CAD files your collaborators can check before downloading

Every WeTransfer transfer includes a preview page where engineers, clients, and reviewers can inspect your shared files directly in the browser. They see what you've sent, pick out what they need, and download only those files — no account required on their end.

CAD projects often involve large batches of files — drawings, renders, reference images, PDFs, and ZIP archives — and your recipients need a way to confirm they have the right version before committing to a download. WeTransfer packages everything into a single transfer and attaches a preview page, so a client can scan a rendered image, an engineer can check a spec sheet, or a contractor can verify a drawing without saving anything to their machine first. Recipients can mark individual files as favorites and leave comments tied to specific items, keeping version feedback and approval notes attached to the exact file rather than scattered across emails. Every file you upload arrives exactly as it left your machine, with no compression, no re-encoding, and no changes to resolution or structure. You stay in control: password protection and restricted access let you decide who can open the transfer at all.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every WeTransfer transfer has a built-in preview page where recipients can view images, rendered video, PDFs, and audio files directly in the browser. They can scroll through everything you've shared, decide what they actually need, and download only those files. No account is required to preview or download.


WeTransfer supports in-browser preview for JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, RAW formats, PSD files, MP4 and MOV video up to 300 MB, MP3 and WAV audio, and PDFs. CAD-native formats like DWG or STEP don't have a browser preview, but you can include rendered images and PDF exports of your drawings alongside the source files so reviewers can inspect the work before downloading the full package.


Yes. Recipients can leave comments tied to individual files within the preview page — no account needed to comment. As the sender, you receive an email notification for each new comment, so feedback on a specific drawing or render stays attached to that file rather than ending up in a separate email thread. You can enable or disable comments per transfer before or after sending.


Add all your files — drawings, renders, PDFs, ZIP archives, reference images, whatever the project needs — directly to the transfer window on WeTransfer. You can also upload entire folders, and recipients download them with the original folder structure intact. Everyone you share the link with gets the same preview page and can pull individual files rather than downloading the whole batch.


WeTransfer gives you two layers of access control. You can add a password to any transfer — only recipients who know the password can open it — and the password is never included in the notification email, so you share it separately. For tighter control, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only those people can open the transfer after verifying their identity. Both options are available on all plans and can be set or changed after sending.
