Send PDFs free, right from your browser

The simplest, free way to share

Whether you're sharing a contract, a portfolio, a report, or a presentation, WeTransfer moves your PDFs exactly as they are — no compression, no quality loss, no reformatting. Recipients can preview PDFs directly in the browser before deciding to download, so they can confirm it's the right file without any extra steps. Every transfer gets its own unique link you can drop into an email, a message, or anywhere else, and there's no limit on how many people can open it. You can also lock a transfer behind a password on any plan, which is handy when a PDF contains anything sensitive. When you need transfers that stick around longer, or want to present your files under your own branding, upgrading to Ultimate gives you custom delivery options and a branded page to match.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. A free WeTransfer account lets you upload and send PDFs straight from your browser with no software to install. You can share via a unique download link or send directly to a recipient's inbox. The person receiving the file can download it without creating an account.


Yes. WeTransfer has built-in browser previews for PDFs, so recipients can read through the document before committing to a download. They can also leave comments on individual files in the preview, which is useful for quick feedback on a proposal or draft. No account is needed to preview or comment.


WeTransfer sends files without altering them in any way — your PDF arrives with its original formatting, fonts, and page layout fully intact. There's no re-encoding or compression applied during transit, so what you upload is exactly what the recipient gets.


Yes, password protection is available on all plans including free. Before sending, add a password in the transfer options panel and share it with your recipient separately — WeTransfer doesn't include it in the notification email. Only someone with the correct password can access the files, which is useful for confidential documents.


The free plan gives you up to 3 GB per transfer and up to 10 transfers per rolling 30-day window, with transfers expiring after 3 days. That covers most everyday PDF sending. If you regularly send large document batches, need transfers to stay live past three days, or want to deliver files under your own branding, WeTransfer Ultimate removes transfer size limits, lets you set any expiry including never, and adds a fully branded page and custom email experience.
