Tired of File Size Limits? This Open Source Tool Sends Large Files Directly Browser to Browser

It's FOSS, Tuesday, June 9th, 2026

CheezyPizza is an open-source WebRTC tool for direct browser-to-browser file transfers with no size limits.

CheezyPizza is a free, open-source peer-to-peer file transfer tool using WebRTC for direct, encrypted browser-to-browser sharing without server intermediaries or size restrictions.

Improving on its predecessor FilePizza, it supports files larger than 10 GB, offers pause-and-resume with progress saved locally, and adds flow control to avoid overwhelming the network. No account or installation is needed: users upload a file, share a link or QR code, and the transfer happens directly between browsers.

Testing showed reliable transfers up to 7 MBps and successful resumption of interrupted downloads, though the uploader must stay online or the link goes inactive.
