Send large files without an account

Two ways to move a file: stream it browser-to-browser in real time, or park it in encrypted storage and share a 4-character pickup code. Free to start, no ads, no sign-up.

Common questions

  • 01Is GigaFile free?

    Real-time peer-to-peer transfers are always free, with no size limit. Cloud transfers are free under 1 GB, up to one per day. Past that it is $1 per GB, capped at $3 for a single transfer — a one-time charge, not a subscription.

  • 02Do I need an account?

    No. Neither the sender nor the recipient needs to register. You pick your files, we give you a pickup code, and the other person enters it. That is the whole flow.

  • 03What is the difference between real-time and cloud transfer?

    Real-time streams the file straight from one browser to the other over WebRTC — both of you need the page open at the same time, and the bytes never reach our servers. Cloud encrypts the file in your browser, stores it, and lets the recipient download whenever they like within the retention window.

  • 04How long do you keep my files?

    You choose when you send: 1, 3, 7, 10 or 15 days. Files are deleted as soon as that period ends, or as soon as the download limit you set is reached — whichever comes first.

  • 05Are my files encrypted?

    Yes, in both modes. Real-time transfers are encrypted in transit by the DTLS layer built into WebRTC. Cloud uploads are encrypted with AES-256 inside your browser, before anything leaves your device.

  • 06What is a pickup code?

    A 4-character code shown after you send. Codes beginning with P are real-time transfers; codes beginning with C are cloud transfers. Entry is not case-sensitive, and we leave out characters that are easy to confuse — 0, O, 1, I and L.
