The Linkyhost alternative for HTML that stays interactive
Everything you link with Linkyhost,
without the flattened file.
Linkyhost converts any PDF, DOCX, HTML, ZIP or image into a shareable link in seconds. Two million links and counting. display.dev does one of those formats properly. HTML and Markdown stay interactive pages, and the URL is gated by who you say rather than by who guessed it.
Route 01 – from your agent
Your agent publishes it right now.
Paste this into Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent. It publishes and hands back the URL.
Copies the full prompt, including what your agent should do once the URL comes back.
Route 02 – drop the file
Publish the file you already have.
One HTML or Markdown file. Anonymous publishing takes up to 50 MB, and it stays a page rather than a download.
No file to hand?
- html + markdown
- up to 50 MB
- no signup
Either route returns a URL and a claim link. Claim it and you decide who can open it – anyone, named people, or your whole company.

What Linkyhost does
Drag in a file of almost any kind and get a link back. The size ceiling steps with the plan: 10 MB free, 100 MB on Pro, 500 MB on Enterprise. Its own counter reads just over two million links created by around 675,000 users.
Breadth is the product. If you need one link that could be a contract, a slide deck or a photo, that breadth is the reason to use it. It also means HTML is one format among many rather than the thing the product is built around.

When Linkyhost is the right tool
- Mixed formats
- A PDF today, a DOCX tomorrow, an image after that, all from one place. display.dev takes HTML and Markdown and nothing else.
- Sending a document outward
- A file going to someone with no relationship to your company is a link problem, not an identity problem.
- No budget
- Free and immediate is hard to argue with when the file is small and the audience is anyone.
"Secure" usually means "hard to guess"
A link nobody can guess is a reasonable default for a photo. It is a thin answer for an internal dashboard.
- ✗Anyone with the URL is inIncluding whoever it was forwarded to, and whoever screenshotted it.
- ✗Analytics, not identityUnique-visitor counts tell you how many, never which colleague.
- ✗A document, not a pageFormats like PDF and DOCX arrive as downloads; an interactive HTML report should stay a page.
Who can open it
An open URL, served with noindex, when the content is genuinely public.
Named email addresses only, each with a one-time password by email. Per person, and removable per person.
On Pro, Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID decides who gets in.
And it stays a page. Charts, filters and scripts keep working, because an HTML artifact is served rather than handed over.

Common questions.
Can display.dev host a PDF?
No. It publishes HTML and Markdown. If your job is sending PDFs and Word documents, Linkyhost covers more ground than we do.
How big can a file be?
Anonymous publishing accepts up to 50 MB. Once the page belongs to an organization the per-artifact ceiling follows the plan: 10 MB on Free, 50 MB on Solo and above. See pricing for the current limits.
Do I need an account?
Not to publish. You get a URL and a one-time claim link back; sign in only if you want to keep the page beyond 30 days.
Does my HTML stay interactive?
Yes. Charts, scripts and interactive elements all keep working, because it is served as a page rather than handed over as a download.
Can I see who opened it?
On gated artifacts, yes – viewers sign in, so there is a name attached to each view rather than a count.
Publish your first artifact in 15 seconds.
Free tier. No credit card. One-time password auth on free, Google + Microsoft SSO on Pro (€49/month flat).
