transfer.sh seems to do some kind of user agent sniffing and it displays the files in a HTML wrapper in the browser. Which is fine, but it should also display a raw link to the file which does not ever add the wrapper because now it is impossible to view images in their full size or use JSON-formatting extensions to view json files in browser.

When we had links to the raw url, the service was abused by phishers which included the raw images and scripts within their phishing sites. We've chosen for a solution that when the referer is transfer.sh the raw file will be shown. I'll look into a solution.
