What makes this create direct link tool different

More than a file host — every upload ships with the sharing surfaces teams actually use.

True direct download URL

Every upload gets a real direct file URL that points at the stored file, plus a clean public share page. Choose the raw link for downloads or the page for context.

Clear retention rules

Direct links stay live as long as the upload exists, so READMEs, documentation, and stored references keep working months later.

Embeds and QR included

Alongside the direct link you get Markdown, HTML, and BBCode embeds plus QR PNG and SVG assets for distribution beyond the raw URL.

How it works

ShareKit keeps the upload, public URL, analytics, and QR generation in one workflow.

Step 1
Upload your file
Choose any supported file type up to 100MB.
Step 2
Create the direct link
ShareKit stores the file and generates a stable managed download URL.
Step 3
Share and measure
Copy the link or QR code, then track views, downloads, and scans.

Step-by-step guide

Everything the create direct link workflow does, in plain language.

Create direct link for downloads, embeds, and QR codes. Upload a file and get a stable managed link that recipients can open or download without an account. QR assets and embed snippets are included with every upload. The workflow is the same for every file: upload once, and ShareKit returns a public share page, a direct URL, copy-ready embed snippets, and QR code assets — no account required for lightweight uploads.

Here is the step-by-step process for the create direct link workflow. Step 1, upload your file: Choose any supported file type up to 100MB. Step 2, create the direct link: ShareKit stores the file and generates a stable managed download URL. Step 3, share and measure: Copy the link or QR code, then track views, downloads, and scans. Because everything happens in one upload, there is no separate step for building the URL, generating the embed code, or producing the QR code — they are all created together.

Teams use this workflow for share files in chat, email, docs, and social posts, publish downloadable assets without bulky attachments, print qr codes for events, classrooms, stores, and handouts. The direct URL works in chat, email, docs, and social posts, while the QR assets make the same file shareable in print — menus, packaging, signage, handouts, and event materials. Views, downloads, and QR scans are tracked on every public page, so you can measure which channels actually get used.

Move from attachment sharing to measurable links
