Upload a document and get a share link

Outcome: a self-contained HTML file is stored in your scrolly account and has one share link you can send. You need a scrolly account (free) and an .html file under 25 MB.

Before you start

  • Sign in at scrolly.net. The free plan needs no credit card.
  • Have the .html file ready. It must be self-contained: styles, scripts and images inside the one file. Open it from an empty folder to check.

Upload the file

  1. Open Documents from the dashboard navigation.
  2. Drag the .html file anywhere onto the page, or click Upload HTML and pick the file. The page shows the size your plan allows: 25 MB on Free, 100 MB on Pro.
  3. Wait for the upload to finish. The button shows the phase (hashing, uploading, registering) and the new document appears in the list with its title taken from the file.

If the file is not HTML, or is over your plan's cap, the upload is refused before anything is sent and the message tells you why.

Expected result

The Documents list shows the document. Its page lists one share link. Opening the link in a private browser window renders your file.

If something looks wrong

  • The page renders without styles or images: the file was not self-contained. Fix the file and upload it again as a new document.
  • Upload HTML is disabled: you are at the free plan's ceiling of 5 documents. Delete one you no longer need.
  • Create link is disabled: this document already has 3 active links, the free plan's limit. Revoke one first.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What file types can I upload?
Self-contained HTML only (.html or .htm). PDFs, slides and ZIP folders are not accepted. If your HTML references local images or scripts, inline them first.
What happens if the file is over the size limit?
The upload is refused before anything is sent, with a message naming your plan's cap: 25 MB on Free, 100 MB on Pro.
Why did my link stop working after a month?
Free-plan links expire 30 days after creation unless you set a shorter date. Create a new link, or upgrade to Pro for links without a default expiry.
