Let your clients preview video footage before they download

WeTransfer gives every transfer a built-in preview page. Before your marketing team or client downloads a single file, they can watch footage directly in the browser, pick what they need, and leave comments on specific clips.

Browse files and folders, then download

Advertising and marketing professionals often share large batches of video footage with multiple stakeholders, and a blind download process slows everything down. With WeTransfer, recipients open a preview page the moment they click your link, where they can watch clips in-browser, mark favorites, and selectively download only the footage they actually need. Feedback stays attached to the work itself, with comments posted directly on individual files rather than arriving in a separate email thread. Your footage is delivered exactly as you recorded it, with no re-encoding, no compression artifacts, and no resolution loss at any stage, whether you are sending standard clips or 4K material. A free account is all it takes to start sending.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every transfer sent through WeTransfer includes a built-in preview page where recipients can watch video clips directly in the browser before deciding what to save. This works without the recipient creating an account or installing anything, which keeps the review process smooth for clients and agency stakeholders alike.


Recipients can preview MP4 and MOV files in the browser, up to 300 MB per file. Formats outside those types can still be transferred and downloaded through WeTransfer, but in-browser playback is limited to those two. For advertising work involving large uncompressed files, the download path remains intact regardless of format.


Yes. From the preview page, viewers can mark individual files as favorites, making it easy for an art director or client to flag the selects they want without drafting a separate document or email. You can see which clips were favorited from your transfer view, so there is no ambiguity about what the team wants to move forward with.


Yes. Comments can be posted directly on individual files within the preview, so a creative director reviewing a campaign cut can attach notes to the exact clip they mean rather than referencing timecodes in a message thread. Recipients do not need a WeTransfer account to comment, just a name and email address. You receive an email notification each time a new comment is posted.


WeTransfer gives you a few options. You can add a password to any transfer so only recipients who have it can access the preview and download. For tighter control, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, meaning the footage is only viewable by the people you name. You can also enable tracked downloads to receive a notification each time someone accesses your files, useful for checking whether a client or stakeholder has reviewed the latest cut.
