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 components and prototype links survive?

Yes. The .xd file is byte-identical.

Can the recipient open it without an Adobe account?

They need Adobe XD installed to open the file, which currently requires an Adobe Creative Cloud account.

Are linked libraries preserved?

Linked Creative Cloud libraries depend on the recipient's CC account. Embedded assets travel with the file.

Does the share page preview XD?

No. XD is proprietary; the recipient downloads and opens it locally.

How to send an XD file.

Adobe XD files carry components, prototype connections, and assets in a single proprietary container. They are too big for email and Creative Cloud share links require an Adobe account. quik.space stores the .xd byte-for-byte and gives any recipient a direct download link.

What is a Adobe XD file?

Adobe XD file files use the .xd extension with no single standard MIME type. The format sits in the design category. Typical files run 5 MB - 300 MB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Adobe XD file

Adobe XD files with high-res assets and many artboards run 50 to 300 MB. Email caps make this unworkable, and Creative Cloud sharing requires the recipient to have an Adobe account.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 Adobe XD file

quik.space stores the .xd file byte-for-byte. The recipient downloads and opens it in Adobe XD. No Adobe sign-in required to download. 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.
