My AI gave me an HTML file. What do I do with it?
You have an .html file from Claude, ChatGPT, or another tool. Here is how to open it, share it, and edit it.
An .html file is just a web page in a single file. Double-click it and it opens in your browser, but only on your computer. To send it to someone, or to keep working on it, you need it on the web. That is what Coedit is for.
Turn it into a link you can share
- 1In Coedit, click New project.
- 2Drag your
.htmlfile onto the box (or open the file, copy everything, and paste it in). - 3Give it a name and click Create share link.
- 4Copy your link and send it. Anyone can open and comment on it, with no account.
If your page came as a folder or a .zip with images and styles, bring the whole thing in so nothing goes missing. See Import a folder or .zip.
Can I just email the HTML file instead?
You can, but the person has to download it and open it, images often break, and there is no way to comment or edit together. A Coedit link opens straight in the browser and stays editable.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Once it is in Coedit you edit the words, colours, and layout by clicking right on the page. See Edit text and style on the page.
The shared page looks broken. Why?
The page is probably pointing at images or styles that only exist on your computer. See My shared page looks broken or the images are missing.
