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.

Will layer information survive?

Yes. The DXF is byte-identical.

Can a non-AutoCAD program open DXF?

Yes. LibreCAD, FreeCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, all read DXF.

What about blocks and external references?

Blocks are preserved. External references (xrefs) need to be zipped along with the DXF.

Is binary DXF supported?

Yes. We do not interpret the format; we pass the bytes through.

How to send a DXF file.

DXF is the CAD lingua franca, the format every machine shop reads. Files get large with complex profiles. quik.space stores the DXF byte-for-byte and gives the recipient a clean download to load into any CAD program.

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 DXF CAD file?

DXF CAD file files use the .dxf extension and the image/vnd.dxf MIME type. The format sits in the 3d category. Typical files run 500 KB - 200 MB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a DXF CAD file

DXF is the interchange format for CAD. Complex laser-cut or CNC files can run tens of megabytes; full architectural exports can hit hundreds. Email rejects above 25 MB.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 DXF CAD file

quik.space stores the DXF byte-for-byte. Whether ASCII or binary DXF, every layer and every entity survives. The share page does not render 3D scenes inline. The recipient downloads the file and opens it in the matching DCC.

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 a DXF to a laser-cutting service
Hand off a CNC-ready DXF to a machine shop
Share a DXF cross-section to an engineer
Pass a DXF profile to a fabricator
