+# Publish a file to IPFS
+
+In this quickstart guide, you will learn about pinning services and the lifecycle of content-addressed data in IPFS by pinning a file to the IPFS network. By the end of this guide, you should have a better understanding of how content addressing and CIDs work from a high level.
+
+Pinning a file to IPFS is how content is published to IPFS. Any given file can be pinned to multiple IPFS nodes to increase the redundancy and resilience of a file on the network.
+
+To do this, you will use a [pinning service](../concepts/persistence.md#pinning-in-context) called [web3.storage](https://web3.storage/) for this. Pinning services are like hosting services that run an IPFS node for you and ensure your files are available to the IPFS network.
+
+> **Note:** web3.storage was chosen purely for demonstration purposes, and is one of many [pinning services](../concepts/persistence.md#pinning-in-context) you can chose from. While pinning services have different SDKs and APIs, their fundemental role is the same: to store files and make them available to the IPFS network.
+
+In this guide, you will use the web3.storage UI to upload the file. If you prefer uploading with JavaScript or Go, check out the [Web3.storage docs](https://web3.storage/docs/how-tos/store/). Alternatively,with [Filebase](https://filebase.com/) is a pinning service that offers an AWS S3 compatible API for pinning, so you can use any existing tooling
