PageDrop alternative · Single-page HTML sharing
PageDrop is winding down. Your AI can publish here instead.
PageDrop is winding down: open uploads have ended and Creator Pass uploads stop on October 31, 2026. It made one HTML file into a link with no account; artifact.guru lets your AI publish over MCP and update the same link.

| Upload it yourself | Paste HTML or upload one file, no account; an existing Creator Pass is now required | Drag in files, or a whole folder for a built site or React app |

| Who opened it | View and like counts on public Explore listings | Paid plans: names on email links; counts, sources and devices on the rest |

Where PageDrop is good
- It needs no account, email or sign-up: paste HTML or drop one file, add an existing pass code, and the link is live in seconds.
- Privacy options are built in: an optional password, read-once links that delete after the first view, and expiry from 1 hour to 30 days.
- Its upload API needs no API key, only an existing pass code, and ships with a SKILL.md, so an agent can publish with one curl call.
Where artifact.guru is different
- Your AI publishes over MCP from Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok and other MCP apps. You approve once in the browser, with no key or pass code to paste.
- Fix a page after you share it: every publish or edit is a new version at the same link, and you can roll back any time.
- More than one HTML file: React components, Markdown, PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images and whole sites from a zip or folder open in the browser, up to 100 MB a file.
- New links start private. Invite people by email and see each person who opened it, when and how often, or use a secret code or a public link.
Moving over from PageDrop
- 1Before each page expires, gather its HTML from your own files or your AI chat; expired PageDrop pages can’t be restored.
- 2Drag the files into artifact.guru, or ask your AI to publish them over MCP.
- 3Pick who can open each link, then send the new link to anyone who had the old one.
