The Business

The engine of creative collaboration.
Moving ideas at the speed of inspiration.

WeTransfer serves as a global conduit for the creative industries, enabling over 80 million monthly users across 190 countries to share large-format media with simplicity and speed. From independent artists to global agencies, users rely on its minimalist tools to transfer visual, audio, and project assets without breaking flow. Its product suite—spanning file transfer, presentations, and ideation tools—has become essential infrastructure for modern creative work.

In a digital economy where latency kills momentum, WeTransfer optimizes for immediacy without compromising on user experience. Its elegance lies in abstraction—surfacing no more than needed, doing no less than required. The result is an ecosystem that respects creative focus while delivering global scale. It doesn’t just move files. It accelerates creative output.

Creativity is the cornerstone of WeTransfer and it remains our compass.

The Data Challenge

Scaling trust across petabytes of creative data.

Behind each drag-and-drop lies a complex data system routing petabytes of high-value creative assets through a global network. Transfers trigger metadata events, retention policies, virus scans, content previews, and regional routing decisions. The challenge: orchestrating all of this while upholding privacy standards and honoring user rights, regardless of jurisdiction.

As WeTransfer expands its product stack and geographic footprint, the demands on its data infrastructure compound. It must accommodate evolving regulatory regimes (like GDPR, CCPA, and beyond) while minimizing friction for a user base that spans artists, enterprises, and education sectors. Every interaction is governed by a quiet but uncompromising constraint: protect the user without slowing the work. Compliance cannot be an overlay. It must be built into the architecture—automated, observable, and fail-safe.
