How Bopbee picks the project mode from your first upload.

Bopbee picks the mode automatically from your first upload.

PDFPNGMP4

Code mode

HTML, CSS, JavaScript static sites

<html> ... </html>
The first upload locks the project into viewer or code mode.

Viewer mode

PDF, images, audio, video, or Office files only. Each file opens in a preview. Several files appear as tabs.

Document preview
Multiple documents appear as tabs in the built-in viewer.

Code mode

Your upload contains HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. Bopbee serves a static website.

Portfolio site

Live

index.html

Code mode detected

portfolio.bopbee.app

Static sites get a public HTTPS link when deployment is Live.

Cannot switch modes

You cannot switch modes on an existing project. To publish a website after starting with PDFs only, create a new upload project with at least one HTML file.
