How Digital Video Archive works

Digital Video Archive is an online home for video and audio recordings. Upload home movies, events and recordings, get automatic chapters and thumbnails, and share them privately with family, friends or clients, who watch for free on any device.

  1. Step 1: Upload

    Add videos and audio recordings straight from your computer, up to 20 GB per file.

  2. Step 2: We do the work

    Every video DVA gets automatic chapters and thumbnails, so finding the moment you want takes seconds.

  3. Step 3: Share or deliver

    Invite people by email. Each one gets their own free viewer account, and sees only what you shared.

  4. Step 4: Watch anywhere

    DVAs play on any computer, tablet or phone, and you can download your own whenever you like.

Frequently asked questions

What is a DVA?

A DVA is a video or audio recording stored in your Digital Video Archive. Video DVAs get automatic chapters and thumbnails, every DVA plays on any computer, tablet or phone, and you decide who else can watch it.

Do the people I share with have to pay?

No. Sharing a DVA emails the person an invitation, and the Viewer account it creates for them is free. They can watch everything you share with them, on any device.

What files can I upload?

Video in MP4, MOV or MKV format, and audio in MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC or FLAC format, up to 20 GB per file.

Who can see my DVAs?

Only you and the people you choose to share them with. Nothing you upload is public, and featuring a DVA in Showcase never lets anyone watch it who could not already.

How does the 20-day free trial work?

New accounts can try the Creator plan free for 20 days. A card is collected up front so your plan continues without interruption, but nothing is charged until day 21, and you can cancel any time before then. The trial is one per account.

Is annual billing cheaper?

Yes. A year costs the same as 10 months, so annual billing gives you 2 months free.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Yes, from your account at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and you pay the difference right away. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and the unused part of that period is not refunded.

What if I need more storage?

Any paid plan can add 100 GB for $5 a month ($50 a year), as many times as you need.

Can I download my videos?

Yes. You can download any DVA in your Library as a file, so your recordings are never locked in.

I had an account on the original Digital Video Archive. How do I sign in?

Sign in with the same email address. The first time, you will be asked to set a new password, and your DVAs will be waiting for you.

Give your videos a home, and an audience.

Try the Creator plan free for 20 days, or start with a free Viewer account.
