Free peer-to-peer file transfers in your browser. We never store anything. Files only served fresh.

Features

Uses WebRTC to eliminate the initial upload step required by other web-based file sharing services
Since data is not stored on an intermediate server, transfers are fast, private, and secure
A hosted instance of FilePizza is available at file.pizza

New UI with dark mode support, built on modern browser technologies
Works on most mobile browsers, including mobile Safari
Faster handshake through direct transfer from the uploader to the downloading browser (WebRTC, no WebTorrent)
The uploader can monitor transfer progress and stop it
Stronger security and safety measures through password protection and reporting
Multiple files can be uploaded at once, and the downloader receives them as a zip file
Streaming downloads via service workers
Out-of-process storage of server state using Redis

Next.js, Tailwind, TypeScript, React, PeerJS (for WebRTC), View Transitions, Redis (optional)
Clone the source code from GitHub, then install and run it with pnpm
FilePizza can be built and run with Docker

How files are transferred: files are sent directly from the uploader's browser to the downloader's browser. They do not pass through a server. Files are transferred using WebRTC, and the uploader must keep the browser window open until the transfer completes.
Simultaneous downloads: yes. Just send the short or long URL.
File size limit: as large as your browser can handle
If the browser is closed: the file URL no longer works. If a download has completed, that downloader keeps seeding to downloaders who have not finished, but no new downloads can start.
Whether files are encrypted: all WebRTC communication is automatically encrypted with DTLS. For extra security, you can add a password to an upload.
