Private Pens!
Mark your in-progress work as Private, so nobody can see your Pens until you want them to. Or, use a secret shareable URL to share it only with people you choose.
Asset Hosting!
Need to use an image in a Pen? No more awkwardly finding alternate hosting for it, you can drag-and-drop it right onto CodePen and we’ll host it for you. And it doesn’t have to be just images. It could be CSS, JavaScript, a PDF you want to link up, a short movie file, some JSON to request, really anything!
