Send code files your team can browse before downloading

Every WeTransfer transfer includes a built-in preview page, so developers, reviewers, and collaborators can open the files you've shared directly in the browser. They step through what's there, pick what they need, and download only those files — no account required on their end.

Browse files and folders, then download

Sharing code alongside supporting assets like documentation, screenshots, and PDFs is common, and recipients often want to confirm they have the right files before pulling anything down. WeTransfer wraps every transfer in a preview page where people can browse images, watch videos, listen to audio, and view PDFs in the browser before committing to a download. You can send your source files, ZIP archives, READMEs, and design references all in one transfer, and each recipient decides exactly which files to save. Reviewers can leave comments tied to individual files and mark favorites, keeping feedback attached to the specific asset rather than scattered across messages. Every file lands exactly as you uploaded it, with no compression or changes to structure.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every WeTransfer transfer has a built-in preview page that recipients open in the browser. They can view images, PDFs, audio, and video files without downloading anything first, then choose to download individual files or the full transfer once they know what they need.


WeTransfer's preview supports images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, PSD, and RAW formats), video (MP4, MOV up to 300 MB), audio (MP3, WAV up to 300 MB), and documents including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX. Code files like .js, .py, or .html are not directly renderable in the preview, but you can include screenshots, diagrams, and documentation alongside them so reviewers get the full picture before downloading.


Yes. Recipients can leave comments tied to individual files in the transfer preview — no WeTransfer account needed on their end. The transfer owner gets an email notification for each comment, so feedback on a specific README or screenshot stays attached to that file rather than getting lost in a separate thread.


Absolutely. You can include a ZIP archive alongside other file types in a single transfer. The ZIP travels as-is, while any images, PDFs, or video files you add separately are fully previewable on the transfer page. Recipients can review the supporting materials in the browser and download the archive only when they're ready.


WeTransfer gives you a few ways to control access. You can add a password to any transfer — only recipients who know it can open the files. For tighter control, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only people you've named can download. You can also enable download tracking to see exactly who accessed your transfer and when. All of these options are available on every plan.
