Yes. For a small creative studio selling things like design assets, fonts, presets, templates, sample packs, videos, photo packs, 3D files, courses, or large ZIP downloads, there are several platforms built specifically for this.

The best fit depends on whether you want a simple storefront, your own branded shop, or strong file delivery/security.

Good options for a creative studio

For a small creative studio, I’d usually narrow it down like this:

If you sell huge files

Examples:

• 5–50 GB video packs
• RAW photo libraries
• 3D assets
• audio libraries
• project files

Look at SendOwl first. It is designed around digital delivery and specifically highlights large file support, secure delivery, and products like video, audio, PDFs, templates, and software. SendOwl SendOwl

If you want a beautiful mini-store under your own brand

Look at Fourthwall or Shopify. Fourthwall supports digital products such as MP3s, PDFs, ZIP files, and more, with a storefront builder aimed at creators. Fourthwall

If you sell creative tools/products repeatedly

Examples:

• Lightroom presets
• fonts
• Figma/UI kits
• After Effects templates
• plugins
• assets with licenses

Consider Lemon Squeezy because it supports file hosting, variants, subscriptions, and license-key workflows. LemonSqueezy

A setup many small studios use

A practical stack:

• Website: Webflow / Framer / Squarespace
• Checkout + delivery: SendOwl or Lemon Squeezy
• Email list: ConvertKit / Mailchimp
• File storage backup: cloud storage (for your own archive)

This keeps your brand in control instead of making your studio dependent on a marketplace.

If you tell me what kind of files you’re selling (video, photography, fonts, templates, 3D, music, etc.) and roughly how large they are (100 MB vs 20 GB+), I can narrow this to 2–3 best choices.

Yes. sendowl.com is particularly well suited: it sells individual digital products, supports ZIP/video/audio/files, provides secure download links, and handles large files. SendOwl SendOwl Help Center

Another option is lemonsqueezy.com, especially if you want payments/tax handling built in. LemonSqueezy

For a small creative studio selling occasional large downloadable assets, I’d investigate SendOwl first.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, audio, design assets, templates, or high-res files—there are several platforms that can handle the whole transaction: storefront/checkout, payment, file hosting, and delivery.

The ones I'd look at

SendOwl stands out for your use case

If by "large files" you mean something like 2–20+ GB project files, video packages, audio libraries, photo collections, 3D assets, or large ZIP archives, I'd investigate SendOwl first.

It specifically supports individual digital products and bundles, secure download pages, expiring links, download limits, PDF protection, and file updates. Its current small-business plans range from a 5 GB max file size on Launch to 15 GB on Pro, while higher business plans go up to 50 GB per file. SendOwl Help Center SendOwl SendOwl

sendowl.com

Lemon Squeezy is another interesting option: it allows multiple files per product and up to 5 GB total per product, with secure delivery after purchase. Lemon Squeezy Docs

lemonsqueezy.com

For a creative studio, I'd think about it this way

• "We have our own website and just need checkout + delivery" → SendOwl
• "We sell digital assets and want tax/payment infrastructure handled for us" → Lemon Squeezy
• "We want the absolute simplest creator storefront" → Gumroad
• "We're building a full ecommerce brand with physical products too" → Shopify

One important distinction: file size isn't the only issue. For a studio, I'd also look closely at bandwidth/download costs, whether customers can re-download purchases, version updates, license/usage terms, VAT/sales-tax handling, and whether you can make the checkout feel like your studio's rather than a marketplace.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. fonts, photography, video, music, 3D assets, PDFs), typical file size, and whether you already have a website, I can narrow this down to 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing.

It specifically supports individual digital products and bundles, secure download pages, expiring links, download limits, PDF protection, and file updates. Its current small-business plans range from a 5 GB max file size on Launch to 15 GB on Pro, while higher business plans go up to 50 GB per file.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, photo packs, etc.—there are a few good options.

My shortlist

• payhip.com — probably the best simple starting point.

You can sell individual products through a hosted storefront or embed checkout into your existing site. It has no overall storage/bandwidth limit and a 5 GB per-file limit, with multiple files per product. Payhip Help Center Payhip
It also has download limits and PDF stamping, which is useful for creative assets. Payhip Help Center

• sendowl.com — best if the files are genuinely large.

It's more of a digital-delivery/commerce infrastructure layer than a creator marketplace. SendOwl says it supports unlimited storage and files of any size, plus expiring links, download limits, PDF stamping, streaming, license keys, and embedded checkout. SendOwl SendOwl
This is particularly attractive if you already have a studio website and just need excellent checkout + file delivery.

• lemonsqueezy.com — good for polished digital commerce.

It supports unlimited files per product, but the total files attached to one product are limited to 5 GB, so it's less compelling if you're selling huge creative packages. Lemon Squeezy Docs

What I'd choose

If you're a small creative studio rather than an individual creator, I'd narrow it down to:

One important distinction: if by "large files" you mean something like 10–50+ GB project files, I would not build the business around a typical creator storefront with a 5 GB ceiling. I'd look at a checkout platform that hands customers off to a dedicated large-file delivery system, or use SendOwl's large-file approach.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. fonts, Lightroom presets, video packs, 3D assets, PSDs, music, templates) and typical file size (500 MB / 5 GB / 50 GB+), I can recommend the best setup and compare fees + customer experience + file limits for 3–5 platforms.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, audio, design assets, templates, etc.—there are several good options.

My shortlist

• sendowl.com — probably the best fit for your description. It is specifically built around selling and securely delivering digital files rather than being a giant ecommerce platform. You can sell individual products, bundles, subscriptions, or streaming content. It also supports payment links, embedded checkout, download limits, expiring links, PDF stamping, and other protection. SendOwl SendOwl Help Center

• Particularly good for large files: SendOwl currently says it has no file-size limit on its plans, with dashboard uploads up to 1 GB and larger files uploaded via SFTP. Its business plans advertise files up to 50 GB. SendOwl Help Center SendOwl
• You don't need to build a full ecommerce site; you can use a SendOwl storefront/product page or embed checkout into your existing site. SendOwl Help Center
• lemonsqueezy.com — excellent if you want a polished, modern checkout. It supports digital downloads, subscriptions, software, etc., and handles tax/VAT as part of its merchant-of-record model. Each product can contain up to 5 GB total of files, with multiple files supported. Lemon Squeezy Docs LemonSqueezy

• I'd favor this if your studio sells things like fonts, plugins, templates, digital tools, presets, or software and you care about international tax handling.
• gumroad.com — easiest if you want something extremely simple. It's more creator/marketplace-oriented and works well when you just want to create a product, upload the file, set a price, and share a link. I'd choose it for convenience rather than for sophisticated large-file delivery.

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If your setup is something like:

Studio website → product page → Buy → customer gets a 5–30 GB ZIP/video/design package

I'd look at SendOwl first.

It's closer to a digital-product fulfillment layer than a traditional ecommerce store. You can keep your studio's existing website/branding and let SendOwl handle payment + secure delivery. It also has useful studio-specific features such as bundles, product updates to previous customers, download restrictions, and secure/expiring links. SendOwl Help Center SendOwl Help Center

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. photography packs, video assets, fonts, templates, music, courses), typical file size, and whether you already have a website, I can narrow it down to the 2–3 best platforms and compare their actual costs/fees.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large asset files—there are several good options. The main distinction is whether you want a simple storefront or something more like a branded digital-commerce system.

My shortlist

For your use case, I'd start with Payhip or Gumroad.

Payhip is probably the better fit if you're a studio rather than an individual creator: it gives you a storefront, product pages, digital delivery, discounts, and other ecommerce features without requiring you to build a whole Shopify store. Payhip itself positions the platform around selling everything from art and ebooks to software and other digital products. payhip.comgumroad.comstackdrawer.com

Gumroad is the "I just want to put this thing up for sale" option. It handles checkout and delivery, supports product versions, and can deliver files directly to purchasers. gumroad.com Its current direct-sale pricing is relatively high—roughly 10% + $0.50 per transaction—but there's no monthly subscription. stackdrawer.com

One important question: how large are the files?

