UploadToLink is a browser tool that turns a file, pasted text, or source URL into a share link with optional password, expiry, and download limits.
Core capabilities
The homepage offers three starting points: drop or choose files, paste or edit text, or save a source URL. Recipients open a share page in the browser. Images, PDFs, text, and JSON can be previewed there; other formats are offered as downloads. Signed-in users can copy the full handoff details, copy the link only, or show a QR code.
Send a file when a form wants a URL
Upload a screenshot, PDF, recording, or archive and paste the generated address into a form, ticket, or message instead of attaching the file.
Share code or logs as text
The text tab covers Markdown, JSON, YAML, code, and logs, with formatting, minify, validate, find-and-replace, and draft restore. The site says it supports 20+ text formats.
Bundle several files
After sign-in, multiple files can become one collection. Recipients can open items separately or download a ZIP, within the plan's file count.
How to use it
- Choose File, Text, or URL and add the source. Uploads show progress and can be cancelled or retried.
- After the link exists, set the access options your plan allows, then copy the details or open the page to check the preview.
- Send the link or QR code. The recipient does not need an account to open the share page. Password and download rules apply before the content is shown.
Who it suits
It fits support and IT handoffs, forms that accept only a URL, and short reviews of images, PDFs, or config snippets. It is a poor fit if you need a permanent team drive, collaborative editing, or an account-free way to keep large files online. The site itself asks whether this is permanent storage; the published limits show that guest and free links expire.
Pricing, access and limits
The product runs on the web. Guests can make 1 upload per day, up to 1 MB per file, with links that last 8 hours and a fixed cap of 10 downloads. A signed-in Free plan is $0: 10 uploads per day, up to 3 MB per file, 24-hour link expiry, up to 10 collections, bulk upload, text shares up to 1 MB, passwords, download limits, a dashboard, and ZIP download. Free includes ads.
Pro is $7.99 per month: 500 uploads per day, up to 50 MB per file, custom expiration, unlimited collections, self-destructing shares, text up to 10 MB, bulk upload, no ads, passwords, download limits, share management, and ZIP downloads. Plus is $16.00 per month: up to 2,000 uploads per day, 300 MB per file, text up to 20 MB, flexible expiration, and the same advanced controls. The pricing page also has an annual toggle marked Save 20%; the yearly charge is not listed on the monthly cards. A security section describes expiry choices from 1 hour to never for people who can set expiry, and burn-after-read on Pro and Plus. Content is served through Cloudflare.
Frequently asked questions
Can someone open a link without an account?
Yes. Recipients open the share page in a browser. They do not need to sign in to preview supported formats or download the file.
What is free, and what expires?
Guest use is limited to one small upload per day and an 8-hour link. Signed-in Free use stays available at $0, with a 24-hour expiry. Larger files, custom expiry, and burn-after-read are on Pro or Plus.
Which files preview in the browser?
Images, PDFs, text, and JSON preview on the share page. Other formats download instead.
