FilePizza is a web application for peer-to-peer file transfers directly between browsers using WebRTC, eliminating the need to upload files to an intermediary server. It is built with Next.js, React, and PeerJS, and can be self-hosted via Docker.
Use cases
- send large files to a friend without uploading to a cloud service
- share files privately without a middleman server
- transfer files between two browsers quickly
- self-host a file sharing service
- send files from mobile browser to desktop
When to choose
- you want fast, private transfers where files never touch a server
- you want to self-host a file sharing tool
- you need multi-file transfers with password protection
When to avoid
- the uploader must keep their browser open until the transfer completes
- you need asynchronous sharing where the recipient downloads later
- you need transfers through restrictive NATs without TURN infrastructure
