ABOUT
IPFS Companion harnesses the power of your locally running IPFS node (either through the IPFS Desktop app or the command-line daemon) directly inside your favorite browser, enabling support for ipfs:// and ipns:// addresses, automatic IPFS gateway loading of websites and file paths, easy IPFS file import and sharing, and more.
IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, more resilient, and more open. It enables the creation and dissemination of completely distributed sites and applications that don’t rely on centralized hosting and stay true to the original vision of an open, flat web. Visit https://ipfs.tech to learn more.
FEATURES
- Automatically use IPFS to retrieve sites, files, and other resources already stored on IPFS (including redirecting DNSLink hostnames to IPNS names via your choice of gateway)
- Support content-addressed IPFS paths (/ipfs/) and URIs (ipfs://) in your browser, and redirect them to the gateway of your choice
- Share files from your browser by importing them to your local IPFS node via right-click or drag-and-drop, including the option to preload files at a public gateway
- See how many peers you’re connected to at a glance from your browser’s menu bar
- Check gateway info and API status with a single click
- Copy shareable links, snapshot links, IPNS/IPFS paths, and CIDs for IPFS-hosted sites
- Common IPFS tasks — like pinning files and launching your IPFS Web UI dashboard — are available right in your browser
- Options to toggle IPFS redirects globally or per website
- Choose between connecting to your local IPFS node via the HTTP API or running a js-ipfs node directly in your browser
IMPORTANT NOTE
You’ll need to have a local IPFS node running on your computer to enjoy all IPFS Companion's features — either from your terminal or using the friendly, free IPFS Desktop app. Visit https://ipfs.tech to learn more and install.

Latest reviews
- (2023-02-06) Michael Loftis: The extension does what it says...but god knows what else it is doing. When enabled Chrome uses a whole CPU core at all times.
- (2022-10-27) Paige Weber: Majorly slowed down my browser to the point that I had to remove it. While I was using it, it was nice. IPFS links worked seamlessly and I could direct it to my local IPFS node
- (2022-06-29) Daniel Norman: Great way to use IPFS directly from Chrome
- (2022-06-13) Singsen: chrome网速变的特别特别慢，我也找了好多天才发现是这个插件搞的鬼
- (2022-03-31) 老中医林有德: 你们开发的是不是脑瘫？这个插件开了以后必须代理才可以访问互联网？
- (2022-01-03) Radim Kolář: Works good
- (2021-12-13) hd Yu (HD): 还是不错滴。。
- (2021-10-30) Thinkronicity: NFT anyone? Ever wondered how they get to be one? Wanna be in on that? From a whole other angle? FB or IPFS? The future of one day that IPFS will be the "digital dirt" that all springs from and all has access to. Who doesn't have 50 GB of hard drive space? they would like 'cloud' accessible? No Matter What? Forever Clout IPFS Desktop version
- (2021-10-21) ye kongkong: 会导致浏览器卡住！！！
- (2021-09-06) Darik Horn: This browser extension is unreliable at the few sites that try to publish through IPFS, and it misbehaves if sync'd through a profile to a browser instance that isn't backed by the the IPFS Desktop software, like on a Chromebook. The protocol itself is better described as a fancy bittorrent, and not a filesystem, because IPFS doesn't implement basic things like folders and directories, and things like IPNS are way too complex for casual users or samizdat to use safely.
- (2021-06-23) TelFiRE: Works fine until you have uploaded a certain number of files (somewhere in the 100-200 range). Then it just stops accepting imports.
- (2021-03-26) Raj Gada: The WebUI is broken and never works
- (2021-03-04) Partha Pratim: when i updated it from github new version after that it stopted working
- (2021-02-08) Mubelotix: Great integration with Brave's implementation
- (2021-02-08) Astor Snow: Amazing!
- (2021-02-06) Дмитрий: Google Chrome х64, при установленном приложении совместно с плагином, инет грузиться очень медленной, хуже чем через бесплатный VPN плагин. Удалил. Может быть будет полезным, в будущем, а может и нет. Я так понимаю что упирается в совокупную пропускную способность пиров, как в торрент сети. К сожалению сетевой социализм в таких вещах не работает.
