What you can send with a free WeTransfer account

A free account covers a wide range of everyday sending needs. Upload videos, photos, documents, design files, audio, and more straight from your browser, then share a download link or send directly to someone's inbox. The person on the other end can download everything without creating an account.

Send your first transfer

The simplest, free way to share

Sending files with WeTransfer starts without any software to install and without asking your recipients to sign up for anything. Every transfer gets a unique download link you can drop into a chat, an email, or wherever you already communicate, and there is no cap on how many people can use that link. Your files travel exactly as you uploaded them, whether that is a high-resolution image, a layered design file, a 4K video, or a ZIP archive, with no compression or quality loss applied at any point. You can also add a password to a transfer or restrict access to specific email addresses if the material needs to stay private, and both of those controls are available at no cost. When your work calls for longer-lasting transfers, a branded delivery experience, or the ability to recover a link after it has expired, WeTransfer Ultimate is the natural next step.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


WeTransfer places no restrictions on file type. You can send videos, images, audio files, PDFs, design files, Office documents, 3D and CAD files, ZIP archives, and anything else you need to move. Files are sent exactly as they are, so a RAW photo, a layered Photoshop file, or a high-resolution video arrives at the other end in the same condition it left yours.


No account is needed on the receiving end. Anyone with your download link can access and download the files straight from their browser, and they can also preview images, videos, audio, and PDFs before downloading anything. Sending, however, does require a free account on your side.


There is no limit on how many people can use a download link. Once you have the link, you can paste it into a group chat, post it, or forward it to as many people as you like, and everyone can download from it. If you prefer to send files directly to someone's inbox instead, a free account supports up to 10 email recipients per transfer.


Yes, both options are available on every plan including free. You can add a password before or after sending, and recipients need it to open the transfer. You can also restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only the people you name can download. Neither feature costs anything extra.


Free accounts allow up to 10 transfers and up to 3 GB of total usage per rolling 30-day window, and transfer links expire after a maximum of 3 days. That covers most routine sending, but if you regularly send large batches, need files to stay available for longer, want to recover a link after it has expired, or would like a branded page and custom subdomain, WeTransfer Ultimate is designed for that.
