WeTransfer Alternative
The WeTransfer alternative that's actually free — and won't train AI on your work.
15GB per transfer free. Unlimited transfers. AES-256 encrypted. A flat $14.99/month when you need up to 1TB — with no per-gigabyte fees and no clause in the fine print that lets us touch your files.
Why people are leaving WeTransfer
After WeTransfer was acquired in 2024, its free plan was cut to a monthly transfer cap with links that expire in days, and in 2025 it briefly updated its terms to allow uploaded files to be used to improve AI/ML models — a clause it reversed after public backlash. If you send client work, both of those are good reasons to look elsewhere. ATLAS was built around the opposite defaults: a genuinely generous free tier, flat pricing, and a plain promise that your files are never used to train AI.

Built for sending work to clients
A free tier that's actually usable
15GB per transfer and unlimited transfers — about five times WeTransfer's free file size, with no monthly cap to bump into mid-project.
Your files stay yours
No AI training. No content analysis. No surprise terms-of-service update. Your transfers are encrypted and only your recipients can open them.
Proof it arrived
Get a delivery receipt the moment your client downloads — so "I never got the file" stops being your problem.
One flat price
$14.99/month for transfers up to 1TB. No per-gigabyte charges, no matter how big the file or how many times it's downloaded.
Controls that come standard
Passwords, link expiry, download caps, and notes — on every transfer, not locked behind the top tier.
Previews before download
Clients can preview stills and photos in the browser before pulling the whole package down. Less back-and-forth.
When WeTransfer is still the right call
We'll be straight with you: WeTransfer is a household name, and if you only send the occasional small file and already live inside its ecosystem of design and paste tools, it may be all you need. ATLAS is for people who send larger files regularly, deliver work to paying clients, and want predictable pricing plus a clear promise about how their files are handled. If that's you, the free account takes about a minute to set up.
