Send files

Heavy files, handled lightly.

Tarn moves film cuts, raw shoots and whole archives between studios: quick on any line, private by default, gone on the day you choose.

  • 2 TB per send
  • Links that expire
  • No account to receive

Big work shouldn’t travel by email. We built Tarn for people whose files are too heavy to attach: editors, photographers, sound designers, archivists. Drop a folder, share a link, get on with the day. Nothing to install on the other end, and nothing kept a minute longer than you want.

Ines Marlow, founder

One quiet place for everything heavy.

Six tools that share one idea: the file goes where it should, looks right when it lands and leaves when it’s done.

Transfers

Send up to 2 TB in one go. If the line drops, the upload waits and carries on where it stopped.

Up to 2 TB

Review links

Clients watch, listen and leave notes in the browser, pinned to the exact frame or second.

Frame-accurate

Archive

Finished projects rest in cold storage for a fraction of the price and wake up in minutes.

Wakes in minutes

Vaults

Shared spaces for a crew, with roles that end on the day the job does.

Roles that end

Delivery pages

Your logo, your colours and your own domain on every link you send.

Watch folders

Drop files into a folder on your machine and Tarn sends them on by itself.

Any folder

From drop to done.

Four moves, and the last one happens without you. Whatever you set once stays set for the next send.

Try it now

  1. Drop

    Drag a file, a folder or a whole drive onto Tarn. It checks every byte while it climbs.

  2. Choose who

    Add a few emails or copy a link. Set a password, a download limit and an end date.

  3. They receive

    No account and no app: a clean page with a preview and one button.

  4. It fades

    On the end date the files are wiped. You get a receipt, not a leftover.

A 60 GB folder, door to door.

Talk to us

Said by people who send a lot.

Producers, colourists, photographers and archivists on why they stopped shipping drives.

  • We stopped shipping drives to Lisbon. The dailies land before the coffee does.

    Marta CoutoProducer, Onda Films

  • The link page is so plain my clients think I built it myself. That is the whole point.

    Ravi MenonPhotographer

  • Two terabytes over a line that kept dropping, and not a single restart.

    Hanne LindColourist

  • End dates are my favourite feature. Nothing lingers on a server I forgot about.

    Oskar WeilArchivist, Stadsarchief

  • It feels like a tool, not a platform. I open it, send, and close it again.

    June ParkSound designer

  • Our interns understood it without a word from me. That never happens.

    Leo BassiStudio manager, Vetro

Questions, answered plainly.

Can’t find yours? Ask the crew and we’ll add it here.

None. Camera raw, ProRes, stems, scans, disk images: if it is a file, Tarn moves it, and previews open for the common formats.

No. They open a link, see what you sent and download it. An account only helps if they want to send something back.

The files are wiped from our servers within the hour and you get a receipt that says so. Archived projects are kept until you delete them.

In data centres in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, encrypted in transit and at rest. Nothing is used to train anything, ever.

Yes. Close the lid, change networks, come back tomorrow: the upload continues from the last finished piece.

Half price on every plan. Write to us from your organisation’s address and we will switch it on.

Talk to a person.

Big projects, odd formats, a link that will not open: write to us and someone from the crew answers within a working day.
