# IPFS

The [Interplanetary File System (IPFS)](/services/how-to/use-ipfs/migrate-to-infuras-ipfs-service/) is a distributed, [peer-to-peer (p2p)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer) storage network used for storing and accessing files, websites, applications, and data.

Restricted access

New IPFS key creation is disabled for all users. Only IPFS keys that were active in late 2024 continue to have access to the IPFS network.

Content is accessible from peer nodes located anywhere in the world. These nodes relay information, store it, or both.

To integrate your IPFS project with Infura, create an [Infura API key](/services/get-started/infura/#2-view-your-api-key).
