Share .pfm files
Share your PFM file in one link
Drop your .pfm 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 PFM 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 PFM file as a link?
Specialist image formats are exactly the ones that break in transit: chat apps won't preview them, some services convert them, and email may reject the size. A link delivers the original file untouched, as a one-click download, to someone who has the right tool to open it.
Usually you'd be sending it to a colleague or specialist with the software to open the format. They don't need an account, and you don't need to know which app or device they'll open it on.

Here's the PFM file 👇
Tap to download the original
Got it, opened fine on my phone 👍
On their side
What the person you send it to sees
They tap the link and the .pfm file (Portable float map image) downloads straight away, exactly as you uploaded it, ready to open in OpenCV and image processing libraries or whatever they use for .pfm files.
What they need
- OpenCV and image processing libraries
- MATLAB and NumPy
- ImageMagick
- No account — the download starts from the link
Sending a PFM file: link vs. the usual ways
What happens to a .pfm 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
Chat apps can't preview the format and may compress or reject it.
Cloud drive
Drives rarely preview these formats and may not keep the original untouched in their viewer.
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 .pfm 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 image files like this
Sending to a specialist
Get the untouched original to someone with the right software.
Archiving a copy
Keep the source file at an address you can find again.
Sharing alongside a preview
Send the original next to a PNG anyone can open.
Passing between tools
Move a file from one machine or app to another without a cloud drive.
What people send .pfm files for
- Depth and disparity maps in computer vision
- HDR data in research pipelines
- Optical flow fields
- Stereo vision benchmark data
Before you share your PFM file
- Confirm the recipient has software that opens the format.
- Include a PNG or JPEG preview for anyone who just needs to look.
- Check for metadata you'd rather not share.
- Use a password for anything sensitive.
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 PFM files: questions
How do I share a .pfm 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 OpenCV and image processing libraries or another app that reads .pfm files.
Can I share a PFM 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 PFM 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.
Is the file converted?+
No. It's delivered exactly as uploaded, which matters for formats where conversion loses data.
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 a Portable Float Map (PFM).
