Collect and share group photos in one place
Switching away from Google Photos often comes down to one frustration: too many permissions, too many prompts, and too much friction for the people you're trying to share with. WeTransfer lets you upload a photo collection once and hand everyone a clean link that opens a browsable gallery straight in their browser. Every format you shoot in comes through untouched, whether that's JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF, PSD, or RAW files like DNG, NEF, ARW, CR2, and CR3. People can preview individual shots, mark their favorites, drop comments on specific photos, and pick exactly which images they want to save rather than downloading the whole batch. For sharing with a controlled audience, you can lock the link behind a password or restrict it to a defined set of email addresses before anyone sees the first frame.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Google Photos requires recipients to have a Google account and accept an invitation before they can view anything. With WeTransfer, anyone with the link can open and browse your photos directly in their browser with no account, no app, and no sign-in step. You stay in control of access through optional password protection or a restricted email list, rather than managing permissions through a third-party platform.
Yes. Recipients can scroll through your entire photo set in the browser preview, see each image at a comfortable viewing resolution, mark favorites, and leave comments on specific shots. They can then choose to download only the photos they want rather than pulling down the full collection as a zip. This works on desktop and mobile without installing anything.
WeTransfer does not re-encode, compress, or alter your files in any way. RAW formats including DNG, NEF, ARW, CR2, and CR3, alongside JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF, and PSD, all pass through exactly as you captured them. The in-browser preview displays at a slightly lower resolution so pages load quickly, but whatever recipients download is the original, untouched file.
Before sending, you can add a password that recipients need to enter before they can view or download anything. Alternatively, the restricted access option lets you specify a list of email addresses, so only those exact people can open the transfer after verifying their identity. Both options work on all plans and can be set up in seconds before you hit send.
WeTransfer's upload requests let you create a link that anyone can use to upload photos directly to you. Share the link with your group, and each person can send their shots without you needing to chase anyone down or coordinate a shared folder. A free account is needed to upload via a request, and you get an email notification each time someone submits new files.
