Share campaign files that expire on your schedule
As a marketing or advertising professional, you decide when a brief, creative asset, or campaign deliverable stops being accessible. Set a closing date on any transfer and the link goes dark automatically, keeping time-sensitive work from circulating past its usefulness.
Transfer expiration is in your hands
Advertising and marketing work moves in cycles, and the files that belong to one phase of a campaign often shouldn't be reachable once the next one begins. WeTransfer lets you attach an expiry to a transfer before you send it, so access closes on its own without any manual tidying up afterward. Campaign decks, mood boards, video edits, audio spots, and design assets of any format travel without compression, arriving exactly as you saved them. For handoffs that need an extra layer of control, you can combine expiry with password protection or restrict the transfer to a specific list of email addresses, so only the right people at an agency or client side can get in. Recipients can also preview compatible files directly in the browser before downloading, which makes approval rounds faster when deadlines are tight.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
When you set up a transfer on WeTransfer, you will find an expiry option in the transfer window before you click send. Choose the date you want the link to stop working and WeTransfer handles the rest automatically. Free and Starter accounts can set expiry up to 3 days. On Ultimate and above, you can choose any custom duration or keep the transfer open indefinitely.
Yes. Go to your Transfers panel, open the transfer, and update the expiry date from there. The change takes effect immediately, so if a deadline shifts or a client needs more time, you can extend or shorten the window without resending anything. It is worth letting recipients know directly, since they will not receive an automatic notification when the date changes.
WeTransfer handles any file type, including video edits, audio spots, PDF presentations, InDesign and Illustrator files, high-resolution images, ZIP archives, and Office documents. Files are sent without any compression or re-encoding, so a 4K video cut or a layered design file arrives exactly as it left your machine. You can also upload entire folders and recipients will get them with the original structure intact.
Yes. When setting up the transfer you can enable restricted access and add a list of email addresses. Only recipients whose addresses match that list can open the transfer, even if the link is forwarded elsewhere. You can combine this with a password for an additional layer of protection, which is useful for pre-launch campaigns or pitch materials that need to stay tightly controlled until the right moment.
Once the expiry date passes, the download link becomes inactive and the files are removed from WeTransfer's servers. Recipients who try to open the link after that point will find it no longer works. On Ultimate and above, senders can recover an expired transfer within a set recovery window, which can be useful if a client comes back after a deadline asking for files that were part of a previous campaign phase.
