Common formats merchants sell
Most stores upload everyday consumer formats: PDFs and ebooks, audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF), video (MP4, MOV, MKV), images (PNG, JPG, GIF, RAW, PSD), software installers (DMG, EXE, MSI, ZIP), and 3D assets (OBJ, FBX, STL, GLB). Alva treats every one of these the same way — bytes saved to object storage, served back through a signed download link.
Alva admin Files page showing 5–6 example files with mixed extensions visible: a PDF, an MP3, a ZIP, an MP4, plus one or two more (e.g. a PSD or OBJ). Each row shows the filename, file-type icon, and size. No real customer data visible.
Niche and creator-specific formats
Niche formats work the same way. Lightroom presets (.xmp, .lrtemplate), Cubase and Ableton project files (.cpr, .als), font files (.otf, .ttf, .woff, .woff2), Procreate brushes, ebooks (.epub, .mobi), executables, and CAD exports all upload without any conversion or rejection. If your customer's software opens it, Alva can deliver it.
ZIP packs for bundles
When a product needs more than one file, bundle the files into a Pack. Alva regenerates the ZIP automatically whenever the pack contents change, so customers always download the latest version. See Bundle multiple files into a pack for the setup steps.
