Know who's looking at your RAW photos

Share RAW files and get a real read on engagement. WeTransfer records a preview count on every transfer automatically, and switching on access control adds a named, timestamped log so you can see exactly who opened your RAW photos and when.

Keep count of who views your transfer

Photographers often need more than a delivery confirmation — knowing whether a client has actually looked at your RAW files changes how and when you follow up. WeTransfer records preview activity on every transfer from the moment it's shared, with no settings to configure. When a total view count is not enough, enabling tracked or restricted access gives you a per-recipient record: each viewer's name and the time they opened the transfer. Download tracking can be switched on separately if you also want to know who saved copies of your files. RAW formats including ARW, NEF, CR2, CR3, DNG, RAF, RW2, and ORF can all be previewed in the browser, so clients see your work at a glance before deciding what to pull down.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


WeTransfer supports in-browser preview for a wide range of RAW formats, including ARW (Sony), NEF (Nikon), CR2 and CR3 (Canon), DNG, RAF (Fujifilm), RW2 (Panasonic), and ORF (Olympus). Recipients can view the preview without downloading the file or creating an account, making it easy for clients to review a shoot before committing to a full download.


When you create or manage a transfer, switch the access mode to tracked or restricted. Once that is enabled, WeTransfer builds a log showing each recipient who previewed the transfer along with the time they opened it. The basic preview count is always visible on every transfer regardless, but the named log only appears when access control is turned on.


WeTransfer does not send email notifications for previews, so there is no alert the moment someone views your files. Instead, the preview count and per-recipient log (when access control is enabled) are available in your transfer list whenever you want to check in. Download tracking does generate notifications if you have that option switched on separately.


Yes. Preview tracking is always on by default, and download tracking can be enabled at the same time. Together they give you a clear picture of engagement: you can see who opened the transfer for a look and who actually saved your RAW files to their machine.


WeTransfer never compresses or re-encodes your files. RAW photos are transferred exactly as you uploaded them, preserving every byte of the original file. The in-browser preview displays at a slightly reduced resolution so it loads quickly, but the download your client receives is the untouched original.
