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 symbols and shared styles survive?

Yes. The .sketch file is byte-identical, so symbol overrides and shared styles all stay.

Can a Windows user open it?

No. Sketch is Mac-only. Use the Sketch Cloud share link or export to a different format if the recipient is on Windows.

Are linked libraries handled?

Linked libraries are separate files; share them alongside. Or pin the library to the file via Sketch's options before exporting.

Will my plug-in metadata survive?

Yes, the file is unchanged. The recipient needs the same plug-ins installed to interact with their data.

How to send a Sketch file.

Sketch files carry the brand library inside. A real working file is large, often 100+ MB. quik.space stores the file byte-for-byte and gives the recipient (on macOS) a clean download link with every symbol and style intact.

What is a Sketch design file?

Sketch design file files use the .sketch extension with no single standard MIME type. The format sits in the design category. Typical files run 5 MB - 500 MB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Sketch design file

A working Sketch file with 50 artboards, symbol library, and embedded raster easily hits 200 MB. Email rejects, Slack caps free tiers fast.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 Sketch design file

quik.space stores the .sketch file byte-for-byte. Symbols, shared styles, embedded raster, all survive. The recipient opens it in Sketch on macOS. The share page does not preview proprietary design files inline. The recipient downloads the original and opens it in the matching application.

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.
