There are http gateways that people who haven’t installed ipfs can use. There’s a list here: > [@Curated list of IPFS gateways](https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/curated-list-of-ipfs-gateways/620): > > Those are the ones mentioned in this topic: [https://www.eternum.io](https://www.eternum.io)[https://ipfs.infura.io](https://ipfs.infura.io)[https://ipfs.jes.xxx](https://ipfs.jes.xxx)[https://siderus.io](https://siderus.io) Currently not working: [https://upload.global](https://upload.global)[http://rx14.co.uk](http://rx14.co.uk)[https://xmine128.tk](https://xmine128.tk) ipfs4uvgthshqonk.onion Note: just append /ipfs/\ or /ipns/\ to the URL. Are there more? Months ago I stumbled across another one (somewhere in the American South, I believe), but it was already non-functional at the time. Would be nice to have a list of available… There might be more, but that’s as far as we got. Just remember that if the IPFS object is a file (not a directory), and people access it in their browser, they will download it directly, and the file won’t have any filename or extension. So it’s best to add these files to a directory, and publish that directory’s hash instead of the file’s hash. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/browsing-ipfs-links-from-without-a-running-node/765)._
