What is FilePizza?

FilePizza sends files straight from your browser to someone else's using WebRTC, so the file is never stored on a server in between. You drop a file in, share the link, and the download starts while your tab stays open. It is free, open source and needs no account.

Pros: what FilePizza does well

  • No file size limits from a server
  • Files never sit on a server
  • Free and open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Your tab must stay open
  • Both people need to be online

Who FilePizza is for

Anyone who wants to send a big file quickly without cloud storage.

Who can skip it

People who need links that work while they are offline.
