uncompressed.io

For cinematographers, directors of photography, colorists & studios

The highest-quality video delivery on the internet.

We stream the master file you upload, byte for byte — and nothing anywhere can deliver more than the master. YouTube and Vimeo re-encode your work; we refuse to. For the people chasing absolute perfection: every grain structure, every shadow gradation, every choice you fought for, delivered intact.

No credit card. 1 GB free. Your file is never re-encoded.

What they compress, we keep.

Drag the divider. This is what compression takes from your work.

Same frame, examined at 400%. Right side simulates the bitrate starvation of compressed streaming — watch the grain dissolve, the edges smear, the shadows block up.

Competitor figures are their published or commonly measured delivery bitrates, August 2026. One honest note: because we never re-encode, viewers on slow connections buffer instead of dropping to a mushy 480p. Your audience is other professionals — that's the trade you want.

Shooting ProRes? ProRes 422 HQ runs ~220 Mbps in 1080p and ~880 Mbps in UHD — no web browser can decode ProRes, here or anywhere. Host the ProRes master here for client download, and stream a 100+ Mbps HEVC export beside it: visually identical on any screen.

You didn't shoot RAW to deliver mush.

You shoot X-OCN on a Sony VENICE or FX-series body. Blackmagic RAW on a PYXIS 12K. REDCODE on a KOMODO-X, ARRIRAW on an ALEXA 35, N-RAW, ProRes RAW. You grade in DaVinci Resolve at 32-bit float, finish in 10- or 12-bit, export a 4:2:2 HEVC or H.264 master at 100–200 Mbps — and then a sharing platform throws most of it away at the last step.

Grain and texture survive

Film emulation, halation, sensor texture — the first casualties of bitrate starvation. At master bitrate, the grain you dialed in is the grain they see.

Dynamic range reads

Your shadow detail lives in the bottom stops. Re-encoders crush exactly there. We deliver the gradation your 12-bit finish actually holds.

Lens character stays

Vintage glass, anamorphic falloff, subtle flares — the character clients pay for is fine detail, and fine detail is what compression eats first.

Codecs in, as shot or as finished: H.264/AVC, HEVC/H.265 up to 12-bit 4:2:2, AV1 — streamed natively. ProRes 422/4444 and DNxHR masters: hosted for client download at full fidelity. 4K, 5K, 6K, DCI — resolution is just your file.

Questions professionals ask.

Is uncompressed.io really uncompressed?+

Your file is never re-encoded — we stream the exact bytes you upload. Your export's own codec (HEVC, H.264, AV1) does the compressing once, under your control, at the bitrate you chose. That's the highest quality any platform can deliver: the master itself.

What's the maximum bitrate and resolution?+

There is no platform ceiling below your file. A 4K master at 100 Mbps streams at 100 Mbps; a 6K master at 180 Mbps streams at 180 Mbps. If a browser can decode it, we deliver it untouched.

Which codecs can I upload?+

For streaming: H.264/AVC, HEVC/H.265 (including 10-bit 4:2:2), and AV1 in MP4 or MOV. ProRes and DNxHR masters can be hosted for full-fidelity client download — browsers can't decode ProRes, so stream a high-bitrate HEVC export beside it.

Is there a bandwidth or viewer cap?+

No. Storage is the only meter. Vimeo caps delivery at 2 TB per month and then pushes you to enterprise pricing; our zero-egress architecture means your work streams as often as clients press play.

Does the player show your branding?+

Never — on any plan, free included. Your accent color, your name, your work. The player carries no logo, no feed, no related videos, no ads.

Can I send private client screeners?+

Yes — every video is public, unlisted, or password-protected, on every plan. Client hubs live behind a password you can change or revoke at any time, and clients can download the original file when you allow it.
