What does “straight to production” mean for us?

The moment Drop finishes, the page is public on its URL. There is no private link where your team checks it first. So we check the exported files before the drop, and we move anything that will change into Git, where every edit gets a preview.

Can we drop a new version over the old one?

Not from vercel.com/drop. Each drop there creates a new project. Vercel’s docs say dropping onto an existing project with no Git connection makes a new production deployment of it, but for anything you edit often, Git is the safer route.

Is there a size limit?

Vercel publishes none. Files upload from your browser, so a large folder takes longer on a slow connection. For big or frequent deploys, Vercel points to its CLI.

Do we need a Vercel account?

Yes. Hobby works, but Hobby is for non-commercial use only. A business page belongs on a Pro team your company owns.

Does Drop cost extra?

Vercel lists no separate price for Drop as of 16 October 2026. It runs on your Vercel plan.

A designer in a Dubai agency drags a finished site folder into a browser while an account manager watches.

The page is finished. It has been waiting a week for someone to host it.

The event page, the menu or the checklist is done in Claude Design, Bolt.new or Google Stitch. Then it waits for a developer, a server and a login. With Drop, you drag the folder into a browser and it is live on a link. There is no preview step, so we check it before it lands and move it into Git for every change after.

The problem

Why a finished page still is not live.

What Vercel Drop is

Vercel Drop, in plain words.

Facts from Vercel’s own pages, checked on 16 October 2026. The sources are at the end of this page.

What it is: Drag a file, a folder or a .zip into the browser at vercel.com/drop. No Git, no Vercel CLI, no local setup.
What it builds: Static sites, and framework projects that Vercel detects and builds for you. Vercel names exports from Bolt.new, Claude Design and Google Stitch.
Where it goes: Straight to production. There is no private preview link first: what you drop is public on its URL as soon as it is published.
One drop, one project: Each drop on vercel.com/drop creates a new project. It does not update the site you dropped last time.
After the drop: The project has no Git connection, so pushes do not deploy. Connect a Git repository to get a build on every change.
Account and status: A Vercel account is needed; Hobby works but is for non-commercial use only. The page carries no beta or GA label.

How it works

From a finished export to a live link.

Five steps. The fourth is the one to plan for: the site is public the moment it lands, so the checking happens before you drop.

Five steps: export the site, drag it onto the page, pick a team and name, it is live at once, connect Git for later changes. — The same steps are written out below.

Step by step

What happens at each step.

Export
Export the finished site
From Claude Design, Bolt.new, Google Stitch, or your own build folder.
Drop
Drag the folder onto the page
A file, a folder or a .zip at vercel.com/drop. With no index.html, Vercel asks which page to serve at the root.
Name
Pick the team and a name
Each drop becomes a new project under the team you choose.
Live
It goes straight to production
Vercel builds it if it finds a framework, then publishes. No preview link comes first.
Next
Connect Git for later changes
A dropped project has no Git link. Connect one so the next edit gets a preview and a review.

How it fits together

Where Drop sits between the design tool and your customers.

The design or AI tool makes the files. Drop puts them live. From then on, Git and previews carry every change, and the page’s forms still send leads to Salesforce.

An export from a design tool is dropped in the browser and goes live, then moves to Git and previews, with leads going to Salesforce. — Where it sits next to the systems you run today.

How Vercel Drop fits into the work of the industries we serve, one step at a time.

An event page is exported, checked link by link, dropped live the same day, then moved into Git after the event. — Examples of the work, not client stories. Times in each example show the order of events, not a measured result.

A festival menu page made in an AI tool is checked by the owner, dropped live, and shared on WhatsApp. — Examples of the work, not client stories. Times in each example show the order of events, not a measured result.

Is it for you

When Vercel Drop fits, and when it doesn’t.

Good fit

Not for you yet

A finished export from a design or AI tool: You need a private preview before customers see it
A page that must be live today: You plan to update the same site by dropping again
Someone can check every link before it lands: The page takes card payments or patient data
You will move it into Git if it keeps changing: A business site on a Hobby account

What Mindcat does

We build it, then we run it.

The assessment is free: a short read of the org and a written note. If you go ahead, the first build week is a fixed AED/SAR 14,900 (about USD 4,050), credited in full when you sign the build within 60 days. After go-live, we keep it patched, watched and changing every month.

01Check it before it landsLinks, forms, spelling and prices on the exported files, because Drop has no preview.

02Drop it on your own teamOn a Pro team your company owns, with your domain added, never on a personal account.

03Wire the formsEnquiries go to Salesforce as leads, with a test lead first.

04Move it into GitSo every later change gets a preview link, a review and a rollback.

05What it costsThe assessment is free. The first build week is a fixed AED/SAR 14,900. Monthly prices for looking after it are on one page.
