- What is WeTransfer?
- WeTransfer is a file transfer service that turns large files into a download link, with no account needed to receive.
- What does it do?
- Uploads files and generates a share link, sent by email or copied manually, which expires after a set period. Size limits, retention, password protection and branded transfer pages vary by plan.
- Who is it for?
- Designers, photographers, video editors and agencies sending big files to clients who should not have to sign up for anything. Not a place to store files long term.
- What are the alternatives to WeTransfer?
- Smash and Filemail take very large transfers with the same no-account simplicity; SwissTransfer is a Swiss-hosted equivalent; Wormhole sends files end-to-end encrypted.
