Send video footage your crew can watch before downloading

Every transfer you send on WeTransfer comes with a built-in preview page. Recipients can watch your video clips directly in the browser, pick the footage they actually want, and download only those files — no account needed on their end, nothing to install.

Browse files and folders, then download

When you're sharing raw footage, cut sequences, or final video files, asking people to download everything before they can review a single clip wastes time for everyone involved. WeTransfer gives each transfer its own preview page, so editors, directors, and clients can watch your videos in the browser and decide what to pull down. Reviewers can leave comments tied to individual files and mark their favorite clips, keeping feedback attached to the footage rather than buried in a separate thread. Your video files are delivered exactly as you exported them — no re-encoding, no resolution loss, and no compression at any point in the process. A free account is all you need to start sending.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every WeTransfer transfer includes a browser-based preview page where recipients can play MP4 and MOV files directly — no download, no app, and no WeTransfer account required on their end. Video files up to 300 MB are supported for in-browser playback. If a clip is larger than that, the recipient can still download it in full original quality.


Exactly. The preview page shows all files in the transfer individually, so your editor can watch each clip, mark favorites, and download only the ones they need. They're not forced to grab the entire transfer as a zip file unless they want to — selective downloading is built into the preview experience.


No. WeTransfer transfers files without altering them in any way — no re-encoding, no resolution loss, and no quality reduction for 4K or high-bitrate footage. The preview plays at a slightly lower resolution to load quickly in the browser, but the downloadable file is always your original, untouched export.


Yes. Recipients can open any file in the preview and leave a comment tied directly to that clip, so feedback on a particular shot or sequence stays attached to the footage itself rather than arriving in a disconnected email. Comments can be left without a WeTransfer account, though non-logged-in viewers are asked for a name and email address first. You receive an email notification each time someone adds a comment.


WeTransfer lets you restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only the people you name can open the transfer. You can also add a password that recipients need before they can reach the preview or download anything. Both options are available on all plans and can be set before sending or adjusted afterwards from your Transfers panel.
