Where BrewPage differs

Both put a static page online from the browser without signing up first. They differ in what happens after the first hour, what you can publish and how ownership works.

• No claim, no email. Cloudflare's changelog calls an unclaimed drop “a temporary live preview that stays live for 1 hour”. Keeping it means signing in or creating a Cloudflare account, and a new account verifies its email address first. On BrewPage nothing needs claiming: the link stays up for the days you pick, up to 30, and the owner token from each publish updates or deletes it.
• Paste text, not only files. Cloudflare Drop's page lists a folder, a .zip or a single .html file. BrewPage takes those too, plus pasted HTML or Markdown, so a page an AI assistant wrote in a chat can go online without saving it to disk first.
• Markdown is first-class. A .md file or pasted Markdown is rendered as a styled, readable page. See Markdown hosting.
• Agents get a lasting link without a claim URL. Both let an agent publish without logging in: Cloudflare's Wrangler deploys with --temporary, creating a temporary account and a claim URL to use within 60 minutes. BrewPage's REST API publishes with one curl request and no key, and returns the link and an owner token with no claim deadline. There is an OpenAPI spec, the brewpage-mcp server, a GitHub Action and an llms.txt.
• A password without an account. Cloudflare offers access control once a site is claimed. On BrewPage any publish can carry a password of at least 4 characters, no account needed.

When Cloudflare Drop is the better choice

BrewPage is built for sharing something now, not for running a website. Cloudflare is likely the better tool if one of these matters to you:

• You want to keep the site long term. Claim it into a Cloudflare account and it is yours to keep and grow. Every BrewPage publication is deleted within 30 days.
• You want your own domain. After claiming, you can connect an existing domain or buy a new one. BrewPage does not offer custom domains: pages live on brewpage.app or a BrewPage subdomain.
• The site is larger. On Workers Free a claimed site can hold 20,000 static asset files per version, 25 MiB each. A BrewPage site is capped at 200 files and 20 MB.
• You plan to build on Cloudflare. Claimed sites can add observability, Markdown for Agents and access control, and static asset requests are free and unlimited.

Publish on BrewPage in three steps

1. 1Open the editor on the homepage. Paste HTML or Markdown, or drop a .html or .md file. For a site with its own CSS, JavaScript and images, drop the whole folder or a .zip.
2. 2Choose who can find it. Public, the default, can appear in the gallery and in search; Private gives an unlisted address. Add a password if readers should enter one, and pick how many days the page stays online, up to 30.
3. 3Press Publish, copy the link and keep the owner token: it is what lets you replace or delete the page later.

Scripts and agents can skip the editor. Each request below returns the link and the owner token as JSON:

Publish a ZIP of a static site for 15 days

curl -X POST "https://brewpage.app/api/sites?ttl=15" \
  -F "archive=@site.zip"

Publish a single HTML file

curl -X POST "https://brewpage.app/api/html?ttl=15" \
  -H "Content-Type: text/html" \
  --data-binary @index.html

The site opens at the file named by the entry parameter, else a root index.html, else the shallowest HTML file. The full reference is on the API page and in llms-full.txt.

What to know before you switch

Lifetime

Content expires within 30 days: you pick 1 to 30 days, and the editor suggests 30 for public pages. Expired content is deleted for good. Updating a page keeps its original expiry; publish again to start a new period.

Attribution

Published pages show a small BrewPage badge.

Domain

No custom domains. Pages live on brewpage.app or a BrewPage subdomain.

Visibility

Public pages without a password may be listed and indexed. An unlisted address is not secret: anyone with the link can open it. Use a password when readers should have to enter one.

Ownership

No accounts: the owner token is the only way to update or delete. A lost token cannot be recovered, and the page then simply expires.
