Recover your expired audio transfer links
Losing access to an audio transfer link shouldn't mean losing the files. WeTransfer Ultimate keeps expired transfers in a recoverable state, so your tracks, mixes, and recordings stay reachable from your Transfers panel — even transfers sent before you switched to Ultimate.
Get your expired files back
When an audio transfer expires, the download link goes dark, but the files themselves don't have to disappear with it. WeTransfer Ultimate holds expired transfers in a recoverable state, letting you restore audio files directly from your account without re-uploading a single track. The recovery window applies retroactively, so stems, demos, or client deliverables you sent while on a Free or Starter plan may still be waiting to be pulled back the moment you upgrade. Every file comes back exactly as it was sent, with no re-encoding or quality loss, whether that's a high-resolution WAV, a lossless FLAC, or a mixed-down MP3. Free and Starter accounts have no recovery path once a transfer expires, making Ultimate the only option for keeping that door open.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes, but only after upgrading to Ultimate. Once you're on Ultimate, the recovery window reaches backwards, meaning audio transfers sent while you were on a Free or Starter plan may already be restorable from your Transfers panel. If a transfer falls outside the recovery window or was never set to recoverable, the files will have been permanently removed and cannot be retrieved.
For audio files under 256 MB, the recovery window is up to one year after the transfer expires. Files larger than 256 MB can be recovered for up to 90 days after expiry. To recover, go to your Transfers panel, find the expired transfer, and select the Recover or Restore option if it's available.
Yes. WeTransfer never re-encodes or compresses your files, so recovered audio comes back exactly as it was originally sent. Whether you transferred a 24-bit WAV master, a high-quality MP3, or a multi-track session archive, the restored file is bit-for-bit identical to what you uploaded.
Yes, the Recoverable option is enabled by default on every new transfer you create as an Ultimate subscriber, so your audio files are covered without any extra setup. You can also adjust expiry settings per transfer, or set transfers to never expire at all, which removes the need for recovery entirely.
Yes. Once a transfer is restored, recipients can preview supported audio formats, including MP3 and WAV files up to 300 MB, directly in the browser before downloading. This lets them confirm they have the right files without committing to a full download first.
