Publish HTML code from ChatGPT as a website

Ways to publish HTML code from ChatGPT

Why does my HTML file only open on my computer?

When you double-click an HTML file on your computer or phone, your browser opens a local address that starts with file:// or content://. That address points to your own hard drive, so nobody else can open it when you send them the link.

To let other people view your ChatGPT website online, the file has to be hosted on a web server with an https:// address. Pasting your code or uploading the file to ship.page puts it on a public HTTPS subdomain in seconds.

How do I put an HTML file online from Android or a phone?

You do not need a desktop code editor or command line to turn HTML code into a website from a phone. In the ChatGPT app or mobile browser, tap the copy button on the HTML code block, open ship.page in your mobile browser, and paste the code.

If you saved an index.html or .zip file to your Android Downloads folder, use the file picker on ship.page to select and upload it. Every upload gives you a shareable HTTPS link and a downloadable PNG QR code.

Which tool should I use when ship.page is not the right fit?

ship.page is built for fast static publishing: it serves HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, audio, video, WebAssembly, and JSON with no ads and no bandwidth limits. Every page sends a noindex header so search engines leave it out, and there is no custom domain option on any plan.

Other hosts are a better pick when your project needs specific features:

• Pick GitHub Pages if you want a custom domain or up to 1 GB of storage for a non-commercial project, and do not mind creating a GitHub account and public repository.
• Pick Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or Vercel if your app uses client-side routes like /about and you cannot switch them to hash routes (#/about), because those platforms can rewrite every path to index.html.
• Pick Vercel Drop if you only need an anonymous preview for one hour, or plan to sign in and claim the project into a full Vercel account.
• Pick Netlify Drop if you plan to sign in and claim the drop to remove the temporary password that blocks unclaimed visitors.

File rules, routing, and Pro upgrades on ship.page

When you publish a ChatGPT website with multiple files, name your entry page index.html. If you upload a ZIP that has a single top folder, ship.page unwraps it automatically. File paths are case-sensitive, and a lone PDF, image, or video is not accepted by itself: put it inside a folder or ZIP alongside an index.html file.

Multi-page sites work with standard paths: a file saved as about.html opens at /about.html, and a folder with about/index.html opens at /about/. Because there is no single-page-app fallback and no custom 404 page, opening or refreshing a client-side route like /about directly returns 404. Tell ChatGPT to use hash routes like #/about so every link works on refresh.

Free pages cannot be updated in place; uploading a new version creates a new link. If you upgrade to Pro for $4 a month (billed monthly, cancel anytime), Pro pages do not expire while you are on Pro, you can re-upload or edit a page and keep the same link, add password protection, upload ZIPs up to 100 MB (400 MB unpacked) with up to 10,000 files, and claim up to 5 custom subdomains like yourname.ship.place.

Tip: Folder uploads go up as a single request of at most 10 MB (roughly 7 MB of files) on every plan, so zip bigger folders before uploading.
