Host a TypeScript file and share it as a link

Put a .ts file at a public address that displays as readable text — for sharing types, examples and snippets.

You can host:

Free to use. Your TS file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.

What is a .ts file?

TypeScript is JavaScript with static types, developed by Microsoft. A .ts file is source that compiles to JavaScript before running — browsers can't execute it directly, which is why hosting one is about sharing code to read rather than code to run.

What people use TS files for

  • Type definitions shared across projects
  • Code examples in documentation
  • Snippets sent to a colleague for review
  • Configuration and schema files written in TypeScript

What opens a TS file

  • Any browser, which displays it as text
  • VS Code and every modern editor
  • tsc, the TypeScript compiler
  • Node.js with tsx or ts-node

How to host a TS file

  1. 1

    Drop your TS 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. 2

    Pick an address

    Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: types.99helpers.site

  3. 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 source displays as text in the browser. TypeScript can't run in a browser without compilation, so this is for reading rather than executing.

Why host a TS file instead of emailing it?

Type definitions and code examples are awkward to share — too long for a chat message, too small for a repository. A link preserves the formatting and can be referenced from documentation.

Worth knowing before you publish

  • Compile to JavaScript if you want something that actually runs in a browser.
  • The .ts extension is also used for MPEG transport streams; we treat it as TypeScript and serve it as text.
  • Don't include environment values or keys — the file is public.

TS hosting questions

Can a browser run TypeScript?
No — it compiles to JavaScript first. A hosted .ts file is for reading and copying; host the compiled .js if you need something that executes.
Isn't .ts also a video format?
It is — MPEG transport stream uses the same extension. We treat .ts as TypeScript and serve it as text, which is the far more common case.
Will it display in the browser?
Yes, as text, with formatting and indentation exactly as uploaded.
