Founded 2018

Store, manage, and retrieve files on IPFS using dedicated gateways and developer SDKs

Pricing model

Free Tier, Paid

You can use Pinata to upload, host, and manage files on decentralized IPFS networks without maintaining complex server infrastructure. It provides developer-friendly SDKs and APIs to let your web applications handle file uploads, store off-chain NFT metadata, and access content through high-speed dedicated IPFS gateways. In addition to public IPFS pinning, it offers private network storage, built-in image optimization, and content delivery networks so your application assets load quickly while keeping file distribution reliable, verifiable, and secure.
