PhotonFile - Pricing
Transparent pricing for Ephemeral File Transfer - a live, in-memory relay that never stores your data by default. No subscriptions required. No tracking. No storage layer.
PhotonFile is built to forget, not to remember. Your privacy isn't a feature, it's the foundation.

Only consumed on success
Your File Pass is only marked as consumed when both peers finish sending all required bytes through the relay and nothing remains in flight.
Unlimited retries
Retry as many times as needed if something interrupts the transfer. Retry counts exist to improve reliability, not to throttle you.
Ephemeral by design
No accounts required for the free tier. No analytics beacons. No storage layer on relay nodes. The file data lives in memory only for the moments it is in transit.
During a transfer that uses a File Pass, the pass will temporarily be hidden in your dashboard while it is in a pending-use state. If the transfer fails, it becomes visible and usable again.
