WeTransfer for photographers: why it fits your workflow
Photographers need a file transfer tool that respects their work. WeTransfer sends RAW files, high-resolution images, and full shoot folders at original quality, with no compression and no re-encoding. Recipients download everything straight from a browser link, no account required.
Why choose WeTransfer
Choosing a file transfer service as a photographer comes down to one thing: do your files arrive exactly as you shot them. WeTransfer sends every file in its original quality, whether that's a RAW from your mirrorless camera, a layered PSD, a 4K video clip, or a folder of client selects with its directory structure intact. Recipients preview images, video, and PDFs directly in the browser before downloading, and they can comment on individual files and mark favorites, making client feedback a natural part of the handoff. Password protection and per-transfer access control let you decide exactly who can reach your work. For photographers delivering to clients regularly, WeTransfer Ultimate adds per-transfer branding, custom expiry settings so transfers stay live as long as you need, and the ability to recover a transfer even after it has already expired.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
No. WeTransfer transfers every file in its exact original state, with no re-encoding, no resolution reduction, and no quality loss. RAW files, TIFFs, PSDs, and high-resolution JPEGs all arrive byte-for-byte as they left your drive. The only packaging that happens is a lossless ZIP when recipients download multiple files at once.
Yes. Recipients can open images, videos, and PDFs directly in their browser without downloading anything first. The preview displays at a slightly reduced resolution so they can review selects and choose only the files they actually need. They can also leave comments on individual images and mark favorites, which makes client approval rounds much smoother.
Yes, WeTransfer supports folder uploads. You upload the folder as-is and recipients download it with the original structure preserved. That means your organized subfolder layout, whether by date, subject, or file type, stays intact on their end without any manual reassembly.
WeTransfer accepts any file type with no restrictions, including RAW formats like ARW, NEF, CR2, CR3, DNG, RAF, and RW2, as well as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, PSD, and PSB. It also handles MP4 and MOV video, ZIP archives, and design files. In-browser preview is supported for JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, and many RAW formats, so clients can view files without a dedicated editing application.
WeTransfer gives you a few layers of control on all plans. You can lock any transfer behind a password that only your intended recipients know. You can also restrict access to a specific email address or list of addresses, so only those people can open the link after verifying their identity. Download tracking lets you see exactly who downloaded your files and when, which is handy for confirming a client has received a delivery.
