IPFS pinning keeps your content persistently available on the IPFS network. Without pinning, files can eventually be garbage-collected by IPFS nodes. Pinning ensures your files stay accessible at their content address as long as they're pinned.

Traditional cloud storage puts your files on one company's servers. IPFS pinning distributes your content across a decentralized network of independent providers. Your file gets a content address: a unique, verifiable link that doesn't depend on any single provider staying online.

Content addresses are permanent. The hash of your file never changes. Your data stays online as long as it's pinned. We keep your pins active and distributed across multiple hosts for reliability.

If you unpin content, it may eventually be garbage-collected by the network. Other nodes may still have copies if they've pinned it independently. For private storage where deletes are definitive, see our S3-compatible storage option.

Yes. Crypto and credit card. No identity verification required for crypto payments.

Pay for storage and bandwidth. No hidden fees, no API call charges.

Yes. We can help you migrate your existing pins. Content addresses stay the same across providers. They're content hashes, not proprietary URLs. See how Pinner is different or reach out and we'll work with you on the transition.

Your pins are distributed across multiple independent storage hosts, not one server. If individual hosts go down, other copies keep your content available. Founding accounts get a personal setup guarantee: pin your content and if it isn't reachable in 5 minutes, we'll pin it for you.
