About avfile.io
A modern, fast, and secure file sharing platform built on cutting-edge cloud infrastructure. Share files effortlessly with anyone, anywhere in the world.
What is avfile.io?
avfile.io is a free, browser-based file sharing service that enables users to upload, store, and share files of any type with a simple link. Designed with simplicity and speed as its core principles, avfile.io eliminates the friction typically associated with file transfers — no registration walls, no complicated interfaces, and no unnecessary steps between selecting a file and sharing it with your intended recipient.
Whether you are sharing a presentation with colleagues, sending high-resolution photos to family, distributing software packages to users, or transferring large datasets between teams, avfile.io provides a reliable and straightforward solution. Our platform handles files up to 2GB in size and supports every common file format, from documents and images to videos, archives, and code repositories.
Built on Cloudflare R2's globally distributed network, avfile.io ensures that your files are accessible from anywhere in the world with minimal latency. The platform leverages Cloudflare R2 object storage, which provides enterprise-grade durability, redundancy, and performance without the traditional egress fees that plague other cloud storage providers.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make file sharing as simple and accessible as possible for everyone. We believe that sharing digital content should not require creating accounts, navigating complex interfaces, or paying premium prices for basic functionality. avfile.io exists to remove barriers between people and the files they need to share.
We are committed to protecting user privacy and data security. Files shared through avfile.io are not scanned, mined, or analyzed for advertising purposes. We offer optional password protection for sensitive files and automatic deletion to ensure that your data does not persist longer than necessary. Transparency in our data practices is fundamental to how we operate.
We continuously invest in our infrastructure and technology to deliver faster upload and download speeds, greater reliability, and an ever-improving user experience. Our roadmap includes enhanced collaboration features, improved file management tools, and expanded storage options to serve a growing global user base.
How It Works
Using avfile.io is straightforward and requires only three steps:
Select Your File
Drag and drop your file onto the upload zone or click to browse. We support files up to 2GB in any format.
Upload & Configure
Optionally set a password and choose how long the file should remain available. Your file is uploaded in chunks for reliability.
Share the Link
Receive a unique download link instantly. Share it with anyone — recipients can download the file with a single click.
Behind the scenes, avfile.io uses a sophisticated chunked upload system that splits your file into smaller segments for reliable transfer. Each chunk is uploaded directly to Cloudflare R2 Storage using presigned URLs, which means your data travels directly from your browser to Cloudflare R2 infrastructure without passing through intermediary servers. This approach maximizes upload speed and ensures data integrity. Once all chunks are received, they are assembled into the complete file and a shareable download link is generated.
Technology Stack
avfile.io is built on a modern technology stack chosen for performance, reliability, and developer experience. Every component of our infrastructure has been selected to deliver the best possible experience for our users.
Cloudflare R2 Storage
Object storage with zero egress fees, 99.999999999% durability, and global distribution. Files are stored across multiple geographic regions for redundancy and fast access from any location.
Next.js 16
The React framework with App Router provides server-side rendering, API routes, and optimized performance. Our application leverages the latest features for fast page loads and seamless user interactions.
TypeScript
Full type safety across the entire codebase reduces bugs, improves maintainability, and ensures that our API contracts are consistently enforced between frontend and backend.
Chunked Uploads
Our proprietary chunked upload system with presigned URLs enables reliable large file transfers. Failed chunks are individually retried without re-uploading the entire file.
