how the utility works

Docs for assigning a URL.

URL Anything assigns a public internet link to a file, a pasted payload, or a destination. This page is the short manual.

Create a public internet link

On the homepage, drop a file or paste text / JSON / a destination URL. Type a slug. Click Create URL. The utility publishes the thing at /u/your-slug/ and shows a branded AnythingURL name.

1
POST /create/multipart file, optional text_body, optional slug.
2
GET /u/<slug>/The public share page people actually open.
3
GET /u/<slug>/raw/Original bytes, JSON, HTML, or a redirect.
4
GET /u/<slug>/download/Force-download the uploaded file.
5
GET /u/<slug>/qr.pngQR code for that public internet link. Add ?download=1 to save the PNG.

What gets a specialized preview

Images, PDFs, audio, video, CSV tables, JSON, HTML, and text/code render on the public page. Everything else gets a download card. Every live URL also gets a QR code that encodes the same public internet link. Redirects forward immediately unless you add ?stay=1 or just created the link.

Naming rules

Every public internet link is unique. You can type a free name, or use a random adjective-noun-number combo such as quiet-harbor-4821. If the name is taken or reserved, the utility assigns a new combo instead of colliding. Shuffle the box to draw another one.

Accounts and Keep

You can assign a public internet link without signing in. Every new URL is live for 24 hours. Sign in to claim session URLs and a dashboard of what you have put on the web. Paid Keep is coming soon to pin a name so a printed QR or bookmarked endpoint still opens.

Limits

Free uploads are capped at 25 MB. Do not publish secrets, malware, or content you do not have the right to share. Report abuse on the Abuse page.
