The simplest way to share photos with a group

Upload your photos once and hand the whole group a single link to browse and download at their own pace. No sign-up needed to view, no compression applied, and every format from JPEG to RAW arrives exactly as you shot it.

Create your first WeTransfer album

Collect and share group photos in one place

Putting together a shared photo album for a group should take minutes, not a minor IT project. WeTransfer lets you bundle your entire collection into one transfer, then share the link in a chat thread, email, or wherever your group is already gathering. Anyone who opens the link can preview every image directly in their browser and save only the shots they actually want, whether that is one photo or the full set. JPEGs, PNGs, HEICs, TIFFs, PSDs, and RAW formats including DNG, NEF, ARW, and CR2 are all handled with no re-encoding, so colour grading, sharpness, and original resolution come through intact. If the album is meant for a specific audience rather than anyone with the link, you can lock it with a password or restrict access to a list of email addresses.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Add all your photos to a transfer on wetransfer.com, switch to link mode before hitting Transfer, and WeTransfer generates a single shareable URL once the upload finishes. Paste that link into a group chat, email thread, or social post and everyone in the group can open it in their browser without creating an account. There is no cap on how many people can open a link transfer.


WeTransfer accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, HEIC, PSD, and a wide range of RAW formats including ARW, NEF, CR2, CR3, DNG, RAF, RW2, and ORF. Files are transferred using lossless compression, so nothing is re-encoded or downsampled along the way. Every image arrives at the exact resolution it was captured.


Yes. Recipients can scroll through the full collection directly in their browser before saving anything. The preview displays at a slightly lower resolution than the original so pages load quickly, but the downloaded file is always the full-quality original. Each person can pick individual photos to download rather than pulling the whole set at once.


You have two options. Adding a password means only people who know it can open the transfer, and you share that password outside WeTransfer. Alternatively, you can enable restricted access and supply a list of email addresses, so the album is gated to exactly those recipients. Both options are available on all plans and can be set before or after the transfer is sent.


WeTransfer has a feature called Upload Requests that works well for this. You create a request link and share it with the group, and each person uses it to send their photos directly to you. You receive an email when each upload arrives, and the files land in your Received panel ready for you to download and compile. A free account is required for anyone uploading via a request link.
