Encrypted before upload. Decrypted only by the recipient. One download, then it is destroyed.
Built for professional handovers where persistence is a risk.
EU-based infrastructure. EU data protection by design.

The problem
Most file transfer tools are built for convenience and continued access.
That works for everyday sharing. It is a weak model when files are sensitive, confidential, or only meant to be handed over once.
The risk often starts after delivery: links are forwarded, files stay in inboxes, copies remain in cloud folders, and access lasts longer than intended.
VitalSend is designed for handover where persistence itself is a risk.
How it works
Extra protection
For more sensitive deliveries, you can require a password before download.
Designed for handover
VitalSend delivers once. Then it stops.
Who it is for
Privacy & data
VitalSend knows as little as possible.
All infrastructure and operations are based in the EU.
The client-side encryption code is public so the model can be independently verified.
Pricing
Plans include monthly transfer credits. Larger files and password protection use more credits.
First month from €0.90. See plans and pricing →