If you're talking about things like:

• 500 MB–2 GB design packs
• 5–20 GB video/photo assets
• large ZIP archives
• fonts, 3D assets, project files
• downloadable creative libraries

I'd pay particular attention to file-size limits, bandwidth, download security, and whether the platform lets you split/host large packages. "Supports digital products" doesn't necessarily mean it's ideal for very large studio assets.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. Lightroom presets, fonts, video assets, 3D files, templates, courses) and the typical file size (500 MB? 10 GB? 50 GB?), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best platforms and compare their current pricing/limits.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large files like video, audio, design assets, presets, templates, or ZIP bundles—there are several good options.

My shortlist

SendOwl is particularly interesting for your use case. It supports essentially any file type, including video, audio, software and archives, and currently doesn't impose a file-size limit on its plans; files up to 1 GB can be uploaded through the dashboard and larger files through SFTP. SendOwl Help Center

For a creative studio, I'd probably narrow it to:

• SendOwl — if the product delivery is the important part and files may be very large.
• Payhip — if you want a lightweight storefront + checkout + digital delivery without building much yourself. Its free plan currently takes 5% per sale, with paid tiers reducing that fee. payhip.com toolincomelab.com
• Gumroad — if you want the absolute simplest "here's our product, buy it" experience and don't mind the higher 10% + $0.50 direct-sale fee. stackdrawer.com

One important distinction

If by "large files" you mean something like 5–50 GB video projects, sample libraries, photography collections, or huge asset packs, I'd put file delivery ahead of storefront features. That's where SendOwl becomes much more compelling than the typical creator platforms.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. fonts, LUTs, video, photography, music, 3D assets), typical file size, product price, and whether you already have a website, I can recommend the best 2–3 and compare their actual costs.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, fonts, 3D files, etc.—there are several good options.

My shortlist

Payhip is particularly interesting for a small studio. It lets you sell individual digital products, supports ZIPs/video/audio/etc., has no storage or bandwidth limit, and allows up to 5 GB per individual file. You can also embed its checkout into your existing studio website rather than making Payhip your entire website. Payhip Help Center Payhip

If your files are routinely 5–20 GB, I'd lean toward Sellfy. Its current documentation says individual files can be up to 10 GB on Starter and 20 GB on Business/Premium, with up to 50 files per product and unlimited bandwidth. Sellfy Help Center Sellfy

Gumroad is still attractive if you want the absolute minimum setup. Paid products can have files up to 16 GB, and you can attach multiple files to a product. Gumroad

Lemon Squeezy is more appealing if you're selling things like software, licenses, templates, or products internationally and want stronger commerce infrastructure. It supports unlimited files per product, but the total is currently 5 GB per product, so I wouldn't choose it for huge creative packages. Lemon Squeezy Docs

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If your model is something like:

Studio website → product page → $20–$200 purchase → customer immediately downloads a 2–15 GB asset

I'd narrow it to:

1. Payhip — if files are ≤5 GB and you want cheap/simple.
2. Sellfy — if large files are central to the business.
3. Gumroad — if you care more about simplicity and creator-oriented selling/discovery.

There's also a fourth approach worth considering: your own website + Stripe/PayPal + cloud storage, where the checkout and customer experience are yours and the platform simply handles payment and secure delivery. That's more flexible, but considerably more technical.

If you tell me what you're selling (e.g. video packs, fonts, 3D assets, templates, photography, music, courses), typical file size, and roughly how many products, I can recommend the best setup and compare the actual fees.

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If your model is something like:

Studio website → product page → $20–$200 purchase → customer immediately downloads a 2–15 GB asset

I'd narrow it to:

Yes. For a small creative studio selling single digital products (design assets, templates, fonts, presets, videos, audio packs, PDFs, 3D files, photo packs, etc.) and large downloadable files, there are several good options. The best choice depends on whether you want a simple checkout link or a full branded storefront.

Good fits for a small creative studio

My shortlist for a creative studio

1. Best simple option: Gumroad

Good if you have:

• 5–50 products
• a portfolio site already
• traffic coming from Instagram, Behance, YouTube, newsletters, etc.
• no desire to build a full store

Example products:

• Lightroom presets
• Procreate brushes
• fonts
• texture packs
• Figma kits
• PDF guides

2. Best "professional studio" option: Lemon Squeezy

A strong fit if you want:

• a cleaner checkout experience
• international customers
• tax/VAT handling
• license keys or more software-like products
• a storefront without building ecommerce infrastructure Lemon Squeezy

3. Best if you want to grow an audience: Podia

Useful if your studio may eventually sell:

• courses
• workshops
• memberships
• tutorials
• communities

It supports digital downloads including ZIPs, videos, audio, images, and design files, with individual files up to 5GB. Podia

For very large files (10GB+)

If your products are things like:

• raw video libraries
• huge sample packs
• Unreal/Unity assets
• large photo archives

you may want a hybrid setup:

• storefront/payment: Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Shopify, etc.
• file delivery: Amazon Web Services S3, Dropbox, or another digital delivery service

A setup I’d recommend for a small creative studio

A simple, scalable stack:

• Website/portfolio: your existing site
• Sales: Lemon Squeezy or Gumroad
• File delivery: built-in delivery first; external storage only when files get huge
• Email list: connect buyers to a newsletter
• License terms: include a clear personal/commercial-use license PDF

If you tell me what kind of files you sell (fonts, video, 3D assets, templates, music, photography, etc.) and the typical file size (500MB? 20GB?), I can narrow it down.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling single digital products and large downloadable files, there are several good options. The best choice depends on whether you care more about simplicity, branding, large file delivery, or building a full storefront.

Here are the platforms I’d look at:

LemonSqueezy Dola## My shortlist for a small creative studio

1. Best “just sell the file” option: Gumroad

Good for:

• Design asset packs
• Fonts
• Presets
• Illustration packs
• Video LUTs
• 3D models
• Templates
• PDFs

You upload the product, set a price, and share a checkout link. It’s popular because there is almost no setup. getvik

Downside: less control over the storefront experience and fees can matter as sales grow.

2. Best professional option: Lemon Squeezy

Good for:

• A studio with multiple products
• Higher-priced downloads
• Licensing
• International customers

It supports hosted digital file delivery and is designed around selling digital products without you having to build payment infrastructure. LemonSqueezy

3. Best “our brand, our store” option: Shopify

Good if you want:

• A polished studio website
• Collections/catalogs
• Customer accounts
• Email marketing
• Physical + digital products later

You’ll usually pair it with a digital download app rather than relying on Shopify alone for large files. Profitvana

4. Best for very large creative files

If your files are things like:

• 5–50GB video projects
• high-resolution photography archives
• massive sample libraries
• game assets

you may want a hybrid setup:

• Storefront/payment: Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Shopify, or Payhip
• File delivery: Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, or a digital asset delivery service

A practical setup I’d recommend for a small studio

Starting out:

• Website → simple portfolio site
• Checkout → Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy
• Files → platform-hosted downloads
• Email list → ConvertKit or similar

Growing studio:

• Website/store → Shopify
• Digital delivery → dedicated file app or storage
• Customer database → email CRM

If you tell me what kind of files you’re selling (e.g., fonts, photography, video packs, 3D assets, templates, music, courses, design files) and the typical file size (500MB vs 50GB), I can narrow this down.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, fonts, presets, etc.—there are a few good options.

My shortlist

• payhip.com — probably the best fit for a small studio

• Very simple storefront + checkout + automatic digital delivery.
• Up to 5 GB per individual file, with no overall storage or bandwidth limit. Payhip Help Center Payhip
• You can sell multiple files as one product, including ZIPs, PDFs, audio, video, etc.
• Can embed the checkout into your existing studio website.
• Particularly attractive if you're selling products one at a time rather than building a giant ecommerce operation.
• gumroad.com — easiest/most recognizable

• Excellent for "here's one thing, buy it and download it."
• Very little setup and customers are familiar with the experience.
• Its file limits are more generous on paid products than Payhip, according to current comparisons, making it worth considering if your assets are 5–16 GB. MKKT
• The tradeoff is higher transaction fees.
• lemonsqueezy.com — best if international tax handling matters

• Designed specifically around digital products.
• Handles hosting and secure delivery, and acts as the merchant of record.
• Currently allows up to 5 GB total files per product, rather than 5 GB per file. LemonSqueezy Lemon Squeezy Docs
• Particularly interesting if you're selling internationally and don't want to deal with VAT/sales-tax administration yourself.

