You finished the shoot, edited the photos, exported the finals — and now you need to get 15GB of high-resolution images to your client. What should be the easiest part of the job turns into the most frustrating. Email rejects the files. iMessage compresses them. WeTransfer caps you at 2GB. The client does not have a Dropbox account and does not want one.

This is the exact problem Stash was designed to solve.

The Three-Step Delivery Process

Stash reduces file delivery to its simplest form:

1. Upload your files from iPhone, iPad, or Mac
2. Copy the share link
3. Send the link to your client

That is it. The client clicks the link, downloads full-quality files in their browser, and never needs to create an account or install an app.

Why Creatives Choose Stash Over Alternatives

No Compression, Ever

Stash stores and delivers your files exactly as uploaded. Your 4K video, RAW photos, layered PSD files, and lossless audio arrive at the client’s device bit-for-bit identical to what left yours. No re-encoding, no quality reduction, no format conversion.

No File Size Limits

A 50GB wedding video? A 30GB RAW gallery? Upload the entire thing. No splitting files, no worrying about size caps.

No Recipient Friction

This is the feature creatives appreciate most. Your client does not need:

• A Stash account
• An app download
• A password
• Technical knowledge

They receive a link. They click it. They download. If your grandmother can open a web link, she can download your files.

End-to-End Encryption

Every file is encrypted on your device before upload using AES-256-GCM. The encryption key is embedded in the share link and never stored on Stash’s servers. This means:

• Stash cannot see your files
• A server breach exposes nothing readable
• Your client’s unreleased work stays confidential

For photographers handling wedding photos, videographers with brand campaigns, or designers with pre-launch materials, this level of privacy is not a luxury — it is a responsibility.

Links That Don’t Expire

WeTransfer free links expire after 7 days. Smash links expire after 14 days. Stash links never expire — the file stays accessible until you decide to delete it. No panicked re-uploads because a client did not download in time.

Real-World Use Cases

Wedding photographer: Delivers 800 edited photos (12GB) to the couple. They share the link with family members who want prints. The link works months later when the couple decides to order an album.

Freelance videographer: Sends a 4K brand video (8GB) to a marketing manager. The manager forwards the link to their design team. Everyone downloads the original quality — no “which version is this?” confusion.

Graphic designer: Delivers print-ready files (layered AI, PDF, and preview JPEGs) to a client. The client downloads on their Windows PC. No compatibility issues, no format conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Stash free?

Stash offers a free tier for getting started. A Pro subscription unlocks unlimited file sharing for creatives who deliver files regularly.

Can I share folders or just individual files?

You can upload and share individual files. For multi-file deliveries, clients can download each shared file from the links you provide.

What if my client is on Android or Windows?

Stash recipients download through any web browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge. It works on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, or any device with a browser.

How fast are uploads?

Upload speed depends on your internet connection and file size. Stash uploads in the background, so you can continue using your device while files transfer. The encryption happens locally on your device and adds negligible overhead.
