## Documentation

## Overview

PicoShare is a minimalist service that allows you to share files easily.

## Why PicoShare?

There are a million services for sharing files, but none of them are quite like PicoShare. Here are PicoShare's advantages:

- **Direct download links**: PicoShare gives you a direct download link you can share with anyone. They can view or download the file with no ads or signups.
- **No file restrictions**: Unlike sites like imgur, Vimeo, or SoundCloud that only allow you to share specific types of files, PicoShare lets you share any file of any size.
- **No resizing/re-encoding**: If you upload media like images, video, or audio, PicoShare never forces you to wait on re-encoding. You get a direct download link as soon as you upload the file, and PicoShare never resizes or re-encodes your file.