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If your products look something like:

$15–$100 design asset → customer pays → immediately receives a 2–4 GB ZIP

I'd start with Payhip.

It's unusually well matched to that workflow: no monthly platform requirement to get started, straightforward product pages, digital delivery, and a 5 GB individual-file limit. Payhip Help Center

If you're talking about 10+ GB project files, though, I'd use a different architecture: a storefront/payment platform + dedicated file hosting, rather than forcing the ecommerce platform to be your file server.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. photography packs, video, fonts, 3D assets, templates, music) and typical file size, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms I'd actually consider and compare their fees and customer experience.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling single digital products and large files (design packs, videos, fonts, templates, photo collections, 3D assets, music, PDFs, etc.), there are several good platforms that handle checkout, payments, file delivery, and customer access. The best choice depends on whether you care more about simplicity, branding, file size, or avoiding fees.

Good fits for a small creative studio

Sellfy Sellfy## My shortlist for a creative studio

If you want the fastest setup:

Gumroad

• Good for: a single premium PDF, video pack, template, brush pack, sample library, or downloadable asset.
• Workflow: upload → price → share checkout link.
• Great if your audience already comes from Instagram, Behance, YouTube, newsletters, etc. Dola

If your files are big:

Sellfy

• Better suited for things like: - 4K video packs
• animation files
• large design bundles
• photography archives
• asset libraries
• It provides a storefront and automated delivery rather than just a payment button. Sellfy

If you want your studio to look like a real shop:

Shopify

• Best when you expect to grow into: - many digital products
• physical products
• licensing
• client accounts
• email marketing
• More expensive and complex, but gives you ownership of the brand experience.

A setup I’d consider for a small creative studio

A practical stack:

• Website: your own domain (Webflow, Squarespace, Framer, WordPress, etc.)
• Store: Sellfy / Gumroad / Payhip
• Files: let the platform host downloads, or use cloud storage for very large assets
• Email list: Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or similar
• Licensing: include a simple license PDF with every purchase

For a studio selling a handful of polished products, I’d probably start with Sellfy or Payhip if the files are large or you want a storefront, and Gumroad if you just need a buy button today. Sellfy Podia

If you tell me what kind of files you’re selling (video, fonts, templates, CAD/3D, photography, music, etc.) and approximate file sizes (500MB vs 20GB+), I can narrow it down.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling one-off digital products (design packs, fonts, templates, presets, stock assets, music, videos, 3D files, PDFs, courses, etc.), there are several good options. The best choice depends mostly on file size, branding needs, and whether you want a full storefront or just checkout + delivery.

Good platforms for a small creative studio

My shortlist for a creative studio

1. If you sell things like:

• Photoshop/Illustrator templates
• Lightroom presets
• fonts
• Procreate brushes
• sample packs
• icon packs
• 3D assets
• photography bundles

I’d look first at Sellfy. It is designed around creators selling digital goods, gives you a storefront, and handles automated delivery. Sellfy

2. If you sell:

• expensive digital products ($100–$1,000+)
• software/tools
• licenses
• international products

I’d consider Lemon Squeezy because it is more geared toward handling payments, taxes, and licensing workflows. LemonSqueezy LemonSqueezy

3. If you mostly need:

“Customer pays → customer gets a download link”

A simple setup like Gumroad can work, especially when validating a first product.

One thing to watch: very large files

If your products are things like:

• 20GB+ video libraries
• raw photo archives
• huge Unreal/Unity assets
• cinematic footage packs

you may want a hybrid setup:

• storefront/payment: Sellfy, Lemon Squeezy, Shopify, etc.
• file hosting: aws.amazon.com, cloudflare.com, or another asset delivery service

Then the store handles the transaction and the storage system handles bandwidth.

For a small creative studio starting out, I’d probably rank them:

1. Sellfy — easiest all-around creative shop
2. Lemon Squeezy — best for professional/global sales
3. Gumroad — fastest way to launch one product
4. Shopify — best if you expect to become a larger brand

If you tell me what kind of files you’re selling (video, design assets, 3D, music, photography, etc.) and the typical file size, I can narrow it down.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling things like design templates, fonts, presets, video assets, PDFs, photo packs, project files, or large ZIPs, there are several platforms that can handle both checkout and digital delivery.

My top picks

I’d particularly look at SendOwl

For a creative studio rather than an individual creator, SendOwl is interesting because it sits between "simple Gumroad-style storefront" and "build our own ecommerce system."

It supports:

• Individual digital products and bundles
• PDFs, ZIPs, video, audio, PSD/AI-type creative files, software, etc. SendOwl Help Center SendOwl Help Center
• Secure, automatic delivery after payment
• Download limits and expiring links
• PDF stamping/password protection
• Product updates that can notify previous customers
• Embeddable checkout if you already have a studio website SendOwl Help Center
• Large files: the current documentation says files over 1 GB can be uploaded through SFTP, while its business pricing advertises a 50 GB max file size. SendOwl Help Center SendOwl

So, for example, you could have:

Studio Website → Product Page → Checkout → Secure Download

without building the payment/download infrastructure yourself.

Payhip is probably the easiest alternative

If your files are generally under 5 GB, I'd seriously consider Payhip. It gives you a storefront, checkout, automatic delivery, payment processing through Stripe/PayPal, discounting, product variations, and download protection. Payhip Payhip Help Center

Its current limit is 5 GB per individual file, with no overall storage or bandwidth limit. Payhip

What I'd choose for a small studio

If your products are mostly 1–5 GB: → Payhip

If you're selling 10–50 GB creative packages / video / huge asset libraries: → SendOwl

If you want the absolute simplest "put product up and sell it" experience: → Gumroad

If you're selling software, licenses, or want sophisticated tax/subscription infrastructure: → Lemon Squeezy

One important distinction: selling a single digital product doesn't require a full ecommerce platform. You can have one product, one checkout page, and automated fulfillment. The more important question for a creative studio is how large the files are, how much customization you want on the checkout/storefront, and whether you need VAT/sales-tax handling.

If you tell me roughly (1) typical file size, (2) price of the products, (3) whether you already have a website, and (4) whether you want customers to create accounts, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best options and compare their actual costs per sale.

Yes. If by “single digital products” you mean sell one-off creative assets/files—rather than running a full online store—and some of those files are large, there are a few good options.

My shortlist

SendOwl is probably the closest match to what you're describing. It is essentially a checkout + secure file-delivery layer rather than forcing you to build a traditional ecommerce store. It supports PDFs, video, audio, ZIPs, software, bundles, expiring/download-limited links, and can handle very large files. Its current documentation says there is no overall file-size limit, with files over 1 GB uploaded via SFTP. SendOwl Help Center SendOwl Help Center

It also supports embedding checkout into your existing studio website, so the customer can see something like:

Studio Asset Pack — $85
12 GB ZIP download
[Buy & Download]

without you having to build the commerce/delivery infrastructure yourself. SendOwl

Payhip is worth looking at if your files are generally under 5 GB. It has no overall storage/bandwidth limit and allows up to 5 GB per file, with the ability to attach multiple files to a product. Payhip Help Center Payhip

Lemon Squeezy is particularly interesting if the studio sells things like fonts, templates, plugins, design assets, software, or other products where licensing and international tax handling matter. It supports unlimited files attached to a product and handles hosting/delivery. LemonSqueezy

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If you're selling things like 3D assets, photography packs, video, fonts, templates, design resources, project files, or large ZIP archives, I'd narrow it to:

SendOwl → best if large-file delivery and control are important.
Payhip → best if you want something extremely simple and inexpensive.
Lemon Squeezy → best if you're building a more substantial digital-product business.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling, typical file size (e.g. 500 MB vs 20 GB), price per product, and whether you already have a studio website, I can recommend the best setup—and compare the actual fees.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling one-off digital products—templates, presets, design assets, fonts, PDFs, video, ZIPs, etc.—there are several good options.

