How the limits work#
Live links
On Free you can hold 20 live links at the same time. It is not a lifetime count: delete a link and you get the slot back. Each file in an album is its own link, so it counts toward this number too.
File size and total storage
The largest single file is the biggest file you can upload at once. Total storage is the sum of every file you keep. On Free both are 100 MB, so one 100 MB file uses all of it. When you delete a link, its file stops counting.
Albums and websites
Free includes 3 albums so you can try them. On any plan, one album holds up to 500 MB, counted inside your total storage. Hosted websites are a Pro feature. See Albums and Host a static website.
Free links do not expire
Features that need Pro#
Everything else, such as uploading, sharing, QR codes, view counts, view-only mode, replacing a file and turning a link off, works on every plan. These features need Pro or Lifetime:
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Password protection | Visitors must enter a password to open the link. |
| Expiry date | The link turns off on a date you pick. |
| Custom link name | Choose the exact address after /p/. |
| Advanced analytics | Where views come from: referrers, devices and countries. |
| Hide branding | Remove the Link in Seconds badge from your public pages. |
| Custom branding | Your logo and accent colour on your link and album pages. |
| Email the link | Send the link to someone by email from Link in Seconds. |
| View limit | Stop a link after a set number of views. |
| Notify on view | Get an email when someone opens your link. |
| Email gate | Ask visitors for their email before they can open the file. |
| Watermark | Add a watermark to view-only PDFs. |
| Comments | Collect feedback and comments on a shared link. |
| Version history | Replacing a file keeps up to 5 earlier versions you can restore. |
| Static websites | Publish a ZIP of a website as a live site. |
| Custom domains | Connect up to 5 of your own domains. |
Pro features are checked on our servers when you turn them on, not only in the app. Most of them are set from a link's settings. See Link settings and controls.
When you hit a limit#
- Out of links: delete a link you no longer need, or upgrade for unlimited links.
- File too large or storage full: the upload stops before anything is published and tells you why. Delete files to make room, or upgrade.
- Leaving Pro: links you already made stay live. Pro-only controls turn off and new links follow the Free limits.
