Files on Arweave are stored by hundreds of independent nodes worldwide, with an endowment that pays for storage for at least 200 years — designed to outlive any single company, including this one.

Storage costs on Arweave are pennies per megabyte, paid once. We add a fee for doing the heavy lifting: the wallet, the AR tokens, and the upload for you. The exact total is shown before you pay.

You can. The nerd in me says you should... But it means installing a wallet, buying AR tokens on an exchange, and using developer tooling or a more complicated site. Permaweb.app does all of that behind the scenes and takes the coins you already have. If you are only uploading a file or two, and your time is worth more than $1/hour, permaweb.app is the fast, cheap, and reliable solution.
