Deploy Websitesfrom a ZIP File
Bundle your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts into a single ZIP file. Drop it in, choose a URL, and your entire website is live in seconds. No build steps, no CLI required.
What Goes in Your ZIP
Bundle your entire website into a single ZIP file. We extract it, preserve your folder structure, and serve every file at the correct path automatically.
index.html is Required
Your ZIP must contain an index.html file at the root level. This is the entry point visitors see when they access your website URL.
Any Folder Structure Works
Use any folder hierarchy you want. Your file at css/style.css will be served at yoursite.dplooy.com/css/style.css.
All File Types Supported
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images (JPG, PNG, SVG, WebP), fonts (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF), JSON, XML, and more. If it belongs on a website, we support it.
Auto Path Resolution
All relative paths in your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files work automatically. We preserve the exact same structure from your ZIP, so every link, image, and script loads correctly.
Deploy in Under a Minute
No complicated setup, no build tools, no CLI. Just three quick steps and your website is live with a custom URL and free SSL.
Choose Your URL
Pick a custom subdomain name for your website. Your site will be live at yourname.dplooy.com.
Drop Your ZIP
Drag and drop your ZIP file into the upload area. We accept ZIP files up to 5GB on Pro with any folder structure inside.
Click Deploy - Done!
Hit the deploy button and your entire website goes live instantly. Files are extracted, paths are resolved, and SSL is enabled automatically.
ZIP deploy or folder upload?
Same result, same hosting, same free SSL and subdomain. The only question is whether you want to zip the folder first.
ZIP deploy
One archive, one upload
- Best when the ZIP already exists — an export, a download, a build artefact
- Survives a flaky connection better: one file either lands or it doesn't
- Folder structure inside the archive is preserved exactly
- The only option if you're on a browser that can't pick a folder
Folder upload
Pick the folder itself
- Best while you're still working locally — no zipping step between edits
- Choose the project folder straight from the file picker
- Same extraction, same path preservation, same limits
- Skips the round trip of compressing a folder you're about to change again
Folder upload has its own walkthrough on the multi-file website page. Deploying a single HTML file instead? That's single page hosting.
What happens to your archive
Everything below runs on upload, on every plan, with nothing to configure.
The moment you upload
- Extraction
- The archive is unpacked, the entry point is detected, and a path mapping is built for every file inside it.
- Paths
- Your folder structure survives intact. A file at css/style.css in the ZIP is served at yoursite.dplooy.com/css/style.css.
- Address
- Pick any free subdomain as you deploy. Pro plans can point a domain you already own at the same site.
Every request after that
- HTTPS
- Every deployed site gets an SSL certificate automatically. No configuration, no renewal to remember.
- Delivery
- Files are served from edge locations worldwide, so load times hold up regardless of where visitors are.
- Analytics
- Page views, visitor counts and referrers are recorded per project, with no script to add to your pages.
Who reaches for a ZIP
Portfolio exports
Export from any design tool, zip the output, deploy it whole with images and styles intact.
Framework builds
The dist or build folder from React, Next.js, Vue or Astro, uploaded in one go.
Client deliverables
Turn a finished site into a live URL you can send, without setting up hosting for it.
Purchased templates
Download an HTML template, edit it locally, zip the result and see it running.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should be in my ZIP file?
Your ZIP should contain all the files for your website: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, and any other assets. The most important requirement is that an index.html file must be at the root level of the ZIP (not inside a subfolder).
What's the maximum ZIP file size?
Free plan: up to 50MB. Plus plan: up to 500MB. Pro plan: up to 5GB. These limits apply to the compressed ZIP file size. The extracted content can be larger.
How many files can the ZIP contain?
Free plan: 50 files. Plus plan: 100 files. Pro plan: no practical limit. The count is taken after extraction, so a ZIP that packs more files than your plan allows is rejected even when it is comfortably under the size limit.
Does my ZIP need an index.html?
Yes, your ZIP must contain an index.html file at the root level. This is the entry point that visitors see when they access your website URL. Without it, the deployment will fail.
What file types are supported inside the ZIP?
We support all common web file types: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images (JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WebP), fonts (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, OTF), JSON, XML, TXT, PDF, and more. Basically anything you'd use in a static website.
Can I update my website after deploying?
Yes! You can re-deploy by uploading a new ZIP file to replace the existing site. Pro users can also use the built-in code editor to modify individual files and upload new assets without re-deploying the entire ZIP.
Is ZIP deploy a free or paid feature?
ZIP deploy is available on all plans including the free tier. Free plan allows up to 50MB ZIPs with 3 total projects. Plus and Pro plans offer larger file limits and more projects.
How do file paths work after extraction?
All paths are preserved exactly as they appear in your ZIP. If you have a file at images/logo.png in your ZIP, it will be accessible at yoursite.dplooy.com/images/logo.png. Relative paths in your HTML and CSS will work automatically.
