Wormhole is a low-friction web app for sending files with end-to-end encryption and automatically expiring links. Key features include:

  • No account required for one-off file transfers
  • Browser-side encryption before upload
  • Expiring share links with download limits
  • Peer-to-peer transfers when both people keep the page open
  • Large-file sharing without leaving files in a long-term cloud drive

Use Wormhole when you want something easy enough for normal file sharing. Because the hosted app is not fully open source, treat it as a convenience pick rather than a highest-risk sharing workflow. For stronger anonymity and a fully open-source option, use OnionShare.
