Share videos your recipients can watch before downloading

Every transfer you send through WeTransfer comes with a built-in preview page. Recipients can watch your videos directly in the browser, pick what they want to save, and leave feedback — all without downloading a thing or creating an account.

Browse files and folders, then download

When you share video files through WeTransfer, recipients arrive at a preview page where they can watch clips in the browser before committing to a download. That workflow suits anyone sending rushes to a director, cut reviews to a client, or motion work to a collaborator — the footage is right there, no guesswork involved. Viewers can favorite specific files in the transfer and post comments tied to individual clips, so notes arrive attached to the work rather than scattered across messages. Your video files are delivered exactly as you uploaded them — no re-encoding, no resolution loss, no compression artifacts, whether you're sending standard footage or 4K files. A free account is all you need to start sending.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every transfer includes an in-browser preview page where recipients can play MP4 and MOV files directly — no download, no account, and no software required on their end. They can watch before deciding whether to save anything to their device.


No. WeTransfer does not re-encode, compress, or alter your files at any stage. Whether you upload a 1080p edit or a 4K master, recipients get exactly what you sent — the preview plays at a slightly lower resolution for streaming speed, but the downloaded file is your original.


Yes. Recipients can comment directly on individual files from the preview page — no download needed and no WeTransfer account required on their end. Comments are tied to the specific file, so feedback stays organized rather than arriving in a separate email thread.


WeTransfer supports in-browser preview for MP4 and MOV files up to 300 MB. Files outside those formats or above that size are still transferred at full quality, but recipients will need to download them to play them locally.


Yes. You can add a password to any transfer so only people who have it can access the preview page. You can also restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only named recipients can view or download your footage — useful when sharing unreleased cuts or client-only work.
