Welcome to Checkpoint

Checkpoint is a modern version control system built for media-heavy workflows: games, film, product design, architecture, and more.

Why Checkpoint?​

Traditional version control systems like Git were designed for source code. Checkpoint is purpose-built for projects with large binary files, like textures, 3D models, video, and CAD drawings, where performance and workflow matter.

Key Features​

  • Fast Checkouts: Efficiently handle repositories with large files without bloating history
  • File Locking: Prevent conflicts on binary files that can't be merged
  • Branching & Merging: Familiar workflows adapted for media-heavy projects
  • Massive File Support: No artificial file size limits; large binaries are first-class citizens
