What this is

You paste or upload an HTML document and get a public link to it, on htmlusercontent.com, in a couple of seconds. No account. That is the whole product today — see HTML hosting for the mechanics and how long a page stays up.

Why it exists

A lot of the HTML that gets published this way is not typed by hand. It is generated by an AI chat tool and handed back as a finished file with no obvious way to open it — the person has a block of code, not a link, and the next step is usually "paste this somewhere and give me the URL". The tools that already do that step publish the moment you ask: the document goes live, you get a link back, and nothing in between looked at whether the page actually works once it leaves your machine. A missing viewport tag, a background that only exists in your editor's dark theme, a call to localhost that made sense while you were testing it, a script pulled from a CDN with no version pinned to it — none of that stops a page from getting a URL. It stops the page from working for whoever opens that URL, and by then the person who published it has usually moved on.

This service runs a check before the link is handed back, not after someone reports the page is broken. The checks look for exactly that handful of things — see Share AI-Generated HTML for the full list and what gets fixed automatically versus flagged for you to fix yourself — and what comes back is the URL together with what was checked and what, if anything, was changed. That is the entire difference this product is built around: not a different way to turn HTML into a link, the same thing everyone else already does, but a look at the page before that link goes out.

What is real today

Stated plainly, because a product page that implies more than this would be describing something that does not exist yet:

• Publishing needs no account, and every document is screened before it gets a URL — see Terms for exactly what that screening does and does not catch.
• A published page lives on htmlusercontent.com, a separate domain from this one, in its own isolated browser origin — see Cookies for what that separation actually protects.
• A free page stays up for 30 days, then is recoverable but not public for another 30, then is gone — see Terms.
• Signing in with Google is optional, and exists only to manage pages you already published — see Privacy.
• Publishing is free and needs no account. Two paid add-ons exist, and both of them buy time rather than features: one extends a single page's expiry, one keeps several pages from expiring. Pricing lists every figure.
