Know exactly who's viewed your RAW photo deliveries

Delivering RAW files to clients or collaborators leaves you guessing unless you can see what happened after the link was opened. WeTransfer shows you when recipients preview your photos and when they download them, giving you real engagement data to act on.

Keep count of who views your transfer

Photographers sharing RAW files for review, selection, or approval need more than a sent confirmation. WeTransfer lets you track preview activity and downloads separately, so you can tell whether a client browsed your shots in the browser or pulled the full files to their machine. Enabling download tracking before you send ties every access event to a verified email address and a precise timestamp, which means your follow-ups are grounded in what actually happened. For confidential shoots or unreleased work, restricted access lets you limit who can reach the transfer to a specific list of email addresses, so your RAW files stay out of the wrong hands. Files are delivered in their original quality, with no re-encoding or resolution loss, whether you are sending ARW, NEF, CR2, DNG, or any other RAW format.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. WeTransfer records preview activity and downloads as separate events, so you get two distinct signals per recipient. You can see whether someone opened your RAW files in the browser preview and whether they also downloaded the full transfer, all from the Transfers panel.


Before clicking Transfer, enable download tracking in the transfer settings panel. Once it is on, every access event is tied to a verified email address and an exact timestamp. For email transfers you can also see a per-recipient checkmark confirming who has downloaded, with the precise date and time visible on hover.


Yes. When you send to multiple recipients, each person's preview and download activity is logged separately, so you can see which contacts have engaged and which have not. This makes it straightforward to follow up with only the people who have not yet reviewed your work.


Yes. Restricted access lets you limit a transfer to a named list of email addresses. Anyone who opens the link must verify their email, and access is only granted if they match your list. It works on all plans and takes effect immediately, even after the transfer has already been sent.


Recipients can preview RAW formats including ARW, NEF, CR2, CR3, DNG, RAF, RW2, and ORF directly in the browser, without downloading anything. The preview displays at a slightly lower resolution than the original, which lets clients browse and select specific shots before choosing to download only what they need. The downloaded files are always the originals, with no compression or quality loss.
