Storage for every file - with smart image previews built in
Store documents, media, and user uploads with encryption, compression, and on-the-fly image transformations. Same project as Auth and databases—no separate media stack just to ship responsive images.
Serve the right image for every screen
Request resized, cropped, and format-optimized previews from one stored file—ideal for avatars, catalogs, and user-generated content—without running a separate image delivery service on the side.


Fast uploads, lighter transfers
Chunked uploads handle large video and design files, while compression and preview parameters keep everyday images efficient on browsers and mobile networks.

Protect your files and set permissions
Encrypt files at rest and enforce per-user and team permissions—so private uploads stay private, not just hidden behind a public URL pattern.

The switch to using Appwrite brought infinite value that I'm still discovering today, but a major impact that it made was the amount of time and stress that it saved me as it simply just works.
We really loved working with Appwrite for launching our bootstrapped "Open Mind" App. I am still surprised how easy the implementation into Flutter was.
The integrated user authentication and the ease of creating data structures have undoubtedly saved us several weeks' worth of time.
Just go for it, don’t think twice. Try Appwrite, and you will love it!
Just like a Swiss Army Knife, you can choose and use the tools that you need with Appwrite.
We have somewhere between 200,000 to 600,000 function executions per day. It's especially nice that you guys have to deal with the scaling now and not me.
Powered by open source
Appwrite is a 100% open source project. Storage runs alongside Auth, databases, and Functions in one stack—so your files and previews live in the same control plane as the rest of your backend.
