See exactly who's viewed your photo and video deliveries
Sending a gallery, a film cut, or a shoot package to a client is only part of the work. WeTransfer shows you who previewed your files in the browser and who downloaded them, so you know where a project stands before you pick up the phone or send a follow-up.
Keep count of who views your transfer
Photographers and videographers often send high-stakes work, final selects, rough cuts, or full resolution galleries, and not knowing whether a client has actually looked at it creates real uncertainty. WeTransfer records preview activity and download events separately for every transfer, giving you two distinct engagement signals right inside your Transfers panel. Turn on download tracking before you send, and each access event gets tied to a verified email address and an exact timestamp, so your client conversations are based on what happened, not what you assumed. For unreleased footage, licensed images, or anything you want to keep in careful hands, restricted access lets you limit a transfer to a named list of email addresses, ensuring only intended recipients can open the files. Every format you work with, from RAW stills and PSD layups to 4K video files and ZIP archives, travels without compression or quality loss, arriving exactly as it left your machine.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes, these are tracked as two separate signals. Preview activity shows you that a recipient opened and viewed files in the browser without committing to a download, while download activity confirms they pulled the files to their device. Both are visible in your Transfers panel, which means you can tell whether a client has browsed a gallery or a rough cut without yet downloading, helping you decide whether a follow-up nudge makes sense.
In the transfer settings panel before clicking send, enable download tracking under the Access Control options. Once active, anyone who accesses the transfer will need to verify their email address, and each download event is logged with their address and a precise timestamp. You can review this activity any time from the transfer's detail page in your Transfers panel.
Yes. When download tracking is enabled, every access event is tied to the individual email address used to verify, so if you send a gallery link to an art director, a creative director, and a production coordinator, you see each person's activity logged separately. For email transfers specifically, a checkmark appears next to each recipient's address once they download, and hovering over it shows the exact time.
Restricted access lets you specify a list of email addresses before sending, and only recipients whose addresses match that list can open the transfer after verifying their identity. Anyone else who stumbles on the link sees an access denied state. This is useful for delivering licensed images to a single publication, sharing a director's cut before an official release, or sending client selects that shouldn't circulate beyond the people you've named.
WeTransfer handles the formats photographers and videographers work with every day, including RAW files such as ARW, NEF, CR2, CR3, DNG, and RAF, as well as JPEG, TIFF, PSD, PSB, MP4, MOV, and ZIP archives. Nothing is re-encoded, resampled, or compressed during transit, so a 4K video file or a full-resolution RAW image arrives byte-for-byte as you uploaded it. Recipients can also preview supported formats directly in the browser before downloading, which is handy when a client wants a quick look at selects without pulling down a large archive.
