Security on Blip

Updated June 16, 2026

Some files are too important to risk—when sending your personal memories, creative work, or business documents, you need to know they’ll reach the right person safely. That’s why Blip is built for privacy and security from the ground up, giving you a safer, more private way to share.

Your files travel securely

Blip doesn’t store your files on a cloud server or leave them sitting behind public web links. Instead, it transfers data through encrypted tunnels between devices, ensuring only the sender and the recipient can access the files.

Whenever possible, Blip connects devices directly, either over your local network or the internet. If a direct connection isn’t possible, your data is securely routed through our encrypted relay network.

Your transfers are end-to-end encrypted with a mutually authenticated connection (mTLS over TLS 1.3), protecting data against eavesdropping and tampering, making sure no one else can access your files (not even us).

You’re in control

Everyone on Blip signs in with a verified email, so you always know who you’re sharing with. If you’re unsure whether someone is on Blip, simply type their full email address into the search bar—if they’re not already using Blip, you’ll get an option to invite them.

Blip gives you control over who can find and send files to you. You can adjust your visibility in search, ensuring you’re only discoverable by people who know you. And if someone you don’t recognize tries to reach out, you can block them permanently.

We’ve also built protections against spam and abuse, so you won’t receive unwanted file transfers.

Your privacy matters

We don’t store or access your files. We collect as little personal information as possible to make Blip work smoothly and help you if you run into issues. We never sell your personal information.
