Host a ZIP file and share it as a link
Put an archive online at its own address, so people can download the whole bundle in one click without hitting an email size limit.
Drop your ZIP file here
Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Free to use. Your ZIP file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.
What is a .zip file?
ZIP is the standard archive format, created by Phil Katz in 1989. It bundles many files and folders into one compressed file, preserving the folder structure — which makes it the usual way to hand over anything that is more than a single document.
What people use ZIP files for
- Delivering a set of files to a client in one download
- Design assets, brand kits and export bundles
- Photo sets too numerous to send individually
- Source code and project archives
- Backups and exported data
What opens a ZIP file
- Windows File Explorer and macOS Finder, both of which unzip natively
- 7-Zip, WinRAR and The Unarchiver
- Every programming language, via a zip library
How to host a ZIP file
- 1
Drop your ZIP 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: brand-assets.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.
What happens when someone opens the link
The archive downloads, then the reader's operating system unpacks it — no extra software needed on Windows or macOS.
Why host a ZIP file instead of emailing it?
A ZIP is nearly always too big to email, and file-transfer services make the recipient wait through ads or sign up. A direct link downloads at full speed, works on any device, and doesn't expire in seven days like most transfer services.
Worth knowing before you publish
- Name the address after what's inside — brand-assets beats archive-final-2.
- If your ZIP is a website (HTML plus its assets), drop it in as a site instead and it'll be published as live pages rather than a download.
- Password-protected ZIPs work fine, but remember the password has to reach the recipient some other way.
- 25 MB is the limit for a single file, so very large bundles need splitting or compressing further.
ZIP hosting questions
- How do I send a large ZIP file to someone?
- Upload it here and send the link. There's no attachment limit to work around, nothing for the recipient to sign into, and the download doesn't expire the way transfer services do.
- Does the ZIP get extracted automatically?
- Only if it's a website. Dropping in a zip containing an index.html publishes it as a live site; anything else is hosted as an archive people download and unpack themselves.
- Can I password-protect the archive?
- You can zip it with a password before uploading — hosting doesn't interfere with that. The link itself is public, so the password is what protects the contents.
- What's the size limit?
- 25 MB for a single file. Larger bundles need to be split, or compressed more aggressively.
