FAQ
Is this free?
Yes, free forever for 7-day links, no account needed. Pro ($5/mo) adds permanent links and custom expiry, custom subdomains, password-protected links, bulk creation of up to 50 links at once, and use on up to 3 devices. See pricing.
Does this work over HTTPS?
Yes, but the origin server's TLS certificate can't be fully validated over a preview link, since the request arrives by IP rather than by domain. That's expected for a pre-launch server — don't rely on the preview link for anything beyond visual/functional checks.
Will this work on private/internal IPs?
No — private, loopback, and reserved IP ranges are blocked. The target has to be a publicly reachable server.
How long do links last?
7 days, then they're deleted automatically.
Do you recommend a host for the new server?
We don't run hosting ourselves, but Hostinger is a solid, affordable option if you need somewhere to stand up the server you're previewing. That's an affiliate link — we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
How does Pro work without an account?
Paying through Stripe hands you a single Pro key instead of a username/password. Enter it on this site to unlock Pro features on that device — up to 3 devices per key, which works well for a small team. If you cancel, your Pro-created links fall back to the normal 7-day expiry rather than disappearing immediately.
