Move your photos to a new phone without the hassle
Switching phones doesn't have to mean losing photos or wrestling with cables and cloud logins. Open wetransfer.com in your mobile browser on iOS or Android, upload your photos, and send them to yourself or anyone else via email or a shareable link. No app to install, and the person downloading doesn't need an account.
Transfer files from any device
When you get a new phone, moving your photos across is one of the first things you need to do, and WeTransfer makes it straightforward from any mobile browser. Upload your photos on your old device, grab the download link, and open it on your new phone — everything arrives in the original quality, with no compression or resolution loss, so your images look exactly as they did when you took them. You can send photos to yourself via email or copy a shareable link to open on any device, and recipients can preview images directly in the browser before downloading, choosing exactly which files to save. Password protection is available on every plan, so if you're sharing a personal photo collection you'd rather keep private, you can add a password before sending. WeTransfer works entirely in the browser on iOS and Android, with nothing to install on either end.

No installation needed on either end. WeTransfer runs entirely in your mobile browser, so you can upload photos on your old phone and download them on your new one by visiting wetransfer.com. The person downloading — even if that's just you on a different device — doesn't need an account or the app.
WeTransfer sends files exactly as they are uploaded, with no re-encoding, compression, or resolution changes. Whether you're moving recent camera shots, RAW files, or HEIC images from an iPhone, they arrive on your new phone in the same quality they left your old one.
WeTransfer works with all common photo formats, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, HEIC and HEIF from iOS devices, RAW formats like ARW, NEF, CR2, CR3, DNG, RAF, RW2, and ORF, as well as PSD and PSB files. You can also bundle photos into a ZIP archive or upload an entire folder and recipients download it with the original folder structure intact.
Yes. Recipients can preview images directly in the browser on iOS and Android without downloading anything first. That means you can open the transfer on your new phone, check the images look right, and then download the ones you need — or download everything at once.
On the free plan you can send up to 3 GB per transfer, which covers a large batch of photos for most people. Free accounts are capped at 10 transfers per month and links expire after 3 days, so download your photos promptly after sending. If you have a very large library or want transfers that never expire, WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size cap, lets you set any expiry date including never, and gives you 2 TB of storage.
