02About
What is File to URL?
Sometimes a file doesn't fit any category. It's too big for email, it's needed on another device, or someone just needs to grab it once. File to URL accepts any file type and gives it a direct link that works without an account on either end.
Common types such as images, video, audio, PDF, and text open in the browser. Other types download. HTML, SVG, XML, and JavaScript files are always served as downloads, so a shared link can't run code in someone's browser.
Popular uses
- Move files between devices
Upload on your laptop, open the link on your phone.
- One-off transfers
Send something once, without a cloud drive folder to clean up.
- Temporary downloads
Give testers or clients a build, font, or dataset for a few days.

04FAQ
File to URL: frequently asked questions
How do I create a download link for a file?
Drop the file in the upload box or click to choose it, pick how long the link should last, and copy the link when the upload completes.
Which file types are allowed?
Any type. Active web formats (HTML, SVG, XML, JavaScript) are served as downloads rather than opened, to keep links safe for the people who click them.
Are my files compressed?
Images are reduced before upload (resized to at most 2560 pixels and saved as WebP) unless you switch off Reduce image size. Videos, audio, PDFs, documents, and archives are uploaded unchanged.
Can I upload several files at once?
Yes, up to 10 at a time. Each file gets its own link. To share them as one link, put them in a ZIP first.
How long does the link last?
You choose: 24 hours or 7 days. After that the file is deleted automatically and the link stops working. Links can't be extended. Upload the file again for a new link.
Who can see my upload?
Anyone who has the link. Links are long and random, so they can't be guessed, but anything you share can be forwarded. Don't upload passwords, ID documents, or other sensitive data.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it's free, and no account, email, or sign-up is needed. Each file can be up to 100 MB, and the service limits how many uploads you can make in a short time.
Can I delete a link before it expires?
Not from this page yet; every link is removed automatically after its lifetime (at most 7 days). To report content that breaks the rules, use the contact page.
