See who's opened your shared presentation

Sending a proposal, pitch deck, or client presentation means nothing if you can't tell whether anyone looked at it. WeTransfer lets you see who previewed your slides in the browser and who downloaded them, with each access tied to a verified email address and a timestamp.

Keep count of who views your transfer

When a presentation is sitting with a client, knowing whether it has been opened changes how you follow up. WeTransfer lets recipients view PowerPoint and PDF presentations directly in the browser before downloading, and that preview activity is recorded in your Transfers panel as a separate signal from a full download, so you can distinguish someone who browsed your deck from someone who saved it. Enabling download tracking logs every access event against a verified email address, giving you a named record of exactly who engaged with each file and when. If your presentation is going to a defined group, such as a hiring panel, a client team, or a board, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses so the file stays out of reach for anyone not on it. Presentations are delivered exactly as uploaded, with no changes to formatting, embedded fonts, or layout.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. When a recipient opens your presentation in WeTransfer's in-browser preview, that activity is recorded in your Transfers panel as a distinct event, separate from a download. This means you can tell whether someone viewed your slides without pulling the full file, which is useful context when deciding how and when to follow up on a proposal or pitch deck.


When you enable download tracking, each access event is logged with the recipient's verified email address and the exact date and time they engaged with the file. If you sent the presentation to multiple people, such as separate contacts at a client organisation, you can see each person's activity individually rather than a single combined count.


Yes. When creating your transfer, you can enable restricted access and provide a list of email addresses. Anyone who opens the link will need to verify their email, and access is only granted if their address matches your list. This works well for confidential proposals, board presentations, or any deck intended for a named group rather than a general audience.


Yes, if you enable comments before sending. Recipients can open any file in the preview and leave feedback directly on it, without needing to download the presentation first. As the sender, you receive an email notification for each new comment, and you can disable comments at any time from your Transfers panel.


No. Recipients can preview and download your presentation without creating an account or installing anything. A free WeTransfer account is only required to send transfers, not to receive them.
