How do I send a large video file online for free?

Drag your video file onto Rabbitdrop, get a shareable link as soon as the upload finishes, and send it to your recipient. No account required on either end. Works with MP4, MOV, MKV, ProRes, HEVC, and any other video format.

What video formats can I transfer with Rabbitdrop?

Rabbitdrop transfers any video format including MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, MTS, ProRes (.mov), HEVC, BRAW (Blackmagic RAW), R3D (RED), CRM (Canon Cinema RAW Light), and more.

Can I send a 4K video file without compression?

Yes. Rabbitdrop transfers your video file as-is — no transcoding, no re-encoding, no quality loss. The recipient downloads the exact file you uploaded.

Is there a faster way to send large video files than email or a cloud drive?

Yes. Rabbitdrop streams directly to Cloudflare's global edge network, which typically means faster upload speeds, and no account is needed to send or to download. Email attachments are capped at roughly 25 MB — a few seconds of 4K — while Rabbitdrop sends far larger transfers. Every plan does have a limit on the total size of one transfer, including the free tier; see the pricing page for current figures.

Q: Can I pause a video upload and resume it later?

Yes. Rabbitdrop uploads video files in parts, so Pause stops the transfer immediately and Resume continues from the part it stopped at. A dropped connection or a sleeping machine recovers automatically, and if the tab was closed you can reopen Rabbitdrop within 24 hours and select the same video — only the parts that never reached storage are uploaded again.

Pause & Resume

A long video upload you can stop and continue

A ProRes master or a folder of BRAW dailies can take hours to go up — long enough for the connection to hiccup, the machine to sleep, or for you to need the upstream bandwidth for a review call. Rabbitdrop sends every video in parts, so an interrupted transfer resumes instead of restarting.

Free the upstream when you need it

Press Pause before a client review or a live call and the upload stops right there. Press Resume afterwards and it continues from the same part.

Overnight uploads survive the night

If the network blips or the machine dozes off mid-transfer, the upload waits and resumes on its own — you don't come back to a 0% progress bar in the morning.

Closed the tab by accident?

Reopen Rabbitdrop within 24 hours and select the same video. Everything that already went up stays up; only the missing parts are sent.

Switch machines mid-delivery

Signed in, you can start on the edit bay and finish from a laptop on a faster line — select the same file there and the remaining parts go up.

Resuming is checked against storage, not guesswork: Rabbitdrop confirms which parts actually landed before skipping anything, and re-uploads the file from scratch if it isn't byte-for-byte the one you started with. Your video is still delivered exactly as exported — no transcoding, no re-encoding. More on resumable uploads.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send a 4K video file for free? +

Yes, within the free limits: a transfer can total 1 GB without an account (2 GB a day), or any size with a free account up to 10 GB a day — enough for 4K clips but not a full master. Paid plans carry 100 GB to 500 GB per transfer with no daily cap.

Will my video be re-encoded or compressed? +

No. Rabbitdrop transfers your video as-is — no transcoding, no re-encoding, no quality changes. The recipient downloads the exact file you uploaded.

Does the recipient need a Rabbitdrop account to download? +

No. They click the link and download directly in their browser. Nothing to install, no account to create.

Can I pause a video upload and continue it later? +

Yes. Pause stops the transfer immediately and Resume continues from the part it stopped at. A dropped connection or a sleeping machine recovers automatically, and if the tab was closed you can reopen Rabbitdrop within 24 hours and select the same video to continue. See how it works.

How long is my video available after upload? +

Files stay active during the window set by your plan. On plans that include it, they then enter a paid recovery period before permanent hard deletion. Check the pricing page for exact retention per plan.
