How big a file can you send with WeTransfer?
Free accounts handle files up to 3 GB, which covers most everyday sending needs. If your work runs to larger deliveries, heavier file types, or batches that push past that, there are options worth knowing about. Either way, whoever receives your files can download them without signing up for anything.
The simplest, free way to share
Getting files out the door quickly is the whole point, and WeTransfer is designed to make that as frictionless as possible. Upload from any browser, no software to install, and your files are sent exactly as they are, with no compression, no re-encoding, and no quality loss along the way. Every transfer gets its own unique download link you can share in a chat, an email, or anywhere else you already communicate. You can also send directly to someone's inbox, and if the material is sensitive, adding a password or restricting access to specific email addresses costs nothing on any plan. For work that calls for larger batches, longer-lived links, or a branded delivery experience, WeTransfer Ultimate removes the size ceiling and gives you full control over how and how long your files stay available.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Free accounts let you send up to 3 GB per transfer. That covers a lot of ground for everyday files like PDFs, Office documents, ZIP archives, images, and shorter video clips. If you regularly work with heavier material, WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size cap entirely.
No. WeTransfer sends your files exactly as they were uploaded, with no re-encoding, no compression, and no resolution loss. A 4K video, a high-resolution image, or a large CAD file arrives at the other end in precisely the same condition it left your machine. The only packaging that happens is zipping multiple files together for a single download, which is lossless.
WeTransfer handles virtually any file type: videos, RAW images, PDFs, audio files, 3D and CAD formats, design files, Office documents, ZIP archives, and more. There is no restricted list based on format. The only hard limit is the size cap tied to your plan, not the type of file you are sending.
Yes. You can upload an entire folder and WeTransfer preserves the folder structure for the recipient when they download. This is useful when you need to deliver a project directory, a batch of assets organised into subfolders, or any collection of files where the layout matters.
If you need to send files larger than 3 GB, want transfers that stay active without expiring, or need features like a branded delivery page, per-transfer customization, or the ability to recover a link that has already lapsed, WeTransfer Ultimate is the plan to look at. It also includes malware scanning, custom expiry control, and unlimited transfers, making it the natural fit for professionals who send large or sensitive files regularly.
