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.

Is DNG a true RAW file?

Yes. DNG is a standardized RAW container. quik.space stores it byte-for-byte.

Will my iPhone ProRAW DNG keep its computational data?

Can I batch-send DNGs?

Up to 3 files free, up to 25 with a $2 bulk upload, or zip the batch.

Will Lightroom recognize the file after download?

Yes. Byte-identical means Lightroom and Camera Raw read it like the original.

What is a Adobe DNG?

Adobe DNG files use the .dng extension and the image/x-adobe-dng MIME type. The format sits in the image category. Typical files run 20 MB - 150 MB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Adobe DNG

DNG is Adobe's open RAW standard. Files run 20 to 80 MB for a typical shot, more for medium-format. Email caps out long before you can attach more than one or two.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 Adobe DNG

quik.space treats DNG as the universal RAW format it was designed to be. We store the bytes intact, the recipient opens it anywhere DNG is supported (Lightroom, Capture One, Affinity, RawTherapee). 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
