Data files your recipients can explore before downloading

Every WeTransfer transfer comes with its own browser-based preview page. Share datasets, reports, and supporting files in one link, and let your recipients step through the contents, pick what they need, and download only that — no account required on their end.

When you're sending data files, the last thing you want is someone downloading a full batch just to check if it contains what they need. WeTransfer attaches a preview page to every transfer, so recipients can open spreadsheets, PDFs, images, audio, and video directly in the browser before saving anything locally. Each person can mark individual files as favorites and leave comments tied to specific items, keeping feedback anchored to the exact file rather than scattered across separate messages. Your data arrives exactly as you uploaded it, with no alterations to structure, formatting, or content. Password protection and access control are available on all plans if you need to limit who can open the transfer.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every WeTransfer transfer has a built-in preview page where recipients can open and review files directly in the browser. They can then choose to download individual files or the full set, so no one has to pull down everything just to check a specific dataset or report.


Recipients can preview images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and others), video (MP4, MOV up to 300 MB), audio (MP3, WAV up to 300 MB), PDFs, and Office documents including DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, CSV, and TXT files up to 256 MB. Files outside those supported types are still delivered in full and can be downloaded even if they can't be previewed in-browser.


Yes. Anyone with access to the transfer can click into an individual file on the preview page and leave a comment directly on it. Comments are tied to the specific file, so feedback on a CSV export or a data report stays attached to that file rather than ending up in a separate email chain. No WeTransfer account is needed to comment.


Absolutely. You can bundle spreadsheets, PDFs, ZIP archives, images, and any other file types into one transfer. Recipients open the preview page, scan through the contents, and download individual files rather than the whole batch. Folder uploads are also supported, and the original folder structure is preserved when recipients download.


You can add a password to any transfer so only recipients who know it can open the preview page. For tighter control, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, meaning only the people you name can get through even if the link is shared further. Both options are available on all plans and can be set before or adjusted after sending.
