What is Vercel Drop?

Vercel Drop is a zero-setup deployment tool that lets you publish a website by dragging a file or folder directly into your browser. No Git repository, no CLI commands, no local configuration. Just drop your project onto vercel.com/drop, pick a team and project name, and click Deploy. Within seconds, Vercel uploads your files, creates a new project, and serves it live with a shareable URL — straight to production.

Who it's for

• Designers and prototypers who want to share a working demo without touching a terminal or version control.
• Hackathon participants who need to get an idea online in seconds, not minutes, with zero friction.
• Developers testing static sites who want to quickly validate a build or preview a project without setting up a full CI/CD pipeline.

Key features

Drag-and-drop deployment

You can drag a single file, an entire folder, or a .zip archive into your browser window. Vercel automatically extracts and uploads the contents — no file picker dialogs or manual upload forms required.

No configuration required

There is no need to create a vercel.json, set up environment variables, or configure build commands. Vercel Drop infers the project type and serves it as a static site instantly. Your site goes live with sensible defaults.

Instant live URL

Once the upload finishes, Vercel generates a unique production URL that you can share immediately. There is no staging step or manual publish button — the deployment is public and accessible the moment it completes.

Works with any static project

You can drop HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, or any combination of static assets. Frameworks like React, Vue, or plain HTML all work as long as the output is a set of static files. No build step is required on Vercel's side.

What stands out

"No configuration. Your site goes live instantly."

That one-liner captures the entire philosophy of Vercel Drop. While most deployment tools require at least a Git push or a CLI login, Vercel Drop removes every possible barrier. You don't even need an existing project structure — just a file or folder. The result is a deployment experience that feels more like sharing a file than launching a website. For quick demos, prototypes, or one-off pages, it's hard to imagine a faster path from local file to live URL.

Worth checking out if…

You need to share a static site in under 30 seconds and don't want to install anything, configure anything, or think about infrastructure. It's also ideal for non-developers who just want to put a page online without learning Git or a deployment platform.
