[Cloudflare Drop ↗︎](https://cloudflare.com/drop) lets you deploy a static site to Cloudflare without requiring a Cloudflare account to get started.

Upload a folder or zip file of static assets (static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts) and get a temporary live preview that stays live for 1 hour. During that window, you can test the site, share the preview URL, or [claim the deployment](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/claim-deployments/) to keep it.

When you are ready to make the deployment permanent, click **Claim** to sign in or create a Cloudflare account. You can claim the site into an existing Cloudflare account or create a new account for the deployment.

Note

If you are creating a new account, you will need to verify your email address before continuing.

After claiming the site, you can:

- **Add a domain**: [Connect](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/routing/custom-domains/) an existing domain or purchase a new one for your site.
- **Enable [observability](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/observability/)**: Monitor your site's performance and usage.
- **Enable [Markdown for Agents](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/markdown-for-agents/)**: Allow AI agents to access your site's content in Markdown.
- **Control access**: Make your site [private](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/policies/) and choose who can view it.
