Upload a zip
Upload a zip, get a website.
Uploading a zip should unpack into a working website, not sit there as an archive to download. Drop a .zip containing your site’s files here and, when it holds a website, Nippy offers to extract it — one click and the contents publish as a live site at an address like build.nippy.site, with index.html as the homepage and its CSS, JavaScript and images served alongside. Prefer to share the zip itself? Keep it as a single file and visitors download it instead.
It’s the quickest way to publish an export from a website builder, a static-site generator, or an AI tool that hands you a zipped folder: no unzipping by hand, no server setup, and no account needed for visitors to open it.
The link is permanent, nothing expires, and republishing is just dropping a new zip on the same address. Hosting is static, so client-side sites work perfectly and anything needing a backend doesn’t. Free covers an unzipped site inside 25 MB and adds a small banner to the page, which a paid plan removes along with a custom domain, password protection and analytics.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How does Nippy know which page to show?
Once extracted, the index.html at the root of your zip becomes the homepage, and the rest of the files are served alongside it at their original paths — just like a normal static site. If the zip sits inside a single wrapper folder, Nippy removes the wrapper so the homepage still lands at the root.
Do I need to unzip it first?
No — drop the .zip as-is. When it looks like a website, Nippy offers to extract it and one click stages the contents as pages. It’s built for exports from website builders, static-site generators and AI tools that hand you a zipped folder — and if you’d rather share the archive itself, choose to keep it and visitors get it as a download.
Is uploading a zip free?
Yes — the free plan publishes an unzipped site up to 25 MB at a *.nippy.site link with a small banner. Paid plans add space, a custom domain, passwords and banner removal.
Can the site run server-side code?
No. Hosting is static, so client-side HTML, CSS and JavaScript work perfectly, but anything that needs its own backend server is out of scope.
