Send large PDFs to the job site without the hassle

Construction documents — drawings, specifications, structural reports, and contracts — are too large and too critical for email attachments. WeTransfer sends your PDFs from the browser in their original quality, with no compression, no software to install, and no account needed on the receiving end.

No file is too big

Getting the right drawings to the right people on a construction project is time-sensitive work, and file size should never be the bottleneck. WeTransfer moves your PDFs straight from the browser to every stakeholder on the job, preserving every layer, annotation, and detail exactly as it left your machine. Recipients can open a PDF preview directly in the browser before downloading, so a site engineer can check the right revision is attached before pulling it down on a mobile connection. Every transfer generates a unique link you can drop into an email, a project management platform, or a group chat, and you can add a password or restrict access to a specific list of email addresses when documents are commercially sensitive. For firms regularly distributing large document sets, upgrading to Ultimate gives you custom expiry options so links stay active for the full duration of a tender, contract, or build phase.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. WeTransfer is built for exactly this kind of delivery. You upload your PDF package from the browser, and everyone on your distribution list gets a download link they can open on any device without creating an account. If you're sending to a broad team across site offices, trades, and consultants, a link transfer lets you share a single URL as widely as needed with no recipient cap.


Nothing is altered. WeTransfer applies no compression and does no re-encoding, so every annotation, dimension, specification note, and embedded image in your PDF arrives exactly as you saved it. What you upload is what your contractor or client downloads, at full fidelity.


Yes. Compatible PDFs can be opened and reviewed directly in the browser on the WeTransfer download page, no download required. That means someone on site can check they have the correct drawing revision or the right specification document before committing to a full download, which matters when they're working on a slow mobile connection.


You have two options. You can add a password to any transfer and share it separately with the people who need access, so anyone who stumbles across the link can't open the files. Or you can use restricted access, which limits downloads to a specific list of email addresses you define, with each person required to verify their email before the files open. Both options are available on all plans.


The free plan lets you send up to 3 GB per transfer and up to 10 transfers within a rolling 30-day window, with links staying active for up to 3 days. For construction professionals sending frequent large PDF packages across long project timelines, upgrading to Ultimate removes the per-transfer size cap entirely, lets you set custom expiry dates so links stay live for the duration of a tender or project phase, and adds expired transfer recovery so you can retrieve documents even after a link has lapsed.
