Share photos your way, not Apple's way
iCloud works fine until someone isn't on an iPhone, or you need more control over who sees what. WeTransfer lets you share any photo collection as a single browsable link that opens in any browser, on any device, with no Apple ID required.

Collect and share group photos in one place
If iCloud keeps locking out friends on Android or Windows, the problem isn't the photos, it's the platform. WeTransfer takes any batch of images and turns it into a shareable link where recipients can browse, preview, comment on, and selectively download exactly what they want, all without creating an account. Every format comes through exactly as captured, whether JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF, PSD, or RAW files like NEF, ARW, DNG, CR2, and CR3, with no recompression or resolution loss at any point. You stay in control too: lock the link with a password, restrict access to specific email addresses, and track who has downloaded which files. For gathering photos from others rather than just sending your own, a WeTransfer upload request gives anyone a link to contribute their shots directly to you.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
iCloud shared albums require an Apple ID and the Photos app, which immediately excludes anyone on Android or Windows. With WeTransfer, you share a single link that opens a full browsable photo preview in any browser on any device, and recipients don't need an account to view or download the images.
Yes. You can create an upload request and share that link with anyone who has photos to contribute. Each person uploads their shots directly to you through that link, and you get an email notification each time someone sends files. Once everyone has contributed, you can bundle the whole collection into a new transfer and share it back with the group.
No. WeTransfer sends every image in its original quality with no re-encoding or resolution loss, whether you're sharing JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, PSD, or RAW formats like DNG, NEF, ARW, and CR2. The file recipients download is identical to the file you uploaded.
You have a couple of options. You can add a password to the transfer so only people who know it can open the link. Alternatively, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, meaning anyone outside that list is blocked even if they have the URL. Both options are available on all plans.
Yes. Recipients can preview photos directly in their browser, no download required, and leave comments on individual images or mark their favorites. That makes it easy for a group to call out the shots they love before anyone pulls down the full set. They can also choose to download only the specific images they want rather than saving everything at once.
