How Wormhole Works
A revolutionary approach to file sharing that puts your privacy first. No servers, no storage, no compromises.
Simple 4-Step Process
Drop your files
Drag and drop any file up to 10GB. Multiple files are bundled together automatically.
Encrypted locally
Your files are encrypted using AES-256-GCM right in your browser before anything leaves your device.
Get a secure link
A unique link is generated containing the decryption key in the URL fragment (never sent to servers).
Direct P2P transfer
Files transfer directly from your browser to the recipient via WebRTC — no servers store your data.
