Share medical images with links that never expire

Healthcare teams often need shared images to stay accessible well beyond a standard transfer window. WeTransfer gives you a clean, unique link for every transfer, and with Ultimate you can keep that link open for as long as your workflow requires.

Share files that never expire

When you're sharing diagnostic images, reference scans, or clinical photography, the files need to remain reachable whenever a colleague or specialist returns to them, not vanish after a few days. WeTransfer sends every image in its original quality, with no compression or re-encoding, so a TIFF, DICOM export, RAW file, or high-resolution JPEG arrives exactly as you captured it. Each transfer gets its own unique download link that recipients can open from any browser without creating an account, making access simple for clinicians, administrators, or partner facilities. You can lock any transfer behind a password or restrict access to a named list of email addresses, so sensitive patient-adjacent imagery stays between the intended parties. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in EU data centers, and WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, meeting the data governance expectations of healthcare organisations.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. On WeTransfer Ultimate, you can set a transfer to never expire, meaning the download link remains active until you choose to delete it. This is useful in healthcare settings where radiology images, clinical photos, or reference materials need to stay reachable for ongoing case reviews or multi-site collaboration. Free plan transfers expire after three days, so a paid plan is required for long-term access.


No. WeTransfer does not compress, re-encode, or alter your files in any way. A high-resolution JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or RAW image sent through WeTransfer arrives at the recipient's end in exactly the same state it left yours, with no resolution loss or colour profile changes. This matters in healthcare, where image fidelity can be clinically significant.


You can protect any transfer in two ways: add a password that recipients must enter before downloading, or use restricted access to limit downloads to a specific list of email addresses you approve. Both options are available on all plans and can be set before sending or adjusted from your Transfers panel after the fact. Restricted access also gives you a detailed notification each time someone downloads, so you have a clear record of who accessed the images.


Yes. Link transfers have no recipient limit, so you can share one download link with as many colleagues, departments, or partner facilities as needed. If you use email delivery instead, paid plans support up to 50 recipients per transfer. Either way, every recipient can preview images directly in the browser before choosing to download them, with no account required on their end.


WeTransfer encrypts all files in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stores data on AWS infrastructure in EU data centers, and holds ISO 27001 certification. The platform is GDPR-compliant, and Data Processing Agreements are available for business plan customers. WeTransfer never views, sells, or shares your files, and content is never used to train AI models. For healthcare teams handling patient-adjacent imagery, these are the baselines you would look for when evaluating any file-sharing tool.
