File sharing with lasting links for retail

Retail teams share product imagery, planograms, supplier briefs, and campaign assets that colleagues and partners return to long after the original send. WeTransfer gives every transfer its own download link, and with the right plan you control whether that link stays open for a day, a season, or indefinitely.

Share files that never expire

Retail moves fast, but the files behind it, lookbooks, visual merchandising guides, packaging specs, promotional videos, and wholesale catalogues, need to stay reachable well beyond a single campaign cycle. WeTransfer sends every file exactly as it was uploaded, so high-resolution product photography, print-ready PDFs, and video content reach buyers, suppliers, and store teams without any quality loss. Recipients open the link in any browser without creating an account, which means no signup friction when sharing with external vendors or new franchise partners. You can password-protect sensitive pricing documents, restrict access to specific email addresses, or turn on download tracking to confirm a supplier has retrieved the assets they need. Your files belong to you, they are never sold to third parties, and they are never used to train AI.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. On WeTransfer Ultimate and above, you can remove the expiry on any transfer so the download link stays active indefinitely, or set a custom date that suits your campaign timeline. That means a lookbook or wholesale catalogue shared with a buyer in January is still accessible in March without anyone needing to re-upload. Free plan transfers expire after a maximum of 3 days, so for evergreen retail content a paid plan is the right fit.


WeTransfer handles any file type without modification, including high-resolution JPEG and PNG product photography, layered PSD or design files, print-ready PDFs, MP4 promotional videos, ZIP archives of seasonal asset packs, and Office documents like range plans or supplier contracts. Files are sent in their original quality with no compression or re-encoding, so what a buyer or agency receives matches exactly what was uploaded.


You can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only the recipients you name can open the transfer after verifying their identity. For broader sharing where you still want visibility, tracked downloads prompt anyone with the link to verify their email before downloading, and you see exactly who accessed the files and when. Both options are available across all plans and can be updated after a transfer has already been sent.


Yes. Recipients can preview images, video, audio, and PDFs directly in their browser without downloading anything first, which is useful when a buyer wants to check a product shot or a franchisee needs to confirm they have the right version of a floor layout. Previews have been used more than 59 million times since launch, and no WeTransfer account is required to view them.


On the Free plan, expired transfers cannot be recovered and the files are permanently deleted from WeTransfer's servers. On Ultimate and above, you can recover expired transfers, including ones that expired before you upgraded your plan, so an accidentally short-lived link does not mean the work is gone. To avoid the situation entirely, Ultimate users can set transfers to never expire, keeping seasonal assets and supplier materials available for as long as the relationship requires.
