Link in Seconds vs Tiiny Host,side by side
Both tools turn what you have into a shareable link, but Tiiny leans toward publishing small static sites while Link in Seconds is built for sharing files fast — here's an honest, side-by-side look.

Moving from Tiiny Host in three steps
- 1
Figure out what you're actually hosting
If it's a self-contained one-page HTML file (a landing page, an email template preview, a coding assignment), both tools serve it. If it's a resume PDF, a product image, a demo video, or a ZIP of assets, Link in Seconds treats that as a first-class link rather than something you shoehorn into an HTML wrapper.

Upload it and claim a clean name
Drop the file on the upload card — no account needed for a first PDF, image, or video up to 10 MB. On Pro you set a custom name (like spring-launch), which replaces the random string Tiiny hands you on its free tier. The link opens straight in any browser with nothing to install.
- 3
Share the link (or a QR) and watch the opens
Every link ships with a view counter and a downloadable QR code you can drop on a slide or a flyer. Send the URL by message, email, or QR. If you later swap the file, keep the same link — handy when you're iterating on a page you already sent to a client.
One-page HTML: the true overlap
This is where the two tools genuinely compete. Both take a single self-contained .html file and serve it live in the browser. Tiiny Host is built for exactly this and also handles a small ZIP of a multi-file static site (an index.html plus its CSS and images) — that's its home turf. Link in Seconds serves one self-contained HTML file rendered safely in a sandboxed frame; it does not yet unpack a multi-file website. So for a plain landing page, a Tailwind export, or an email-template preview, both work. For a Jekyll or React build with linked assets across folders, Tiiny's ZIP-site hosting is the better fit today.
Files and bundles: where Link in Seconds pulls ahead
Tiiny is site-first; everything tends to become a hosted page. Link in Seconds is file-first. A resume PDF, a PNG mockup, an MP4 demo, or a ZIP of deliverables each becomes its own clean link that previews in the browser — the PDF in a real viewer, the video playing inline, no download required to look. And when you have five files to send, buckets bundle them into one album link (Pro/Lifetime, up to 500 MB each) so the recipient scrolls one page instead of chasing five URLs. If your day is mostly sending documents and media rather than publishing sites, this is the bigger difference.
Links that stay up, no visit meter
Static hosts often meter bandwidth — file size multiplied by visits — and pause your page when a monthly cap is hit, which is exactly when something you shared is doing well. Link in Seconds has no visit cap and no bandwidth meter, so a link that catches on keeps serving. Links also never expire on any plan, free or paid. That matters for the thing you posted once and forgot about: a QR on a printed flyer, a resume link in an old email, a demo you linked in a portfolio. It should still resolve a year later without you topping anything up.

questions
Yes, for a single self-contained HTML file, served live in a sandboxed frame. It doesn't yet unpack a multi-file ZIP site — that's Tiiny Host's strength, so a linked build is a better fit there.
It treats files as first-class links that preview in the browser, bundles many files into one album link, and puts a view counter and QR code on every link — including the free plan. No visit caps either.
A view counter is free on every link. Deeper breakdowns — devices and countries — are part of Pro. If you just need an open count, the free plan covers it.
No. Links never expire by default on any plan, and there's no visit limit or bandwidth meter, so a link keeps working however many people open it.
Yes, on Pro. You set the name, so the link reads clearly instead of as a random string, and you can swap the underlying file later while keeping the same link.