My top pick: Payhip

payhip.com is probably the closest fit if you want something simple, inexpensive, and creator-focused.

• Sell individual digital products with one-time payments.
• Each uploaded file can be up to 5 GB.
• There’s no overall storage or bandwidth limit.
• You can upload multiple files to one product, including ZIPs, video, audio, PDFs, etc.
• You can use Payhip's storefront or embed checkout into your existing studio website.
• It connects to Stripe/PayPal for payments. Payhip Help Center Payhip Payhip

For example, you could have:

Studio Store
— Brand Template Pack — $49
— Lightroom Presets — $29
— 4K Texture Library — $39
— Complete Asset Bundle — $149
— Video Course Files — $79

…and customers automatically get their files after purchase.

Also worth considering

lemonsqueezy.com — better if you want a more polished commerce/business backend. It handles digital delivery, checkout, taxes, fraud prevention, and can sell one-time products as well as subscriptions. It allows unlimited files per product, with 5 GB total per product. Lemon Squeezy Docs LemonSqueezy

gumroad.com — very easy and well-known among creators. It's particularly nice if you want a simple product page and don't care as much about building a highly customized storefront. Its current terms indicate that file/storage limits can apply, so I'd favor Payhip if large files are a central requirement. Gumroad

The important distinction

If by "large files" you mean something like 10–100+ GB project files, I wouldn't make the ecommerce platform itself your file-storage system.

I'd use:

Website → checkout → payment → secure download/access to files stored elsewhere

For files under ~5 GB, Payhip is unusually convenient because the commerce and delivery can live in one place.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. video, photography, fonts, 3D assets, templates) and the typical file size, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best platforms for your studio, including pricing/fees and how I'd structure the storefront.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling things like templates, fonts, design assets, presets, PDFs, video, audio, or large ZIP packages, there are a few good options.

My top picks

For your description, I'd look hardest at Payhip and SendOwl.

Payhip — probably the best small-studio starting point

Payhip is particularly attractive if you want a simple storefront where each product has its own sales page and customers automatically receive their files. It supports multiple files per product, including PDFs, video, audio and ZIPs, with a 5 GB limit per individual file and no overall storage/bandwidth limit. Payhip Help Center Payhip

That makes it a nice fit for something like:

Product → $29 → customer pays → automatically gets a 3.8 GB ZIP

It can also embed into an existing website, or function as the studio's entire storefront. Payhip

SendOwl — better if the files are really big

If you're talking about 10–50 GB project packages, video libraries, production assets, etc., I'd seriously consider SendOwl.

It is built specifically around digital fulfillment and has features such as secure download links, download limits, expiring links, PDF stamping/document locking, bundles, subscriptions and license keys. SendOwl Help Center SendOwl

One caveat: SendOwl's current pricing varies by plan and its documentation has different upload mechanisms for large files. Files up to 1 GB can be uploaded through the dashboard; larger files can be uploaded through SFTP. SendOwl Help Center

Its current entry-level Launch plan is $39/month, with unlimited products/storage but plan-specific bandwidth and sales limits. SendOwl

What I'd choose

If you're a 2–5 person creative studio with a handful of digital products, I'd start with Payhip.

If your business is more like:

• downloadable 20–50 GB creative projects
• large video packs
• huge asset libraries
• client-facing digital delivery
• sophisticated download/security controls
• lots of products and recurring sales

I'd lean toward SendOwl.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling, typical file size (e.g. 500 MB vs 20 GB), number of products, and whether you already have a website, I can narrow it down to 2–3 platforms and compare the actual costs/features for your studio.

What I'd choose

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, audio, design assets, templates, or project files—there are a few good options.

My shortlist

• payhip.com — probably the best simple/low-cost starting point.

It gives you a storefront, checkout, payment processing, automatic delivery, and customer management. There’s no storage or bandwidth limit, with a 5 GB limit per file, and you can attach multiple files to one product. Payhip Payhip Help Center
Best for: a studio that has perhaps 5–50 products and wants something easy without building an ecommerce site.

• lemonsqueezy.com — best if you want a more polished software/ecommerce operation.

It hosts digital files, supports any file type, and allows up to 5 GB total files per product. It also handles things like checkout and taxes, which can be attractive if you're selling internationally. Lemon Squeezy Docs LemonSqueezy
Best for: downloadable creative products where you want a more professional commerce backend.

• sendowl.com — best if the files are genuinely large.

SendOwl is more focused on secure digital delivery than being a marketplace. Its current business plans advertise 50 GB max file size, unlimited storage/products, and security features such as expiring links and download controls. SendOwl SendOwl
Best for: a studio selling 10–50 GB video packages, asset libraries, production files, etc.

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If your products look something like:

$19 LUT pack → $49 texture pack → $99 template → $250 asset library → $500+ production package

I'd start with Payhip if individual files are under 5 GB. It's unusually straightforward for this use case and doesn't impose storage/bandwidth limits. Payhip

If you're talking about 10–50 GB deliverables, I'd look much more seriously at SendOwl. Its digital-delivery/security features are better suited to large professional files. SendOwl SendOwl

One important distinction: you don't necessarily need a traditional ecommerce platform. For a small studio, I'd favor something that does:

landing/product page → Stripe/PayPal checkout → automatic payment confirmation → secure download → customer record

rather than Shopify/WooCommerce unless you also plan to sell physical products or build a much larger storefront.

If you tell me roughly (1) typical file size, (2) number of products, (3) price range, and (4) whether you already have a studio website, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare their actual fees.

Yes. If you’re a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, fonts, photography, etc.—there are platforms built specifically for this.

My shortlist

1. SendOwl — probably the closest match

sendowl.com is particularly interesting for your use case because it separates selling from file delivery.

You can create a product, set a price, and give customers a polished checkout/download experience without building a full ecommerce site. It supports things like ZIPs, video, audio, PDFs, images, and design files, and can bundle multiple files into one product. SendOwl SendOwl Help Center

It also has useful studio-oriented features:

• Secure, unique download links
• Download limits and expiration
• PDF stamping/document protection
• Upsells and bundles
• Hosted product pages
• Payment links
• Multiple team members
• Unlimited products on higher plans

One thing to watch: their current plan limits vary by tier. Their solopreneur plans currently advertise max file sizes from 5 GB to 15 GB, while business plans advertise up to 50 GB. SendOwl SendOwl

I'd choose this if your studio already has an audience and you care about a professional, branded buying experience.

2. Gumroad — easiest if you just want to sell

gumroad.com is probably the easiest "upload → price → sell" option.

It's particularly good if you're selling things like:

• $10–$50 asset packs
• Fonts
• LUTs/presets
• Templates
• Illustration packs
• E-books
• Small courses
• ZIP collections

The downside is that its transaction economics can become less attractive as your studio's sales grow. It's more of a creator storefront/marketplace-style experience than a dedicated studio commerce backend.

3. Lemon Squeezy — worth considering if tax/VAT is a headache

lemonsqueezy.com is attractive if you're selling internationally and want a platform that takes more responsibility for payments/tax compliance.

I'd lean toward it if your products start looking more like digital tools, plugins, software, subscriptions, or licenses rather than purely creative files.

What I'd do for a small creative studio

If your model is something like:

Studio website → product page → customer pays → automatically receives a 2–10 GB ZIP/video/asset library

I'd start with SendOwl.

You don't necessarily need Shopify at all. You can keep your existing studio website and simply put "Buy" / "Download" / "Get the Pack" buttons on your product pages that lead to the checkout.

That's a much lighter stack than building a full ecommerce store.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. fonts, video, 3D assets, templates, photography), typical file size, product price, and expected sales/month, I can narrow this down to the cheapest/best 2–3 options for your studio.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, fonts, presets, etc.—there are a few good “all-in-one” options.

