Send healthcare files with a secure download link
Upload patient records, medical imaging, lab reports, or administrative documents to WeTransfer and receive a shareable link the moment your files are ready. Drop it into an internal communication system, a referral email, or a partner portal, and recipients can download directly from their browser without signing up.
One link, instant access
Healthcare professionals routinely need to move sensitive files across teams, clinics, labs, and external partners, and the handoff should not slow anyone down. WeTransfer creates a unique download link as soon as your upload finishes, so you can share files through whatever channel your workflow already runs on, from a secure email thread to a clinical coordination platform. Every file arrives exactly as it left your system, with no compression or re-encoding, so DICOM images, high-resolution scans, PDF referral letters, and structured data exports reach recipients with nothing changed. When content is sensitive, you can add a password to the link or restrict access to a defined list of email addresses, so only the intended recipients can open it. Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on EU servers, and WeTransfer is GDPR-compliant, which matters when the files contain personal health information.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Sign in to WeTransfer, switch the transfer window to link mode by clicking the ellipsis icon and selecting the link option, add your files, and click Transfer. Once the upload completes, WeTransfer generates a unique URL you can copy and paste into any email, messaging system, or referral workflow your team uses. Recipients click the link and download straight from their browser, no account required on their end.
Yes. Before sending, you can enable restricted access and provide a list of email addresses that are allowed to download. Anyone who opens the link must verify their email, and access is only granted if they match your list. You can also add a password as a separate layer of protection, which you share with recipients through a secure channel outside WeTransfer.
No. WeTransfer sends files in their original state, with no compression, re-encoding, or quality changes of any kind. Whether you are sharing high-resolution radiological images, multi-page scanned referral letters, or structured data exports, the file the recipient downloads is byte-for-byte identical to the one you uploaded.
WeTransfer is GDPR-compliant and based in the EU, with files stored on AWS servers in Ireland. All transfers are encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, and the platform is ISO 27001 certified. Data Processing Agreements are available for business plan customers, which is relevant when transfers include personal health data that falls under data controller and processor obligations. Note that WeTransfer does not currently hold HIPAA certification, so US-based covered entities should evaluate this against their specific compliance requirements.
Recipients can preview PDFs, images, audio, and video directly in their browser without downloading anything first, which is useful when a transfer contains multiple documents and a colleague only needs one specific file. Previews are displayed at a slightly reduced resolution, so the recipient can verify the content and choose exactly what to download. No account is needed to preview or download.
