manage files and folders in your tinydot sites.

uploading

  • click the upload button to select files
  • upload multiple files at once with progress tracking

supported file types

  • markdown (.md) - rendered as formatted pages in your site's design
  • html (.html, .htm) - served as its own page, exactly as you wrote it. your own styles and layout, no tinydot chrome around it
  • images (.jpg, .png, .gif, .webp) - displayed with optimization
  • text and code (.txt, .css, .js, .json, .yaml, ...) - syntax highlighted
  • other files - available for download

html pages

drop an .html file in your folder and it becomes a page on your site, rendered the same way it looks when you open it locally. both /page and /page.html work.

.css and .js files are served with the right content type, so a stylesheet or script next to your html file loads normally:

html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

name a file index.html and it becomes that folder's page, the same way index.md does.

folders

create folders to organize your content. folder structure maps to URLs. see urls for full resolution rules.
