What are transfers in Tarkle Send?

Tarkle Send has three transfer types: file, video, and audio. Each creates a branded public page at its own URL (/t/, /v/, /a/). Learn what each type does and when to use it.

Tarkle Send has three types of transfers. Each type gets its own public URL, its own viewing experience, and serves a different purpose. All three are created from the same New Transfer modal inside your workspace.


File Transfer

A file transfer is the standard way to share files. You upload files or folders, or select items already in your workspace, and Tarkle Send generates a shareable link. The recipient opens a branded page that shows the file list, a title, and an optional summary. They can download from there, or preview files in the browser if the format supports it.

File transfer links live at /t/slug.
You can share up to 30 recipients by email in a single transfer, or generate a single link to share however you like. The link opens for anyone with it by default, or you can restrict it with a password, an email gate, or by sending it directly to specific recipients only.


Video Transfer

A video transfer creates a standalone video viewing page. Instead of a file download page, the recipient sees an embedded video player with your branding. You can upload a video file directly (up to 15 GB) or you can paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Wistia, Bunny, or Gumlet.


Video transfer links live at /v/slug.

You can add a custom CTA button, a cover image, a summary, and optionally allow or charge for the video download.


Audio Transfer

An audio transfer creates a standalone audio player page. You upload one or more audio files, and recipients get a branded listening page with a waveform player. You can set the transfer to listen-only, allow free downloads, or charge for downloads via Stripe.


Audio transfer links live at /a/slug.

Audio transfers support multiple tracks and display each track with a waveform visualization. You can set a free preview length and a download price if you are charging for access.


Transfer URLs

Every transfer lives at a unique slug generated at creation time:

  • File transfers: /t/[slug]

  • Video transfers: /v/[slug]

  • Audio transfers: /a/[slug]

The slug is 12 characters for file transfers and is generated automatically. Once created, the system URL does not change, however you can customize public facing URL.
