Share course materials students can preview at a glance
WeTransfer gives every transfer a built-in preview page that opens straight in the browser. Students, parents, and colleagues can flip through lesson materials, watch instructional videos, and review PDFs without downloading a single file first. They need no account and no app to do any of it.
Browse files and folders, then download
Educators regularly move large, mixed batches of files between teachers, students, and administrators, and a preview page means recipients can confirm they have the right materials before anything lands on their device. Whether you are sharing a recorded lecture, a scanned worksheet, an audio file for a language class, or a presentation deck, each file in the transfer is viewable directly in the browser at full fidelity. Students can mark individual files as favorites and leave comments tied to specific items, so questions and feedback stay attached to the exact resource rather than getting buried in a separate message. Nothing about your files changes in transit: no compression, no re-encoding, and no quality loss, so a high-resolution diagram or a detailed rubric arrives exactly as you created it. For transfers containing sensitive student work or confidential assessments, you can add password protection or restrict access to a named list of email addresses.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Students can preview images (including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and PSD), video files such as MP4 and MOV, audio files including MP3 and WAV, and PDFs, as well as Office documents like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files, all directly in the browser. This means a student can watch a recorded lesson, listen to a pronunciation exercise, or skim a reading guide before deciding what to save to their device. Previews are available on web, iOS, and Android, so students on tablets or phones in the classroom have the same experience.
Yes. The preview page lets recipients browse each file individually and choose to download only the ones they need, instead of pulling the entire transfer as a zip. A student working on one assignment, for example, can grab just the relevant worksheet and leave the rest. They can also mark specific files as favorites, which helps when reviewing a large pack of course materials.
Yes. Anyone viewing a transfer preview can leave comments tied to individual files, so a student can ask a question about a specific page of a handout, or a department head can annotate a draft curriculum document, all within the transfer itself. Comments do not require a WeTransfer account from the viewer, just a name and email address. As the sender, you receive an email notification each time a comment is added.
You can add a password to any transfer so only recipients who know the password can open the preview page or download the files. For tighter control, the restricted access option lets you specify a list of email addresses, and only those individuals can open the transfer after verifying their identity. Both options are available on all plans and can be set before you send or adjusted afterwards from your transfers panel.
No account is needed on the recipient side. Anyone who receives a transfer link can open the preview page, browse the files, leave comments, and download what they need, all without signing up. Only the person sending the transfer needs a free WeTransfer account, which is created automatically the first time you send.
