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 RED's metadata survive?

Yes. The R3D bytes are preserved as-is. Look-up metadata, ISO, color science, all intact.

Can I send multi-part R3D clips (spanned files)?

Zip them first. quik.space accepts single files. A zip keeps the spanned sequence together.

What is the size cap?

5 GB hard ceiling. Most 4K and 6K REDCODE clips at moderate compression ratios fit. 8K HQ clips usually do not.

Does the recipient need RED software?

Yes, to read the file. REDCINE-X PRO is free. Resolve and Premiere read R3D natively. quik.space just delivers the bytes.

How to send a RED R3D file.

R3D files come off RED cameras with film-grade raw data inside. They are huge. quik.space takes the R3D as raw bytes, no transcoding, no metadata stripping, and gives the recipient a link they can open in REDCINE-X PRO or any major NLE with the R3D SDK.

What is a RED R3D?

RED R3D files use the .r3d extension with no single standard MIME type. The format sits in the video category. Typical files run 2 GB - 4 GB per minute, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a RED R3D

R3D is RED Digital Cinema's raw format. A 1-minute REDCODE clip at 8K can be 4 to 8 GB. There is no email service that will look at this twice.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 RED R3D

quik.space stores the R3D file as raw bytes. The recipient downloads the original and opens it in REDCINE-X PRO, DaVinci Resolve, or Premiere Pro with the R3D SDK installed. 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.