My first choice: Payhip

payhip.com is probably the closest match to what you're describing.

• Create a simple storefront/product page.
• Sell one-off digital products rather than subscriptions.
• Upload files directly and have Payhip deliver them after purchase.
• Up to 5 GB per individual file, with no overall storage/bandwidth limit. Payhip Help Center Payhip
• You can upload multiple files to one product, so a large creative asset pack can be divided into several ZIPs. Payhip Help Center
• Supports Stripe/PayPal and can also embed purchase buttons into your existing studio website. Payhip Payhip
• You can use a custom domain, so it doesn't necessarily feel like you're sending clients to a third-party marketplace. Payhip

For a studio selling things like “Brand Asset Pack — $49,” “3D Texture Library — $79,” “Premiere Templates — $35,” etc., this is a very sensible setup.

Lemon Squeezy

lemonsqueezy.com is another strong option, particularly if you're selling software, plugins, templates, digital tools, or products with different license tiers.

It supports one-time purchases, variants, subscriptions, license keys, and digital-file delivery. Lemon Squeezy Docs LemonSqueezy

The catch for your use case is file size: each product can have up to 5 GB total across its files, rather than Payhip's 5 GB per file. Lemon Squeezy Docs

Gumroad

gumroad.com is the simplest “put a product up and sell it” option and is very popular with independent creators. But I'd lean toward Payhip for a studio because Payhip gives you more of a storefront/business infrastructure rather than primarily a creator checkout page.

Gumroad's current terms also indicate that it can impose limits on file size/storage, so I'd be less inclined to choose it when large files are one of your primary requirements. Gumroad

What I'd choose for a small creative studio

One important question is how large “large” means. If you're talking about 500 MB–5 GB files, I'd seriously consider Payhip. If you're talking about 10, 20, 50+ GB products—for example full video libraries, huge sample libraries, 3D asset collections, or raw production files—I would use a different architecture: a storefront/payment platform connected to dedicated file storage and controlled download delivery.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling, typical file size, price per product, and whether you already have a studio website, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms I'd actually consider.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products and large downloadable files (design assets, video packs, fonts, 3D files, presets, templates, audio, photography collections, etc.), there are several good “upload → checkout → automatic delivery” platforms.

Here are the ones I’d look at:

For a small creative studio, I’d usually narrow it down like this:

• You have 1–50 products and want something polished quickly: sellfy.com
• You sell expensive assets, software, licenses, subscriptions, or international products: lemonsqueezy.com
• You just need a checkout link for a few flagship products: gumroad.com
• You want your own branded creative shop long-term: shopify.com

A setup many studios use is:

• Website/portfolio → webflow.com or squarespace.com
• Buy button → digital commerce platform
• File delivery → platform-hosted downloads or cloud storage integration

A couple of questions would change the recommendation:

1. What kind of files are you selling (video, 3D assets, fonts, Photoshop files, audio, courses, etc.)?
2. How large are the files (500MB, 5GB, 50GB+)?
3. Do you already have a website, or do you want the platform to be the whole storefront?

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large downloads—you have several good options, and you probably don't need a full Shopify-style ecommerce setup.

My shortlist

For comparison, current 2026 information puts Gumroad at roughly 16GB per file, Payhip at 5GB per file, and Lemon Squeezy at 2GB per file. Rupa Payhip Help Center

What I'd pick for a creative studio

If you're selling things like:

• Photoshop/Illustrator assets
• fonts
• presets
• stock photography
• video assets
• templates
• music/audio packs
• large ZIP collections
• digital art
• project files

I'd look particularly hard at Payhip or Gumroad.

Payhip is probably the best starting point if you want something inexpensive and relatively professional. It supports ZIPs, PDFs, audio, video, etc., has no overall storage/bandwidth limit, and lets you embed its checkout into your existing website. The main limitation is the 5GB individual-file limit. Payhip Help Center Payhip

Gumroad is more attractive if some of your products are very large. Its reported 16GB/file allowance makes it considerably more flexible for things like video packages or large asset libraries. The tradeoff is a higher transaction fee. Rupa

One important distinction

If by "handles selling" you mean:

Customer lands on our site → chooses one product → pays → automatically receives a secure download → gets an email/receipt → we don't have to manually send anything

then yes, absolutely. Payhip, Gumroad, and SendOwl can all handle that basic workflow.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling, typical file size (e.g. 500MB vs 10GB), product price, and whether you already have a studio website, I can narrow it down to the 2–3 platforms I'd actually consider for your setup.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large downloadable files—there are several good options. I’d narrow it to Payhip, Lemon Squeezy, and SendOwl, with Gumroad as the simplest mainstream option.

My first choice: Payhip

Payhip is probably the closest match if you're a small creative studio rather than an individual influencer.

It gives you a simple storefront, product pages, checkout, automatic file delivery, and the ability to embed products into your own website. Most importantly for your use case, Payhip says it has no overall storage/bandwidth limit and supports files up to 5 GB each. payhip.com

That works nicely for things like:

• Lightroom presets
• Fonts
• Design templates
• 3D assets
• Brush packs
• Photography packs
• Music/audio
• Video assets
• PDFs/books
• ZIP collections
• Creative toolkits

If your files are really large

I'd look harder at SendOwl.

SendOwl is more of a digital fulfillment engine than a marketplace. You can put the checkout on your existing studio website and have SendOwl handle payment/delivery. That's appealing if you want the studio's website and branding to remain the primary experience rather than sending customers to a Gumroad-like storefront. www.creatorstackclub.com

If you're selling internationally

Lemon Squeezy is particularly interesting.

Lemon Squeezy supports design assets, templates, video, fonts, and other digital products, with hosted file delivery and one-time purchases or subscriptions. www.lemonsqueezy.com Its big advantage is the Merchant of Record model, which can take a lot of sales-tax/VAT administration off your plate.

What I wouldn't automatically choose: Gumroad

Gumroad is very easy and perfectly viable, but its economics aren't especially attractive for a studio once you're doing meaningful volume. Current comparisons put its standard platform fee around 10%, whereas Payhip and Lemon Squeezy are generally around 5% under their respective models. plugyourbuild.com

For a small creative studio, I'd roughly rank them:

1. Payhip — best overall for a small catalog + large downloads
2. Lemon Squeezy — best if international tax/VAT simplicity matters
3. SendOwl — best if you already have a beautiful studio website and want checkout/delivery behind it
4. Gumroad — best if absolute simplicity is more important than fees

If you tell me roughly how big the files are (e.g. 500 MB, 5 GB, 20 GB+) and whether you already have a studio website, I can narrow this down to the best 1–2 options.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, fonts, etc.—there are a few good options.

My shortlist

• payhip.com — probably the best starting point.

It gives you a storefront, checkout, payment processing, automatic digital delivery, discount codes, customer management, and the ability to embed checkout on your own site. Files can be up to 5 GB each, with unlimited storage and bandwidth. Payhip Help Center Payhip
Best for: a small studio that wants something inexpensive and uncomplicated.

• sendowl.com — best if large files/security are the priority.

It's specifically built around digital delivery and supports download limits, expiring links, PDF stamping, bundles, license keys, etc. Its current Creator plans start at $39/month, with unlimited products/storage; larger files can be uploaded via SFTP. SendOwl SendOwl Help Center SendOwl
Best for: a professional studio selling substantial creative assets where delivery/security matters more than having a marketplace.

• gumroad.com — easiest recognizable option.

Very simple for putting up a product and taking payment, and customers get a library of their purchases. Gumroad
Best for: very low-friction selling, particularly if you don't care about having a highly customized storefront.

