A free WeTransfer alternative that never uploads your files.
SuperSend sends big files straight from your device to theirs. Up to 5 GB at a time on Free, as often as you like, with no account for you or for them.
Nothing is uploaded to a server first, so there's no upload wait, no monthly allowance and no copy left behind.
Big files, without the upload wait or the monthly cap.
01
No upload first
Most transfer sites make you upload the whole file before they send a link. SuperSend starts sending the moment they open your link, straight from your device.
02
No monthly count on Free
Send up to 5 GB at a time, as often as you like. WeTransfer's free plan stops at 10 transfers or 3 GB a month.
03
Nobody needs an account
Not you to send on Free, and never the person receiving. They open the link or scan the QR code in any modern browser.
04
Your files aren't kept
Files travel encrypted from your device to theirs. If a network blocks that, Basic and Super use a relay that can't read them and keeps nothing.
05
A flat price when you need more
Basic is £20 a year for 20 GB sends, passwords and emailed links. Super is £10 a month for sends up to 100 GB.

QUESTIONS
Switching questions
Is SuperSend really free?
Yes. Free sends up to 5 GB at a time, as often as you like, with no account. Basic (£20 a year) and Super (£10 a month) add bigger sends, passwords, emailed links and a backup route for networks that block a direct connection.
Can I use the free plan for work?
Yes. SuperSend's free plan has no personal-use-only rule.
Why does my page need to stay open?
Your files go straight from your device to theirs and are never uploaded to us. Once they have everything, you can close it.
Does the person receiving need anything?
No account and no app. They open your link or scan the QR code in any modern browser.
What if their network blocks the connection?
Some office and hotel networks do. On Basic and Super, SuperSend passes the encrypted files through a relay that can't read them and keeps nothing. On Free, try another network, like mobile data.
