Drag-and-drop file sharing for news and media teams
Pull raw footage, photo galleries, audio files, or broadcast-ready packages off your desktop and drop them straight onto WeTransfer — the upload begins the moment files land on the page. No software to install, no account required for your recipients, and nothing gets compressed or re-encoded along the way.
Uploading made effortless
Newsrooms and media teams work to deadlines where every minute counts, and a file transfer tool that demands setup or software installs is the last thing anyone needs. WeTransfer's homepage is the uploader — drag your files onto it and they start moving immediately, so you can be copying a share link or entering recipient addresses while the transfer is already underway. 4K rushes, RAW image sequences, layered design files, high-resolution PDFs, and audio masters all arrive exactly as they left your machine, with no quality loss and no re-encoding. Photographers, editors, and producers can send directly to a colleague's inbox or generate a unique download link to paste into a Slack thread, a brief, or a commission email. For sensitive assets, password protection and restricted access give you precise control over who can open a transfer, without asking recipients to jump through hoops.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
WeTransfer sends files exactly as they are, with no compression, re-encoding, or resolution loss. Whether you are uploading 4K footage, RAW stills from a shoot, or a multi-track audio session, the recipient gets the original file. On Ultimate and above, there is no cap on individual transfer size, so even bulky broadcast packages or full photographic series move without splitting.
Yes. You can drag an entire folder onto the WeTransfer homepage and it uploads with the original folder structure preserved. Recipients download it the same way it was organized on your machine, which matters when you are delivering a shoot with separated RAW, JPEG, and retouched subfolders or a video project with proxies and finals in separate directories.
No account is needed to download. Recipients click the link or the button in the notification email and go straight to their files. They can also preview images, video, audio, and PDFs directly in the browser before downloading, so a photo editor or producer can quickly check the content before pulling everything down.
You can lock any transfer behind a password, which you share with the recipient separately, so the download link alone is not enough to access the files. For tighter control, restricted access lets you specify the exact email addresses that are allowed to open a transfer, and download tracking lets you see who retrieved the files and when. These controls work on all plans, including the free tier.
Yes. Upload requests let you create a link where anyone can upload files directly to you, without needing to coordinate email addresses or set up a shared drive. Share the link with a freelancer, a stringer, or an entire contributor pool and incoming files land in your account automatically. You receive an email notification each time a new upload arrives, and contributors need a free WeTransfer account to submit.