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If you're selling things like:

$15 texture pack → $40 Lightroom preset collection → $75 design template → $150 asset bundle → $300+ video/creative package

I'd lean toward Payhip initially. The 5 GB/file limit covers a surprisingly large proportion of creative products, and you don't have to build the ecommerce/delivery infrastructure yourself. Payhip Help Center

If your products routinely contain 10–50+ GB of video, project files, high-res assets, etc., I'd look harder at SendOwl. It is much more purpose-built around large-file delivery and controlled access. SendOwl SendOwl

The other interesting approach is your own studio website + one of these platforms invisibly handling checkout/delivery. Payhip supports embedded checkout, while SendOwl is explicitly designed to plug into an existing website. Payhip SendOwl

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. fonts, templates, video, photography, 3D assets, music, courses) and the typical file size, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms that make the most sense and compare their fees.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, presets, fonts, etc.—there are several good options.

My first pick: Payhip

payhip.com is probably the closest match to what you're describing.

• Sell individual products with a dedicated product/checkout page.
• Upload files up to 5 GB each; there’s no overall storage or bandwidth limit. Payhip Help Center Payhip
• Customers automatically receive a download page after purchase.
• Supports ZIPs, video, audio, PDFs, images, and most other file types.
• You can embed the checkout into an existing studio website rather than making Payhip your entire website. Payhip
• Free plan with 5% per sale, or paid plans that reduce the transaction fee. Payhip
• Has download limits and unique download links, which is useful for protecting creative assets. Payhip Help Center

For a studio, I'd consider this a very strong "set it up once and forget about the ecommerce plumbing" option.

Other good choices

Lemon Squeezy Docs### One important distinction

If by "large files" you mean things like 20–100 GB video projects, photography archives, Blender/3D files, or huge production packages, I'd use a slightly different architecture.

Instead of making the ecommerce platform host the actual file:

Studio website → product page → payment → secure download link → external storage

That lets you use something like S3/Cloudflare R2/Dropbox/etc. for the heavy files while Payhip handles the product catalog, checkout, payment, customer email, and access. Payhip itself explicitly supports selling products that provide access via a link. Payhip Help Center

So if you're talking about a studio selling, say, $15 fonts, $40 LUT packs, $75 templates, $150 asset packs, and occasionally a 30 GB production bundle, I'd probably recommend Payhip + external storage for the truly huge stuff.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling and the typical file sizes (e.g. 500 MB ZIPs vs. 20 GB video files), I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their fees, branding, file delivery, and customer experience.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, assets, templates, fonts, presets, etc.—there are a few good options.

My first pick: Payhip

payhip.com is probably the closest match to what you're describing.

• Up to 5 GB per individual file; you can attach multiple files to one product. Payhip Help Center Payhip
• No overall storage or bandwidth limit. Payhip
• Customers pay and automatically receive a download page.
• Supports PDFs, ZIPs, video, audio, images, and essentially any normal creative file type. Payhip
• You can create a simple storefront without building a full ecommerce site.
• Stripe/PayPal payments are built in. Payhip
• You can also sell bundles, memberships, subscriptions, and courses if the studio grows into those.

The important caveat: 5 GB is per file. If you're selling, say, a 12 GB video package, you'd need to split it into multiple files or host the large file elsewhere and deliver the link through Payhip. Payhip Help Center

Other options

Gumroad is still attractive if simplicity and its creator-oriented ecosystem matter more than file-storage requirements. Gumroad Gumroad

What I'd do for a creative studio

If you're selling things like:

$15 preset pack → $40 template → $75 asset library → $150 video/creative package

I'd start with Payhip rather than building a custom store.

If your products routinely exceed 5–10 GB, I'd use a slightly different architecture:

Studio website → product/checkout → Payhip → secure delivery via external file storage

That lets the storefront remain simple while something like cloud/object storage handles the enormous files.

If you tell me what kind of digital products you're selling and roughly how large the files are (e.g. 500 MB, 5 GB, 50 GB), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms I'd actually consider, including fees and whether they look professional enough for a creative studio.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, design assets, templates, fonts, etc.—there are a few good options.

My shortlist

1. Payhip — probably the sweet spot

For a small studio, I'd look at Payhip first.

You can create a product, charge a one-time price, and have Payhip handle checkout and delivery. Each individual file can be up to 5 GB, and Payhip says there are no overall storage or bandwidth limits. Payhip Help Center Payhip

That makes it particularly nice for things like:

• Lightroom/Photoshop assets
• fonts
• illustration packs
• templates
• sample libraries
• video packs
• large ZIP downloads
• digital books/magazines
• creative resources

You can also embed the checkout into your existing studio website rather than making Payhip your entire website. Payhip

2. Lemon Squeezy — better if you want a "real shop"

Lemon Squeezy is compelling if you want the studio to feel more like an established digital-product business.

It supports one-time purchases, subscriptions, variants, discounts, license keys, and secure digital delivery. It's also a merchant of record, which can simplify some of the tax/payment complexity of selling internationally. LemonSqueezy Lemon Squeezy Docs

The catch for your particular requirement is file size: each product can have unlimited files, but the total is capped at 5 GB per product. Lemon Squeezy Docs

So it's excellent for a 500 MB–5 GB creative product, but less attractive if you're selling 20–50 GB video packages.

3. SendOwl — if "large files" is the important part

This is the one I'd investigate if your studio routinely sells very large downloads.

SendOwl is specifically built around checkout + digital delivery. Its current offering supports large files, secure/expiring download links, download limits, and other delivery controls. SendOwl

Its smaller plans are more constrained, though. The current solopreneur pricing starts at $39/month, with the Launch plan supporting up to 5 GB files; higher plans go to 10 GB and 15 GB. SendOwl

So I'd choose it when you're saying:

"Our products are frequently 10–50 GB and reliable delivery is a core part of the business."

rather than:

"We occasionally sell a 2 GB ZIP."

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If your biggest product is under ~5 GB:
→ Payhip is probably the easiest answer.

If you want international sales/tax handling and a polished digital-product storefront:
→ Lemon Squeezy.

If you're selling huge video/asset packages:
→ SendOwl, or potentially a custom setup where the storefront/payment system and file storage are separate.

One important distinction: "selling digital products" and "hosting large files" don't necessarily have to be the same service. For example, you can have a beautiful studio website with a Buy button, use Stripe/Lemon Squeezy/Payhip for the transaction, and use specialized storage/CDN infrastructure for the actual 20–100 GB files.

If you tell me roughly (a) typical file size, (b) product price range, (c) whether you already have a website, and (d) whether you need the platform to handle sales tax/VAT, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options for your studio.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large downloads—there are several good options. The main distinction is whether you want a simple storefront or something more like a professional digital-delivery system.

My shortlist

For your use case, I'd look hardest at SendOwl

It's particularly suited to a creative studio because it's more focused on selling and securely delivering files than on being a creator social network.

You can sell things like:

• 5–50 GB asset packs
• Video/photo downloads
• Fonts and design assets
• PSD/AI/AE/project files
• Sound/music libraries
• PDFs/e-books
• Collections containing many files

SendOwl supports automatic delivery, expiring download links, download limits, PDF/document protection, and other delivery controls. Its current business plans advertise files up to 50 GB, while its platform advertises unlimited storage/products. www.sendowl.com

That's a meaningful distinction if your studio's products are large creative assets rather than tiny PDFs or templates.

If you want the simplest possible setup

Gumroad is hard to beat for: upload product → set price → get a URL → start selling.

It's particularly attractive if you don't want to pay a monthly subscription initially. The tradeoff is that you're paying a larger percentage of each sale, and you get less control than with a dedicated delivery platform. dolaapp.com

One thing I'd avoid

I wouldn't automatically jump to Shopify for this. It's excellent if you're building a full ecommerce brand, but if your studio has 5–20 digital products and you're primarily selling downloadable creative assets, it can be considerably more infrastructure than you need.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. 2–10 GB video packs, fonts, Lightroom presets, PDFs, design templates, etc.) and your typical price ($10, $50, $200+), I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their actual costs.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling things like fonts, templates, presets, stock assets, ebooks, courses, video, design files, or downloadable project packages, there are a few good options.

