Tiiny.host makes it easy to get a static page online fast. But if you need versioning, terminal-based workflows, or support for more than just HTML, you will hit its limits quickly.
Handoff picks up where Tiiny.host leaves off. Upload HTML, Markdown, or images from your terminal. Get a clean, shareable URL with built-in version history. No file size anxiety, no branding watermarks, no monthly bill.

Credit where it is due. Tiiny.host has carved out a clear niche, and there are things it gets right.
If you are a non-technical user who needs to share a PDF or a simple HTML page through a browser-based interface, Tiiny.host is a solid choice.
Once you move beyond the simplest use case, Tiiny.host's constraints start to stack up.
Tiiny.host's free plan allows 3 MB of uploads. The $5/month Tiny plan raises that to 25 MB. Even the $31/month Pro plan caps total file storage at 1 GB across all your sites. If your HTML page includes images, fonts, or bundled assets, you can run into limits faster than you would expect.
There is no command-line tool. Every upload goes through the browser's drag-and-drop interface. If you work in a terminal (or inside an AI coding tool like Claude Code), this means switching context every time you want to publish or update a page.
When you update a page on Tiiny.host, the previous version is gone. There is no version history, no way to compare changes, and no way to link someone to a specific point-in-time snapshot. If a stakeholder says "I liked the version from Tuesday," you have no way to retrieve it without managing backups yourself.
Tiiny.host hosts HTML and PDFs. If you want to share a Markdown document as a rendered web page, you will need to convert it to HTML yourself before uploading. That is an extra step in every workflow involving documentation, notes, or specs.
Free-tier pages include Tiiny.host branding. Removing it requires a paid plan.
On the free plan, your hosted pages require you to log in at least once every three months to stay online. Forget to check in and your links go dead.

When you are iterating on a prototype or sharing work for review, version history is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between "here is the latest" and "I overwrote the one you were looking at." Handoff versions every upload automatically. The URL stays the same for the latest version, and every previous version remains accessible by number.
Developers live in the terminal. Handoff meets you there. One command to upload. One command to update. No browser tab, no drag-and-drop, no clicking through a web UI to publish a file that already exists on your machine.
handoff upload prototype.html
# -> handoff.host/@you/prototype (Version 1)
# Make changes, upload again
handoff upload prototype.html
# -> handoff.host/@you/prototype (Version 2)
With Tiiny.host, every update means opening a browser, navigating to the dashboard, and dragging files into a web interface. That friction adds up when you are iterating quickly.
If you write documentation, specs, or project briefs in Markdown (and most developers do), Handoff renders them as clean web pages automatically. No conversion step, no static site generator, no build process.
handoff upload api-docs.md
# -> handoff.host/@you/api-docs
Tiiny.host does not support Markdown at all. You would need to convert to HTML before uploading.
Handoff integrates directly with Claude Code. Generate a page with AI, upload it, and share the link without leaving your coding session. This is especially relevant as AI-assisted development becomes a standard part of how people build.
Tiiny.host has no CLI, no API, and no integration points with AI tools.

Handoff is a better fit if:
If you have pages on Tiiny.host and want to move them to Handoff, the process is straightforward.
Save the HTML, CSS, and assets for each page you have hosted on Tiiny.host to your local machine. If you still have the original source files, even better.
handoff upload my-page.html
Each page gets its own clean URL at handoff.host/@yourname/page-name.
Replace the Tiiny.host links you have shared with your new Handoff URLs. Going forward, you can keep updating the same pages and the URLs will stay stable across versions.
If you have documentation or text-heavy pages that you were converting to HTML for Tiiny.host, you can now upload the Markdown source directly.
handoff upload project-brief.md
# -> handoff.host/@yourname/project-brief
No more running your notes through a Markdown-to-HTML converter before publishing.
Handoff is free during beta. No credit card, no usage caps, no signup required.
Upload your first page in seconds and see the difference that versioning, CLI workflows, and Markdown support make.