- (2021-01-30) Andrew Chobaniuk: Causes mouse cursor to enter a busy state every second or so.
- (2020-12-16) Yacun Xuan: 装了这个扩展以后，chrome必须挂代理才能访问包括国内网站在内的所有网页…… excuse me？？？？？？ 我挂知乎半天问为什么chrome升级87版本打开网页超级慢，然后挨个删除扩展，最后发现原来是这个扩展的问题！！！！
- (2020-11-05) carl json: Why did I upload the file and report an error：Unable to import to IPFS:TypeError: Failed to fetch
- (2020-04-05) Gyuri Lajos: Just add this extension to the Brave Browser. In settings pick the IPFS Node type to be "Embedded + chrome.sockets (experimental) and your browser becomes your own node on the Decentralized Web. Amazing.
- (2020-04-02) Ruben: I haven't found a bug so far. Works flawlessly and fast with a local daemon :)
- (2020-02-13) Chris Harpner (CSharpner): Worked GREAT for a long time, but for the past several weeks, my laptop has been taking FOREVER to load ANY web page. Speed tests and DNS tests showed there was nothing wrong with those. I started disabling extensions one by one and narrowed the problem down to this one. Please Fix and I'll move it back up to 5 stars!
- (2019-07-19) Roger Lewis: Brilliant does what it says on the tin, watch this video http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/QmdYxwLA48pCU1PsQHH8BJon12vVHoMjbr4EpAJFQyZxVr/Grubstreethereisthenews.mp4 or browse this web site http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/QmZkXSMPAN96j84KTfAnuy1PQDKfSnhGJLFRu4uZypWHge/gcmaf.se/index.html Our New Publishing platform Grub Street on OIP with Alexandria will combine IPFS , with the Flo Blockchain for a truly Artist led monetisation experience cutting out the Big Tech monoplies. https://longhairedmusings.wordpress.com/2019/07/16/grubstreettags-grubstreetjournal-grubstreetpolitics-grubstreetgeopolitics-grubstreetpoliticaleconmy-grubstreetfilm-grubstreetmainstreammedia-grubstreetsamizdat-grubstreetdissidentcontent-g/
- (2019-07-09) Molly Mackinlay: This plus IPFS Desktop (https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop) makes my IPFS browsing experience seamless! Love it.
- (2019-04-19) Marcus Agard: Works perfectly, and comes with great setup instructions. 5/5
- (2019-02-22) Emile: Worked before, now it tells me I have to check the browser console. Unable to initialize addon due to error Error: Invalid value for argument 2. Property '.2': Value must be one of: [requestHeaders, blocking]. at validate (extensions::schemaUtils:34:13) at validateListenerArguments (extensions::webRequestEvent:19:5) at WebRequestEventImpl.addListener (extensions::webRequestEvent:92:3) at WebRequestEvent.publicClassPrototype.(anonymous function) [as addListener] (extensions::utils:138:26) Aaaaaaand it's dead.
- (2019-01-29) Jared Grippe: Works great. We need more IPFS in our lives!
- (2018-08-06) Toni Dinges: Didn't connect!
- (2018-07-24) Henry Wilkinson: Fantastic work by the IPFS team. Everyone who uses IPFS in any capacity should definitely install it!
- (2018-04-22) :PREDRAG :SAINT-GERMAIN: BRILLIANT APPORACH.. VERY SMOOTH WITH AKASHA.. I NOW HOPE MINDS.COM AND OTHER RINKEBY NETWORK USERS WILL START USING IT... BLESSING FOR BRILLIANT WORK.. PSG..
- (2018-04-19) A bit buggy if I try to setup my own node with HTTPS support, it allways adds the port 0 ... https://192.168.x.x:0/ipfs/... Edit: The second version is really buggy, can't even pin any content from within companion anymore...
- (2018-04-18) starrychloe S.: The embedded JS version worked with Akasha. But I wonder how much memory it takes up? How do you pin something, and how much memory do pinned items take?
- (2018-02-26) Arie Skliarouk: works perfectly on chromium 64
- (2017-12-29) Xavi Vives: It does what it promises.