My shortlist

I'd look hardest at Payhip

For a small creative studio, Payhip is unusually close to "just put our work up for sale and let us handle the rest." You can create individual products, set your own prices, take payments through Stripe/PayPal, and deliver files automatically. It supports files up to 5GB each, with no overall storage or bandwidth limit. help.payhip.com

It also has useful creative-studio features like download limits, PDF stamping, bundles, memberships, and the ability to embed checkout into your existing website. help.payhip.com

If your files are really big

I'd consider SendOwl. It's more of a dedicated commerce + digital delivery infrastructure product than a creator marketplace. Its current plans support large files, secure/expiring download links, download controls, PDF stamping, and other anti-sharing features. The entry-level creator plan starts around $39/month and supports 5GB files; higher tiers go to 10GB/15GB, with larger-scale plans available. www.sendowl.com

That's attractive if you're selling, say, 20GB video packages, huge asset libraries, or professional production files rather than 200MB templates.

One important distinction

If by "large files" you mean 5–50GB individual files, I'd not choose based solely on the prettiest storefront. You want to think about:

• maximum individual file size
• download bandwidth costs
• resumable/reliable downloads
• expiring/private links
• customer re-downloads
• whether customers can access updated files
• VAT/sales-tax handling
• transaction fees vs monthly subscription
• whether you can use your own domain
• whether you can embed checkout into your studio's existing site

For example, Lemon Squeezy is attractive for international digital sales and handles secure delivery, but its current documentation caps a product at 5GB total across its files. docs.lemonsqueezy.com

If you tell me roughly what you're selling and the typical file size (e.g. “After Effects templates, 1–3GB each” or “photography packs, 20GB each”), I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms that make the most sense, including pricing and transaction fees.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large files (templates, presets, design assets, video, audio, ZIPs, etc.), there are a few good “upload → storefront → payment → automatic delivery” platforms.

My first pick: Payhip

Payhip is probably the closest match to what you're describing.

• Up to 5 GB per individual file
• Unlimited storage and bandwidth
• Sell individual products or bundles
• Hosted storefront, or embed checkout into your existing studio website
• Supports ZIPs, PDFs, video, audio and most other file types
• Download limits and PDF stamping for piracy protection
• Has a free plan; their current free tier takes a percentage of sales rather than requiring a monthly subscription. help.payhip.com
• You can sell a product that's essentially “pay $X → get this download”, without building your own ecommerce system. help.payhip.com

For a small studio, I particularly like that you can keep your own branded website and simply put “Buy” buttons on your product pages rather than making Payhip the center of your brand.

Lemon Squeezy

Lemon Squeezy is another strong option, particularly if you want something a little more sophisticated around payments, taxes, and international customers.

It supports digital downloads with up to 5 GB total files per product, with unlimited individual files, and securely delivers them after purchase. docs.lemonsqueezy.com

I'd lean toward it if your studio might eventually sell software, licenses, subscriptions, or products internationally rather than just creative assets.

Gumroad

Gumroad is still the simplest recognizable option. It handles the storefront, checkout and delivery, and is very easy to get running. Its help center specifically supports product files, bundles, memberships and file-size management. gumroad.com

The downside for a studio is that the economics can be less attractive as sales grow, so I'd compare its current fees against Payhip before committing.

What I'd choose for a creative studio

One important distinction: if by “large files” you mean 10–50+ GB video projects, raw footage, photography archives, etc., I wouldn't necessarily use a digital-product platform as the actual file host. I'd use something like cloud storage for the files and have the storefront sell/access-control the download.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. Lightroom presets, fonts, video packs, 3D assets, PDFs, templates) and the typical file size, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare the actual fees.

Yes. If you’re a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large asset packs, videos, templates, fonts, presets, PDFs, or ZIPs—there are a few good options.

My shortlist

Payhip is particularly interesting for your use case: it has no storage or bandwidth limits, allows files up to 5 GB each, and can even embed checkout directly into your existing studio website. payhip.com

Gumroad is arguably the easiest if you just want to upload a product, set a price, and get a sales page. Its current limit is 20 GB per individual file for paid products, and you can attach multiple files to one product. gumroad.com

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If you're selling things like:

• 2–5 GB video/animation packs
• Photoshop/Illustrator/Blender assets
• Fonts
• LUTs/presets
• Stock footage
• Texture/material libraries
• Large ZIP downloads
• Digital books or design resources

I'd lean Payhip if your files are under 5 GB each, and Gumroad if you routinely have individual files between 5–20 GB.

The bigger question is whether you want "a storefront" or just "checkout + digital delivery." If you already have a studio website/portfolio, I'd avoid building an entire Shopify store just to sell a handful of digital products. Payhip's ability to embed the purchasing experience into your own site is attractive for that setup. payhip.com

If you tell me roughly (1) what kind of files you're selling, (2) typical file size, (3) expected price per product, and (4) whether you already have a website, I can narrow it down to the 2–3 platforms I'd actually consider for your studio, including the fee math.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large files—there are several good options. The key distinction is whether you want a simple storefront or a more professional checkout + file-delivery system.

My shortlist

I'd look closely at SendOwl

For a creative studio, SendOwl is probably the closest match to what you're describing. It isn't trying to be a social marketplace; it's essentially checkout + digital delivery that you can put behind your own website.

It supports essentially any digital file type, large-file delivery, unlimited storage on its current platform offering, download limits, expiring links, PDF stamping, and embedded/hosted checkout. You can also sell individual products rather than having to build a full ecommerce operation. www.sendowl.com

That makes it particularly interesting if you're selling things like:

• Photography/video packs
• High-resolution artwork
• Fonts and design assets
• LUTs/presets
• Sound libraries
• 3D assets
• Templates
• ZIP bundles
• Large video files
• Digital books/publications

SendOwl's digital-product platform

Gumroad is the "just get it online" option

If you don't care about the platform taking a percentage and want the least setup possible, Gumroad is hard to beat for simplicity. Paid products can have individual files up to 20 GB, and you can attach multiple files to a product. gumroad.comwww.lemonsqueezy.com

The downside for a studio is that the percentage-based fee becomes increasingly painful as sales grow.

Lemon Squeezy is worth considering

Lemon Squeezy is particularly attractive if you're selling internationally or might eventually sell software, licenses, subscriptions, or more sophisticated digital products. It handles hosted file delivery and lets you attach multiple files to products and variants. www.lemonsqueezy.com

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. $10–$50 PDFs/presets vs. $200 video assets vs. 5–50 GB production files) and whether you already have a website, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms I'd actually consider for your studio, including current pricing and transaction costs.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling one-off digital products and large downloadable files (design assets, templates, fonts, 3D files, video packs, presets, music, PDFs, etc.), there are several good platforms. The best choice depends on whether you want a simple checkout link or a full branded storefront.

Here are the strongest options:

My shortlist for a small creative studio

1. Sellfy — probably the closest match

• Looks like a mini ecommerce store rather than a random checkout page.
• Good for selling collections: texture packs, brushes, LUTs, fonts, templates, video assets, etc.
• Handles delivery automatically.
• Supports large files and bundles. sellfy.com

2. Gumroad — best if you want to launch this weekend

• Create a product page.
• Upload your ZIP/video/files.
• Share the link.
• Very little setup.
• The tradeoff is higher per-sale fees compared with some subscription platforms. www.podia.comsellfy.com

3. Shopify + digital download app — best if you want a serious brand

• More expensive and more setup.
• Better if you want:
  • a full studio website
  • collections/categories
  • email marketing
  • physical + digital products together

For very large creative files

If your products are things like:

• 10–50GB video libraries
• raw photo collections
• massive 3D asset packs
• client deliverable archives

you may want a hybrid setup:

• storefront: Sellfy/Gumroad/Shopify
• storage + delivery: Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, or Dropbox with controlled links

For a small creative studio selling finished products, I’d usually start with Sellfy or Gumroad, then move to Shopify when the catalog and traffic justify it. www.podia.comsellfy.com

If you tell me what kind of files you sell (fonts, 3D, video, photography, design templates, music, etc.) and approximate file sizes, I can narrow it down.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling one-off digital products and large files (design assets, video packs, 3D files, fonts, templates, photography collections, audio, etc.), there are several good platforms. The best choice depends on whether you care more about simplicity, branding, file size, taxes, or owning the customer relationship.

