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 the alpha channel in my MOV survive the upload?

Yes. We do not transcode. If the source MOV has an alpha channel (Animation codec, ProRes 4444, HAP Alpha), the file the recipient downloads contains the same alpha channel.

Can a Windows recipient open a MOV?

Most modern Windows installs play MOV via the bundled media player. For older codecs like ProRes, the recipient may need the Apple Pro Video Formats package or a player like VLC, which is free.

What if my MOV is huge, like a 5-minute 4K iPhone clip?

5 GB is the hard ceiling. Most 4K iPhone clips fit. If yours is over 5 GB, trim it in iMovie or Photos before uploading.

Will the recipient see a thumbnail before they download?

The share page tries to render the first frame as a poster. If the codec inside the MOV is browser-native, the inline player works. Either way, the download is always available.

How to send a MOV file.

MOV is the iPhone and Apple camera default. It is also one of the most painful formats to email, because the files are large and the codecs inside vary wildly. quik.space takes the exact MOV you upload, preserves the alpha and the timecode, and gives the recipient a link they can open on any operating system. Free up to 100 MB, $1 to 500 MB, $5 to 5 GB. No signup required.

Drop your QuickTime MOV 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 QuickTime MOV?

QuickTime MOV files use the .mov extension and the video/quicktime MIME type. The format sits in the video category. Typical files run 100 MB - 3 GB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a QuickTime MOV

Gmail's 25 MB cap is laughable for a MOV. A 5-minute iPhone MOV at 4K30 is roughly 1.5 GB. Even iCloud Mail Drop caps at 5 GB and requires Apple ID.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 QuickTime MOV

quik.space accepts MOV containers without re-wrapping or transcoding. The byte stream is preserved, so audio sync, alpha channels, and timecode survive intact. Recipients on any platform get an inline player and a download link. 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
