AI files
Send AI files without the upload wait
A working design file carries every layer, and every layer has weight. Here AI files go straight from your device to the printer or the client: a AI file of 5 – 200 MB starts moving the moment the other side opens your link, and when the share ends nothing is left online.

Why it fits your work
The AI file arrives untouched
No re-encoding, no resizing, nothing lost on the way — what you send is byte for byte what lands on the other device.
No account on either side
The other side opens a link or types a short code. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for, on a phone as well as a computer.
Nothing sits on a server
Your AI file is not parked in a data centre waiting to be collected, so there is no copy left behind to leak or expire.
No storage bill
You are not renting space by the month for a file that gets collected once.
Three steps, no waiting

One click gives you a short code and a link.

They get the files
Your files start moving the moment they open it.
Questions people ask
How big can a AI file be?
Up to 5 GB in a free share, and no size limit at all on Max.
Is my AI file re-compressed on the way?
Never. It is handed over exactly as it is — same bytes, same quality, same details inside it.
Does the other side need the same program?
To open the AI file afterwards, yes — Illustrator all read it. To receive it, no: a browser is enough.
Do I have to install anything?
No. It works in the browser you already have, on a phone as well as a computer.