Here are the strongest options:

My shortlist for a small creative studio

1. Sellfy — probably the closest match

• Upload a product
• Add images, descriptions, pricing
• Customers pay and automatically receive downloads
• Can create a storefront without building a full website
• Supports creative products like videos, music, design assets, and bundles sellfy.com

Good examples:

• “Brand identity kit”
• “1000 texture pack”
• “Motion graphics bundle”
• “Photography archive”
• “3D asset library”

2. Lemon Squeezy — best if you sell internationally

• Handles checkout, payments, and digital delivery
• Useful if your studio sells things like plugins, templates, fonts, apps, or licensing-based products
• Acts as a merchant of record, which can simplify some tax responsibilities www.lemonsqueezy.comsellfy.com

3. Gumroad — best for testing an idea

• Very fast setup
• Good if you only have a few products
• Less “studio storefront” feeling than Sellfy

If your files are truly huge (50GB–500GB+)

I’d usually avoid storing the raw files directly in the storefront. A common studio setup is:

• Storefront: Sellfy / Lemon Squeezy / Gumroad
• File hosting: Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Dropbox Business, or similar
• Delivery: protected download links after purchase

This is more scalable for:

• 4K/8K video libraries
• Unreal Engine assets
• Large Procreate/Photoshop packs
• Sample libraries
• Archive collections

For a small creative studio with a handful of premium products, I’d start with Sellfy for simplicity or Lemon Squeezy if you expect international customers and higher-priced products. www.lemonsqueezy.comsellfy.com

If you tell me what kind of files you’re selling (video, design assets, fonts, 3D, photography, audio, etc.) and approximate file sizes, I can narrow it down.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products and large downloadable files, there are several good platforms. The best choice depends on whether you want a simple checkout page or a full branded storefront.

Good options

For a creative studio, I’d usually narrow it down like this:

Selling a few premium files (design packs, fonts, presets, 3D assets, templates, sample libraries):

• Start with Gumroad or Fourthwall.
• Fastest path from “we have a file” → “customers can buy and download.” fourthwall.com

Building a studio brand with a catalog:

• Use Shopify if you want your own polished store, email marketing, bundles, and future physical products. help.shopify.com

Selling very large files (10GB–100GB+):

• Consider a storefront that can sell access but hosts files elsewhere, such as:
  • cloud storage + controlled download links
  • a digital asset delivery service
  • a membership/content platform
• Avoid relying only on basic upload limits.

A common small-studio setup is:

1. Website (your brand)
2. Checkout platform (Gumroad/Fourthwall/Shopify)
3. File delivery via a dedicated storage system for large assets
4. Email list for repeat customers

If you tell me what kind of files you’re selling (video, photography packs, fonts, game assets, music, 3D files, etc.) and roughly how large they are, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 choices.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, audio, design assets, or high-res files—there are several good options.

My shortlist

Gumroad is probably the simplest if you just want: product page → payment → download. Paid products can have individual files up to 20 GB, which is unusually generous. gumroad.com Gumroad

Lemon Squeezy is attractive if you want a more polished commerce layer. It supports any file type and up to 5 GB total per product, with secure customer downloads. docs.lemonsqueezy.com Lemon Squeezy

Shopify makes more sense if the studio wants an actual branded shop rather than primarily selling through product links. Its Digital Products app supports files up to 5 GB, automatic delivery, download limits, variants, and bundles. www.shopify.com Shopify

SendOwl is the one I'd look at most closely for a creative studio. It's specifically designed around digital delivery rather than being a general ecommerce platform. It supports individual products, bundles, subscriptions, large-file delivery, expiring links, download limits, PDF stamping, and even streaming. www.sendowl.comwww.sendowl.com

One particularly useful feature: SendOwl can work without forcing you into its own storefront. You can embed checkout on your existing site or link directly to checkout, while SendOwl handles payment/delivery. www.sendowl.comwww.sendowl.com

What I'd choose

If you're a small creative studio with perhaps 1–20 premium digital products, I'd narrow it to:

1. SendOwl — best if the files are genuinely large and you want professional delivery/security.

2. Gumroad — best if you want to launch tomorrow with essentially no infrastructure.

3. Lemon Squeezy — best middle ground if you care about a polished commerce experience.

4. Shopify — best if you envision the digital products becoming part of a larger studio storefront.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. 4K video packs, Lightroom presets, fonts, templates, PDFs, music, 10–50GB project files) and whether you already have a website, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms that make the most sense, including pricing/fees and how I'd structure the setup.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, audio, design assets, templates, or photo packs—there are several good options.

My shortlist

SendOwl is probably the one I'd investigate first for your use case. It is specifically designed around selling and securely delivering digital files rather than being primarily a marketplace. It supports individual products, bundles, subscriptions, ZIP files, video/audio, templates, etc. www.sendowl.com

One particularly useful feature for a studio is that you can sell a single product as a large ZIP, and SendOwl handles secure delivery, expiring download links, download limits, and other access controls. help.sendowl.com

There's a slight wrinkle: SendOwl's documentation currently says its normal uploader supports files up to 1 GB, while its newer platform pages describe large-file support and unlimited storage; for very large files, I'd verify the exact current upload/delivery method with them before committing. help.sendowl.com

Gumroad

Gumroad is arguably the easiest option if you want something like:

Product page → Pay → customer gets download

It supports files up to 20 GB per file for products priced above $0.99, which makes it surprisingly capable for large creative assets. gumroad.com

The downside is that it's more creator/marketplace-oriented, and its economics are less attractive once you're doing meaningful sales volume.

Lemon Squeezy

Lemon Squeezy is worth considering if your studio wants a more sophisticated commerce layer. It supports digital files, multiple variants, one-time purchases and subscriptions, and acts as a merchant of record, which can simplify sales-tax/VAT administration. www.lemonsqueezy.com

What I'd choose for a creative studio

If you're selling things like $20–$500 design assets, fonts, LUTs, presets, templates, stock footage, photo collections, courses, or large downloadable project files, I'd lean:

1. SendOwl → best dedicated digital-delivery infrastructure
2. Lemon Squeezy → best if international tax/compliance is important
3. Gumroad → best if you want to get selling with almost no setup

And you don't necessarily need to build a storefront from scratch. These can sit behind your existing studio website, with a "Buy" button taking customers to checkout.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling, typical file sizes, price range, and whether you already have a website (Squarespace/Webflow/Shopify/custom), I can narrow this down to the best 1–2 options for your studio.

Yes. For a small creative studio selling individual digital products—especially large ZIPs, video, audio, design assets, templates, etc.—there are several good options.

My shortlist

Payhip is particularly interesting for what you're describing. It gives you a storefront, checkout, digital delivery, coupons, customer accounts, and the ability to embed products on your own site. It doesn't impose storage/bandwidth limits, although individual uploads are capped at 5 GB. help.payhip.com

Gumroad is even more straightforward. Paid products can contain files up to 20 GB each, and you can attach multiple files to a product. gumroad.com

SendOwl is the one I'd look at if by "creative studio" you mean a more professional setup where you're selling things like 10–50 GB video packages, photo collections, production assets, sound libraries, or downloadable project files. It handles secure delivery, expiring links, download limits, bundles, streaming, and license keys. Its business pricing currently advertises 50 GB maximum file size and unlimited products/storage. www.sendowl.com

What I'd choose

If you're a small studio with perhaps 5–50 products, I'd start with Payhip unless your files regularly exceed 5 GB.

If you're selling huge creative files and want the platform to feel more like infrastructure for your studio rather than a creator marketplace, I'd choose SendOwl.

If you want "make a product page, put a price on it, send someone a link, they pay and download" with minimal fuss, Gumroad is hard to beat.

If you tell me roughly what you're selling (e.g. fonts, Lightroom presets, video packs, 3D assets, music, templates, courses) and typical file sizes, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their fees, branding/custom domains, Stripe/PayPal, VAT/sales-tax handling, and customer experience.
