Anonymous file upload
Drop it. Copy the link. Walk away.
Most upload sites want your email before they want your file. Anon.Cat wants neither. Drag a file onto the page, get a link, and that is the whole product. Nothing to install, nothing to confirm, nothing that follows you afterwards.
- No account, no email, no confirmation step
- 1 GB per file, 10 GB every 24 hours
- Links expire on their own after 30 days with no download
- Your file gets a random name, and the name it had on your machine is not kept
Upload a file No account. No email. Just the file.
What anonymous actually means here
Plenty of sites use the word and then ask for a login anyway. Here it is literal: there is no registration form on the site at all, so there is nothing for us to connect an upload to.
We do not store your IP address alongside your upload, and we do not keep the filename your file had on your computer, because a filename is often the most identifying thing about it. What we keep is a random name, the size and the time, which is what the service needs in order to serve the file and expire it later.
We are not going to claim we log nothing anywhere, because that would be a lie and you should be suspicious of anyone who says it. Files are delivered by a content network that keeps its own access logs, and we read those for exactly one purpose: to tell whether a link is still being used, so an active file is not deleted out from under you.
Built for the file you want to forget about
The clock is the useful part. A file is removed once it goes 30 days without anybody downloading it, and every download pushes the deadline back. A link people actually use stays alive. A link nobody touches cleans itself up without you having to remember it exists.
Big uploads go up in pieces and resume where they stopped, so a dropped connection on a train or a hotel network does not mean starting the whole thing again.
When people use it
Sending a design file to a client who does not want another login. Getting a video off a phone and onto a laptop. Passing logs to somebody debugging your problem at 2am. Sharing something in a forum thread where handing over your identity to a file host is not part of the deal.
It is the same reason people liked the old anonymous hosts: the transaction is a file for a link, and nothing else is negotiated.
Questions people actually ask
Do I need an account to upload?
No. There is no account system at all, so there is nothing to sign up for, nothing to verify and nothing to delete later.
Is my IP address logged with the file?
No. Your address is not stored with your upload. A short-lived one-way token is used to enforce the 10 GB per 24 hour limit, it cannot be turned back into your address, and it is discarded inside the window.
How big can the file be?
1 GB per file, and 10 GB in total every 24 hours.
How long does the link work?
Until the file goes 30 days without a single download. Each download restarts that clock.
Can I upload from a script?
Yes. There is a simple HTTP API that answers in JSON, CSV, plain text or HTML, so a single curl command is enough.
