NDF: The revolutionary new file format that allows offline use of interactive experiences
With Stornaway’s unique NDF interactive video file format, you can download your projects and host them securely on your own network, Amazon S3 storage, or CloudFront CDN.
This means your interactive experiences can also be played completely offline, perfect for locations with limited internet access, exhibitions, training environments, or secure internal networks.
For users on our higher-level subscription plans, the NDF format also future-proofs your content supply chain. You’ll be able to keep a full offline archive of your projects, even if you end your Stornaway subscription or if our platform evolves in the future. Your projects remain yours, safe and accessible wherever you need them.

Why our customers choose Stornaway
Frequently asked questions
If I publish a project, do I have to keep subscribing to keep it online?
When you sign up, you get a full year’s bandwidth allowance as shown above. If you’re on a monthly payment plan, you get the allowance for as long as you keep your plan active. If you want to pause your plan between projects and keep a project public, contact us.
Can you explain Publishing Data (bandwidth)? How much do I need?
‘Bandwidth’ can mean different things in different contexts. In this case, it concerns video which is delivered over the internet as data. The amount of public data transferred is called bandwidth, and that we are charged for by our internet suppliers. Using more bandwidth is a good thing, as it means that you have more viewers watching your story.
Stornaway.io not only provide the best interactive storytelling tools, we also provide our beautiful interactive player and hosting and streaming of your video at the highest quality available to your viewers, without showing ads over your story.
As we all know from our own YouTube browsing, not everybody who starts a video watches the whole thing, so we don’t just measure a simple total number of people who viewed briefly – bandwidth measures what’s actually watched.
Most Stornaway.io creators never hit their data limits. If you’re in the lucky top percent who do, we’ll be in touch in plenty of time. If you know you’re presenting to a really big audience, get in touch – we have different options to suit you.
Where is Stornaway hosted?
Stornaway is hosted securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) – the world’s leading cloud platform – and delivered through Amazon CloudFront, a global content delivery network (CDN). This means your interactive videos are fast, reliable, and available worldwide, no matter where your audience is.
AWS data centres meet strict international standards for security and compliance, giving you enterprise-grade reliability without the complexity.
If you need even tighter control for regulated industries, we also offer self-hosting options on higher-level plans.
How do I pause my subscription?
We know that production starts and stops. Get in touch and we can pause your account until you’re ready to get going again.
Does subscribing remove the watermark?
To remove the Stornaway watermark from the top left of your player window, you will need to sign up for the Hosting Plan.
To create a fully-branded interactive experience, you can remove the Stornaway logo at the bottom-right of the player controls and control the player colours. 1 white-labelled project is available on Premium Starter plan. More white-labelled projects are available on our Premium Content and custom plans.
Can I upgrade at any time?
Yes, you can upgrade at any time! Stornaway is designed to grow with you and your team, so you only pay for what you need when you’re ready to scale. No complicated contracts or hidden fees – just flexibility.
Can I deliver my project offline, without Stornaway hosting?
Yes – we offer 2 export options for delivering projects offline or within closed networks.
Non-linear Document Format (NDF):
Stornaway experiences can be downloaded in our unique NDF interactive video file format, and hosted on your own network, S3 storage and Cloudfront CDN.
They can also be delivered for playing offline in locations with limited internet connections.
For those on our higher subscription plans, this format future proofs your content supply chain, meaning you can keep an offline archive of your projects, even if you terminate your contract with Stornaway or if the Stornaway editing platform is acquired or changed in future.
App Builder service:
For individuals and organisations on a Premium Learning plan or above, our App Creation Service turns your Stornaway projects into standalone apps – perfect for conferences, trade shows or other locations where internet connections are unreliable.
Our team can create apps for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, Smart TVs, VR headsets including Meta Quest, and even game consoles.
This allows your teams to experience immersive training, interactive simulations, or 360 VR content without needing a live connection. It’s a streamlined, all-in-one solution – you won’t find a simpler way to deliver immersive, interactive training experiences at scale!
Can Stornaway support me with project delivery?
Absolutely.
Stornaway enables a new generation of powerful interactive content, but getting the most out of it and producing truly effective experiences requires a different way of thinking about video structure, flow and user engagement strategies.
For teams creating high-value interactive projects, we offer professional support packages and consultancy to help you plan, build, and deliver your projects successfully. Whether you need hands-on help or strategic advice, our team is here to support you access to our senior specialists, giving you a fresh set of expert eyes to shape the journey, unlock new ideas to improve engagement and help translate subject-matter expertise into compelling user pathways.
