What is an HTML File?

An HTML file is a type of text document that contains Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). HTML is the language used to create web pages and applications; an HTML file is the source code for such documents. The code in an HTML file defines how the various components of a webpage should be arranged and displayed on the user’s web browser.

 

HTML files can be edited with plain text editors or specialized tools like web authoring software. Once an HTML file is created and saved, it can be uploaded to a web server for public viewing on the Internet.
