Host a log file and share it as a link
Put a .log at a public address that opens instantly in the browser — for the times someone needs to see the output rather than a screenshot of it.

Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Free to use. Your LOG file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.
What is a .log file?
A .log file is plain text produced by software as it runs — timestamps, events, warnings and stack traces. There's no standard structure; the extension is a convention meaning "this is output you might need to read later".
What people use LOG files for
- Build and CI output shared with a colleague
- Error logs attached to a bug report
- Diagnostics sent to a vendor's support team
- Server output shared during an incident
What opens a LOG file
- Any browser, which displays it as text
- Any text editor
- grep, less and tail, on the command line
- Log analysis tools, which import plain text
How to host a LOG file
- 1
Drop your LOG file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.
- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: build-output.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The log appears as text in the browser immediately, and the reader can use the browser's find to search it — which is usually all anyone needs.
Why host a LOG file instead of emailing it?
Pasting a long log into a chat or an issue buries the conversation and gets truncated at exactly the interesting part. A link keeps the thread readable and gives the reader the whole file with search.
Worth knowing before you publish
- Logs frequently contain internal hostnames, IP addresses, tokens and customer identifiers — read through before making one public.
- Very long logs are slow to render; trimming to the relevant window makes them far more useful anyway.
- Gzip a large log and host the .gz if the raw file is over the size limit.
LOG hosting questions
- Will the log open in the browser?
- Yes, immediately as text, and the browser's find function works for searching it.
- Is it safe to share a log publicly?
- Read it first. Logs routinely contain internal hostnames, IP addresses, session tokens and sometimes customer data. Anyone with the link can read the whole file.
- My log file is too large — what now?
- Trim it to the relevant portion, which usually makes it more useful anyway, or gzip it and host the .gz.
