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 support CR3 from Canon R bodies?

Yes. CR3 is the newer container; we treat it the same as CR2 (byte-identical pass-through).

Will the embedded preview survive?

Yes. The CR2/CR3 file contains a JPEG preview inside. We do not touch it.

Can I send the .CTG sidecar files too?

Zip the shot folder if you need sidecars. quik.space handles single files; a zip preserves everything.

Will Digital Photo Professional open it after?

Yes. Byte-identical means DPP reads it as if it came off the card.

How to send a CR2 / CR3 file.

Canon's CR2 (older) and CR3 (R-series) RAW files capture everything the sensor saw. They are too large for email and too valuable to risk through any service that re-encodes. quik.space stores the file bytes intact and gives the recipient a link to download the original.

What is a Canon CR2 RAW?

Canon CR2 RAW files use the .cr2, .cr3 extension with no single standard MIME type. The format sits in the image category. Typical files run 25 MB - 80 MB per shot, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Canon CR2 RAW

Canon CR2 (older bodies) and CR3 (newer R-series) files are 25 to 80 MB each. A wedding shoot card is 32 to 128 GB of CR2/CR3. Email is irrelevant at this scale.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 Canon CR2 RAW

quik.space accepts both CR2 and CR3 byte-for-byte. The recipient downloads the original and opens it in Canon's Digital Photo Professional, Lightroom, or any RAW editor that reads Canon files. The share page renders a full-size inline preview, so the recipient sees the image immediately and downloads the original at full resolution.

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

Hand off a CR3 to a colorist before final delivery
