How to publish HTML from Poe chat
Poe puts dozens of models — Claude, GPT, Gemini and more — behind one chat, and its Previews feature renders any HTML they write right in the conversation. But a Preview isn't a website. Here's how to take the code from any Poe bot and give it a real address.
- 01
Open the Preview's code
When a bot writes HTML, Poe shows a Preview card in the chat. Open it and switch to the code view — or find the raw code block in the message itself.
- 02
Copy the code
Use the copy button to grab the complete file. It doesn't matter which underlying model wrote it — Claude, GPT-4o, whatever — the HTML publishes the same way.
- 03
Save it as index.html
Paste the code into any text editor — Notepad, TextEdit, VS Code — and save the file as index.html. The name matters: it's what browsers treat as your homepage.
- 04
Drop it in the box below
Drag index.html (or the whole folder) into the upload box on this page and hit publish. Your site gets its own web address instantly.
- 05
Share your link
That's it — send the URL to anyone. You can rename the site, update the files, or delete it from your dashboard whenever you like.
Drop your Poe HTML here
One file or a whole folder — you'll get a live link the moment it's published.
Drag your website here
Drop a folder with your index.html — or just paste HTML from your clipboard — and we'll put it online in seconds. No setup, no config, no headaches.
Or let Poe publish it for you
Skip the copying entirely. Copy our ready-made instructions, paste them into your Poe conversation, and it can upload the site through our API — you get back a live link and a private claim link to take ownership.
Working in a terminal instead? Run npx hosting — no account needed.
Poe publishing questions
Poe lets me share a Preview link. How is this different?
A shared Preview opens inside Poe with its interface around your page, and it stays tied to your chat. Publishing here gives you a standalone website on its own URL — no Poe account needed to view it, nothing around your content.
Different bots on Poe gave me different versions. Which one do I publish?
Whichever preview looks best — save it as index.html and drop it in. You can publish more than one, too: each upload gets its own address, so you can compare them live.
What's the easiest way to publish HTML from Poe?
There are three. Easiest: copy the HTML from Poe and paste it into the box on this page — we turn it into a live site instantly. Long term: install our browser extension and publish from AI chats with one click. Hands-off: copy our AI instructions into your Poe conversation and it publishes through our API for you.
Do I need an account to publish?
Publishing from this page takes a free account, so your site has a home in your dashboard. Prefer no sign-up? Run npx hosting in a terminal — it deploys without an account and gives you a private claim link for later.
What if Poe gave me more than one file?
Put everything in one folder — index.html at the top, plus any CSS, JavaScript, and images it references — and drag the whole folder into the box. Up to 500 files and 50 MB per site.
How much does it cost, and how long does the site stay up?
It's free, and published sites don't expire — they stay live until you delete them from your dashboard. Re-upload anytime and the link stays the same.
