Send construction drawings without the file size headache

CAD files, blueprints, and technical drawings are too large for email and too important to compress. WeTransfer sends them straight from your browser, exactly as exported, with no quality loss and no software to install on either end. Recipients open a link and download, no account needed.

Send your first transfer

No file is too big

Construction projects run on precise files, and a drawing that arrives corrupted, resampled, or split into parts is a problem no site team needs. WeTransfer moves your CAD files, PDFs, and drawing sets in their original format, with no re-encoding or compression applied, so the file your recipient opens is identical to the one you uploaded. Every transfer gets a unique download link you can share by email, message, or directly in your project management tool, and recipients never need to create an account to access it. If you're sharing sensitive plans with specific contractors or consultants, you can restrict access to a list of approved email addresses or lock the transfer behind a password. Upload an entire folder of drawings and it arrives with your original file structure intact, keeping sheet sets and revisions organized just as they left you.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


WeTransfer sends any file type without modification, so DWG, DXF, RVT, IFC, DGN, and PDF drawing exports all transfer exactly as they are. There is no re-encoding or format conversion at any point. Your recipient downloads the file in the same state it left your machine.


A free WeTransfer account supports transfers up to 3 GB per transfer, with up to 10 transfers per rolling 30-day window. If you're working with large Revit models, multi-discipline drawing sets, or full project archives that exceed that, upgrading to Ultimate removes the per-transfer size limit entirely and gives you 2 TB of storage to work with.


Yes. You can send a drawing package to multiple recipients in one transfer. With email delivery, free accounts support up to 10 recipients per transfer, and paid plans raise that to 50. Alternatively, a link transfer gives you a single download URL you can share with an entire project team, a client, or a subcontractor group, with no recipient cap on the link itself.


You can restrict access to a transfer so that only people on a specified list of email addresses can download it. Anyone else who opens the link is blocked. You can also add a password as an extra layer, which is useful when sharing sensitive structural or services drawings with consultants outside your organization.


On a free account, transfers are available for up to 3 days from the moment they are sent. If your project runs longer and you need drawings to remain accessible throughout construction, upgrading to Ultimate lets you set a custom expiry or keep transfers live indefinitely. Ultimate also lets you recover any expired transfer you have ever sent, which is useful when a subcontractor needs to re-download superseded drawings for records.
