Share .mxf files
Send an MXF file as a link, not an attachment
Drop your .mxf file, name the link and send it. They download the original in one click — no attachment limit, no shared-drive permissions, nothing converted along the way.
- One-click download of the untouched original
- No attachment limit, no 'request access'
- Replace it later and the same link shows the new version
Drop the MXF 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 MXF file as a link?
Video is where chat apps do the most damage: they shrink it, recompress it and cap its length. Email won't carry it at all. A link sends the file as you exported it, and for common formats it plays right in the browser — no app, no account, no drive folder.
Usually you'd be sending it to a client, a friend, a teacher or a teammate. 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 .mxf file (Material Exchange Format video) downloads straight away, exactly as you uploaded it, ready to open in Premiere Pro or whatever they use for .mxf files.
What they need
- Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer and DaVinci Resolve
- VLC, for many MXF variants
- Broadcast playout and archive systems
- No account — the download starts from the link
Sending a MXF file: link vs. the usual ways
What happens to a .mxf 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 video and cap its size, so it arrives blurry or not at all.
Cloud drive
Drives often need time to 'process' a video before it plays, and the viewer needs access first.
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 .mxf 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 videos like this
Sending a draft cut
Let a client watch the edit at full quality, not a chat-app copy.
Sharing a screen recording
Send a walkthrough or a bug report as one link that plays.
Handing in coursework
Give a teacher a video that opens instead of an attachment that bounces.
Sharing a short clip
Post a link in a group chat without the clip being recompressed.
What people send .mxf files for
- Broadcast camera footage
- Delivery masters for television
- Post-production interchange between facilities
- Archive material in broadcast libraries
Before you share your MXF file
- Export as MP4 (H.264) if you want it to play in every browser.
- Trim and compress long recordings to fit the size limit.
- Check the first frame — it's what people see before pressing play.
- Use a password for unreleased or private footage.
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 MXF files: questions
How do I share a .mxf 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. Whoever clicks it gets the file as a download.
Does the person I send it to need an account?+
No account is needed. They click the link and the file downloads; to open it they'll need Premiere Pro or another app that reads .mxf files.
Can I share an MXF 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 MXF 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 it play in the browser?+
MP4, WebM and most MOV files play straight in the browser. Other formats download, so export as MP4 if you want everyone to be able to watch.
Will the video be compressed?+
No. It's served exactly as you exported it — unlike chat apps, which recompress video before delivering it.
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 MXF video file.
