No proprietary formats. No export fees. No broken embeds.
Your videos, your choice.
"We earn your business every month. We don't trap you into it."
How video platforms trap you (and why we don't)
Competitive rates, easy signup, great features. Everything looks perfect.
"This is exactly what we need!"
You upload your entire video library. Your embeds are everywhere. Your customers depend on it.
"Our whole platform runs on this now."
Prices increase. Features disappear. But switching means re-uploading everything, broken embeds, and downtime you can't afford.
"We're trapped. They know it. We know it."
The industry playbook for trapping customers
Custom video encoding that only works with their platform
Making it technically difficult or impossible to bulk download
Charging thousands of dollars to export your own videos
Your video URLs stop working the moment you cancel
Sudden viral video? Pay up or get shut down
Deliberately complex export process requiring developer time
Once they have your data, they have you.
How we guarantee you can leave
"We earn your business every month. We don't trap you into it."
Bulk download all your videos and metadata
MP4 and HLS that work everywhere
Programmatic access to all your data
Grace period for smooth transitions
Never pay to access your own data
Written commitment to standards
We believe in fair partnerships. You should choose us because we're the best option, not because leaving is too painful. That's why we make data portability a core feature, not an afterthought. Your success shouldn't depend on our lock-in tactics.
(Hopefully never, but here's how easy it is)
One button in your dashboard
Select all videos or specific folders. Choose format preferences. Hit export.
Videos + metadata as standard files
Get MP4 files, HLS playlists, CSV with all metadata, thumbnails, and captions. Everything organized and ready.
Works with any platform or self-host
Standard formats mean you can upload to any video platform, or host yourself. No conversion needed.
Keep old URLs working during migration
Take your time. No rush. Old embeds keep working while you transition. Smooth, not disruptive.
No fees. No barriers. No drama.
We make it this easy on purpose. Because we're confident you'll want to stay.

Commitments we put in writing
Written in our Terms of Service
We commit to using only industry-standard formats (MP4, HLS). No proprietary encoding. Ever. This isn't marketing—it's a legal commitment we can't change without notice.
Zero cost to access your data
You will never be charged to export your videos, metadata, or analytics. It's your data. Charging you to access it would be extortion, not business. We won't do it.
You own your content, not us
We're a hosting service, not a content owner. You retain all rights to your videos. We can't claim ownership, restrict access, or prevent you from taking your content elsewhere.
90-day notice for material changes
If we ever need to change our data portability policies, we'll give 90 days notice. No surprise policy changes. No bait-and-switch. You'll have time to decide if you want to stay.
Business situations change. You need flexibility, not handcuffs.
New owners might want different infrastructure. You need to be able to move.
Business conditions change. You shouldn't be trapped by technical barriers.
Maybe you scale to the point where self-hosting makes sense. We won't stop you.
If our service degrades or we can't meet your needs, you deserve an exit ramp.
Make decisions based on value, not fear.
We compete on being better, not on making it painful to leave.
