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 layers in my TIFF survive?

Yes. Multi-layer TIFF support, alpha channels, and ICC profiles are all preserved.

Is 16-bit per channel preserved?

Yes. We do not downsample bit depth. 8-bit stays 8, 16-bit stays 16, 32-bit float stays 32.

Will the embedded ICC profile pass through?

Yes. The TIFF container is byte-identical.

What is the size cap?

5 GB hard ceiling. Most TIFF masters fit. For multi-gig medical or print masters, $5 covers up to 5 GB.

How to send a TIFF file.

TIFF is the format that print, scientific, and archival workflows rely on. The files are huge because they are usually 16-bit and uncompressed. quik.space stores the TIFF as-is, every layer and every channel, and gives the recipient a download link.

No email means no recovery. If you lose this link, we can't get you back to this file.

What is a TIFF image?

TIFF image files use the .tif, .tiff extension and the image/tiff MIME type. The format sits in the image category. Typical files run 20 MB - 500 MB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a TIFF image

TIFF is print-and-archive format, often saved at 16-bit per channel with no compression. A high-res 16-bit master can run 200 to 500 MB. Email is not realistic.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 TIFF image

quik.space stores the TIFF intact. Multi-layer TIFFs, 16-bit, 32-bit float, all preserved. The recipient opens it in Photoshop, Affinity, GIMP, or any TIFF reader. 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.
