Yes. Up to 100 MB per file and up to 3 files per request are free. Files expire in 72 hours unless you pay $2 to extend by 30 days, or pay to group them into a 30-day space for $5.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Anonymous use is the default. You can optionally attach your email so you can recover files later if you lose the share link.

How long do files last?

Free files expire in 72 hours. After that there is a 7-day grace period during which a $2 extend will bring the file back for 30 more days. After the grace period the storage is permanently purged.

Can AI agents use quik.space?

Yes. quik.space exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and accepts the x402 standard for stablecoin micropayments on Base. Agents do not need API keys or signup — their wallet is their identity.

What file types are supported?

Any file up to 5 GB. The recipient page renders inline previews for images, audio, video, PDFs, markdown, HTML (sandboxed), Microsoft Office docs, and plain text or code.

Does quik.space play AVI inline in the browser?

Most browsers do not have native AVI decoding. The share page falls back to a download button. The recipient opens the file in VLC, which handles every AVI codec.

Is my AVI re-encoded?

No. We store the exact bytes. If it is DivX in, it is DivX out.

Will the AVI metadata stay intact?

Yes. The original container, headers, and codec information are preserved byte-for-byte.

What is the size ceiling?

5 GB hard cap. Most AVI files fit, but if you have a multi-hour MJPEG file it may exceed the limit. Split or re-encode before uploading.

How to send an AVI file.

AVI is the old reliable. It is also one of the chunkiest containers around because the spec predates modern compression. Email won't touch it, and most modern cloud drives will silently transcode it. quik.space takes the file as-is and gives the recipient a download link in seconds. Free up to 100 MB. No signup, no ads.

Drop your AVI video here.

Free up to 100 MB. No signup, no email needed.

No email means no recovery. If you lose this link, we can't get you back to this file.

Price scales with file count, up to 25 files. Shown once. 7-day expiry.

What is a AVI video?

AVI video files use the .avi extension and the video/x-msvideo MIME type. The format sits in the video category. Typical files run 50 MB - 4 GB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a AVI video

AVI files are typically large because the format is old and inefficient. A 30-minute DVD rip can be 1 to 2 GB. Gmail won't take 25 MB, let alone a multi-gig AVI.Slack, Discord, and most other workplace tools have similar caps, often around 1 GB for free tiers and with aggressive per-channel storage limits. Even when the file fits, it counts against the recipient’s mailbox quota forever.

How quik.space handles AVI video

quik.space passes AVI containers through without re-muxing. Whatever codec is inside, DivX, Xvid, MJPEG, stays inside. The recipient downloads the original and opens it in VLC or any AVI-capable player. The share page renders an HTML5 video player for browser-native codecs, so the recipient can scrub and watch inline before downloading the original.

The file lives for 72 hours by default and then enters a 7-day grace period. We do not train AI on your files. We do not share them with third parties. After grace, the bytes are permanently purged from storage. Read the full policy on privacy.

Common use cases

Send legacy AVI footage from an older camcorder
Share a DVD rip with a family member
Pass MJPEG AVI from a microscope or scientific camera
Archive old AVI files to a colleague before they age out
