScript inside a <script> tag in the same index.html file. - Design mobile-first so it reads cleanly on phones and scales up to desktop screens. - Use accessible color contrast that passes WCAG AA, clear readable system fonts, and generous spacing. - Use no external images or external icon libraries. Build all illustrations, icons, and decorative backgrounds with CSS shapes or inline SVG. - Output only the raw HTML code inside one code block so I can copy or save it directly as index.html.
Replace the bracketed notes with your own details, paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then paste the HTML output into ship.page.

What are the two ways to make a website with AI for free?
You can use an AI website builder that includes hosting, or a chat assistant like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini that writes the HTML for free.
Builder free plans come with strings attached: Wix adds ads to your site, Framer calls its free plan ideal for non-commercial use, Durable only shows a private preview, and Hostinger Website Builder only offers a 14-day free trial.
A chat assistant gives you the complete code for free with no platform lock-in. You can publish a ChatGPT website, publish a Claude artifact, or publish a Gemini Canvas app on ship.page in seconds with no signup and no bandwidth cap.
How to get clean HTML from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
Ask for one self-contained index.html file: when CSS and JavaScript live inside the same file, you can paste the code directly or drop a single file without worrying about broken folder paths.
If you want multiple pages or your own photos, put everything in a folder or a .zip file with index.html at the root. A ZIP with a single top folder is unwrapped automatically, and ship.page accepts up to 100 files and 25 MB zipped (100 MB unpacked) on the free tier.
- Ask for inline SVG or CSS shapes instead of external image URLs that might break.
- Save multi-page links as /about.html, or put an index.html inside an about/ folder to use /about/.
- Use hash routes like #/pricing if your AI wrote a single-page React or Vue app.
- Zip folders larger than roughly 7 MB of files, since browser folder uploads cap at one 10 MB request.
Tip: If you only have a PDF, image or video file, ask the AI to write a simple index.html wrapper for it and upload both inside a folder or ZIP.
What works on ship.page, and when should you upgrade?
You can turn any HTML code into a website as long as it uses static files only: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, audio, video, WebAssembly and JSON. Server code like PHP, Node.js, Python, databases and WordPress will not run, so contact forms on a free landing page or free personal website need a third-party form service.
Free pages show a small "Hosted on ship.page" badge that visitors can close, and updating a free page means a new upload with a new link.
To keep your site online for good, or keep the same URL when you ask the AI for edits, see pricing. Pro costs $4 a month (cancel anytime) and gives you non-expiring links, same-link updates, password protection, no badge, and ZIPs up to 100 MB.
Questions
Can ChatGPT make me a website for free?
Yes. Ask ChatGPT for a single self-contained index.html file with inline CSS and JavaScript, then paste that code into ship.page to get a live HTTPS link in seconds with no signup.
What is the best free AI website builder that actually publishes?
Wix and Framer both publish live sites for free on their own subdomains, while Durable only gives a private preview and Hostinger only offers a 14-day trial. For a site with no ads and no bandwidth cap, generate HTML in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and host it on ship.page.
Can I edit my AI website later and keep the same link?
On the free plan, pages cannot be updated in place, so uploading a revised HTML file gives you a new link. On the Pro plan ($4 a month) or Team plan ($19 a month), you can re-upload or edit your page and keep the exact same URL.
Can I use a custom domain for my AI website?
No plan on ship.page offers custom domains; every site gets its own subdomain, and the $19 a month Team plan adds a vanity subdomain. For your own .com domain, you need a paid plan on a host like Framer (Basic at $10 a month) or Wix.
Will my uploaded AI website show up on Google?
No. Every page on ship.page is sent with a noindex header so search engines leave it out, and uploads are never listed anywhere public, though anyone who has your link can open it.
