Share PDFs with anyone in education via a link
Upload your PDF to WeTransfer and get a unique download link you can drop into a learning management system, an email, or a class message thread. Students and colleagues click to download, no account needed on their end.
One link, instant access
Teachers, lecturers, and instructional designers often need to get PDFs into many hands fast, whether that is a syllabus, a reading pack, a research paper, or an assessment brief. WeTransfer generates a shareable link the moment your upload finishes, so you can paste it wherever your students or staff already are. Your PDFs arrive exactly as you prepared them, with no compression or formatting changes, which matters when precise layout, fonts, and embedded diagrams need to stay intact. Recipients can also open a PDF preview directly in the browser before downloading, so they can check it is the right document without pulling the file to their device. For anything sensitive, like draft exam papers or student-facing materials with restricted access, you can lock the link with a password or limit downloads to a specific list of email addresses.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. Every WeTransfer link transfer has no recipient cap, so you can paste the same URL into a course page, a group chat, or a broadcast email and every student can download from it. There is no need to upload the PDF multiple times or create separate links per person.
WeTransfer transfers files without any compression or conversion, so fonts, embedded images, page layout, and hyperlinks all arrive exactly as you saved them. This is particularly useful for educational PDFs where a changed layout or missing diagram could confuse learners.
Yes, recipients can open a PDF preview directly in the browser without downloading anything first. That means students can quickly confirm they have the right document, and only save it to their device when they are ready, which is handy when sharing multiple course materials at once.
Before sharing the link, you can add a password to the transfer so only recipients who know it can access the file. You can also restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, meaning the link will not work for anyone outside that list. Both options can be set when uploading or adjusted afterwards from your transfers panel.
On a free account, transfer links are available for up to 3 days, which suits one-off or time-limited distributions. On Ultimate and above, you can set a custom expiry date or keep the link active indefinitely, making it easier to host course materials that students need access to throughout a full term or academic year.
