Share .avif files
Share your AVIF file in one link
Drop your .avif file, name the link and send it. It opens straight in their browser — nothing to install, no account to create, no attachment limit.
- Opens in their browser — nothing to install
- No attachment limit, no 'request access'
- Replace it later and the same link shows the new version
Drop the AVIF file you want to share
Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Why share a AVIF file as a link?
Send a photo through most chat apps and it arrives smaller and blurrier than you took it — they recompress everything. Email chokes on a handful of full-size images. A link sends the original, pixel for pixel, and it opens instantly in any browser.
Usually you'd be sending it to a client, a friend, a printer or a website that needs the picture. They don't need an account, and you don't need to know which app or device they'll open it on.

Got it, opened fine on my phone 👍
On their side
What the person you send it to sees
They tap the link and the .avif file (AVIF image) opens right in the browser tab — on a phone, a laptop or a work computer, with nothing to install and no account to make.
What they need
- A web browser on any phone, tablet or computer — that's it
- No account, no app, no 'request access'
- To work with it in an app: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, all of which support it
Sending a AVIF file: link vs. the usual ways
What happens to a .avif file when you email it, drop it in a chat or put it in a cloud drive — and what changes when you send a link instead.
Email attachment
Most mail providers cap attachments at roughly 20–25 MB, and every revision means another email.
Chat app
WhatsApp, Messenger and most chat apps recompress images sent inline, so the other person gets a smaller, softer copy.
Cloud drive
Drive links open a viewer page, not the image itself, so you can't embed them or link to the file directly.
A 99helpers link
The original file, byte for byte, at a link you choose. Password it, see how often it's opened, and replace it at the same link whenever you need to.
Sharing takes about ten seconds
- 1
Drop it
Drag your .avif file onto the box, or pick it from your computer or phone.
- 2
Name the link
Choose the words: q3-report.99helpers.site reads better than a random string.
- 3
Send it anywhere
Paste the link into an email, a chat, a document, a bio or a QR code.
When people share images like this
Sending the full-quality version
Give a client or a printer the original, not a chat-app copy.
Showing work in progress
Share a design or a screenshot that opens straight in the browser.
Using it on another site
Get a direct image URL to paste into a forum, a doc or a CMS.
Sharing with a group
One link in the group chat instead of the image being re-sent and re-compressed.
What people send .avif files for
- Web images where page speed is a priority
- Large hero images and photography on websites
- Replacing JPEG and WebP on performance-sensitive pages
- HDR photography for the web
Before you share your AVIF file
- Check the photo for location data (EXIF) if you'd rather not share where it was taken.
- Crop out anything in the background you don't want seen.
- Resize huge images if people just need to look — or keep them full size if they need to print.
- Use a password for private photos.
Sending the link isn't the end of it
An attachment is gone the moment you press send. A link is still yours: you decide who can open it, what it shows and how long it stays.
Fix it after sending
Upload a corrected version to the same link. Everyone who has it sees the new one; old versions are kept.
Keep it private
Add a password so only the people you give it to can open the link.
Know it was opened
See how many times the link has been visited, so you're not left wondering.
Take it back
Delete it and the link stops working — something you can't do with an email attachment.
Sharing AVIF files: questions
How do I share a .avif file?+
Drop it on this page, choose the words for your link, and publish. You get an address like your-name.99helpers.site to paste into an email, a chat, a document or a QR code. It opens in the browser for whoever clicks it.
Does the person I send it to need an account?+
No. They click the link and see the file — no sign-up, no app, no 'request access'.
Can I share an AVIF file privately?+
Yes. Add a password when you publish and only people you give it to can open the link. You can also ask for a name and email before the file is shown.
What if I need to change the file after sending the link?+
Upload the new version to the same address. Everyone who has the link gets the update, and the previous versions are kept in case you need one back.
Can I share several AVIF files at once?+
Yes. Drop a folder or a .zip instead of a single file and everything goes out under one link, each file at its own address inside it. How much you can upload depends on your plan — the limits are on the pricing page.
Will the image be compressed?+
No. The file is served exactly as uploaded — same size, same quality, same metadata — which is the main difference from sending it through a chat app.
Can I use the link as an image on another website?+
Yes. The link points straight at the image, so it works anywhere an image URL does.
Sharing something else?
Want it online for good?
If the file should stay at a permanent public address — a download page, an embed, part of a site — see host an AVIF image.
