Secure file transfers for healthcare, free
Healthcare work produces files that need to move quickly and reach the right people without friction. WeTransfer lets you send medical images, PDFs, reports, audio recordings, and more directly from your browser, and whoever receives them can download without setting up an account.
The simplest, free way to share
Sharing patient documentation, diagnostic images, lab reports, or administrative files with colleagues and external partners should be straightforward, and WeTransfer keeps it that way. Every file is sent exactly as uploaded, with no compression or quality loss, so DICOM previews, high-resolution scans, and dense PDF reports all arrive intact. Each transfer gets its own unique download link you can drop into an email, a referral message, or a secure communication thread, and anyone with the link can access the files straight away. For added control over sensitive material, you can add a password or restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, both available on a free account. When healthcare workflows demand longer-running transfers, the ability to recover an expired link, or a page that carries your organization's name and branding, WeTransfer Ultimate is designed for that.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
WeTransfer supports any file type, so you can send PDFs, medical images, audio recordings, spreadsheets, ZIP archives, Office documents, and video files without any conversion or re-encoding. Files arrive exactly as they were uploaded, which matters when the quality of a scan or the detail in a radiology image cannot afford to be degraded. There is no special format required on either end.
No. Anyone you send a transfer to can download the files directly without creating an account or installing anything. This keeps handoffs to external clinics, GPs, insurance partners, or administrative staff as frictionless as possible. Only the sender needs a free WeTransfer account.
WeTransfer gives you two options for tightening access, both available on a free account. You can add a password to a transfer, which must be shared with the recipient separately, so only someone with that code can open the files. Alternatively, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, meaning the transfer will only open for recipients who match the list you define.
WeTransfer encrypts all files in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, and files are stored on AWS servers in Ireland under ISO 27001 certification. WeTransfer is GDPR-compliant and Data Processing Agreements are available for business plans, which is relevant for organizations handling personal data. WeTransfer does not view, sell, or use your files for any purpose, and files are never used to train AI models. For healthcare organizations with specific compliance requirements, reviewing the documentation at trust.wetransfer.com is a good starting point.
The free plan covers up to 3 GB per transfer and up to 10 transfers per month, with transfer links expiring after a maximum of 3 days. That works well for routine document handoffs, referral packs, or one-off file deliveries. For healthcare teams that need transfers to stay accessible longer, want to recover a link after it has expired, or need to deliver files under a branded page with a custom domain, WeTransfer Ultimate removes those constraints and adds per-transfer branding, custom expiry, and expired transfer recovery.
