Send RAW photos straight from your phone

Photographers shooting on mobile or offloading from a camera card can send RAW files to anyone without leaving their phone's browser. WeTransfer works on iOS and Android with no app to install, and whoever you send to can download everything without creating an account.

Transfer files from any device

RAW photos need to arrive exactly as they left your camera, and WeTransfer sends them that way — no compression, no re-encoding, no quality loss at any point in the process. Open wetransfer.com in your mobile browser, add your RAW files, and choose how to deliver them: straight to someone's inbox or as a shareable link you can drop into a message, a client thread, or a DM. Formats including ARW, NEF, CR2, CR3, DNG, RAF, RW2, and ORF are all supported for in-browser preview, so your recipient can browse files before deciding what to download. If you're handing off a full shoot, you can upload an entire folder and it arrives with the original file structure intact. For anything sensitive, you can add a password or limit access to specific email addresses before the transfer goes out.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


No. WeTransfer sends files exactly as they are — your ARW, NEF, DNG, CR3, or any other RAW format arrives on the other end unaltered, with no re-encoding, no compression, and no resolution loss. The file your recipient downloads is byte-for-byte what you uploaded.


WeTransfer handles all common RAW formats, including ARW (Sony), NEF (Nikon), CR2 and CR3 (Canon), DNG (Adobe and Leica), RAF (Fujifilm), RW2 (Panasonic), and ORF (Olympus). Recipients can preview supported RAW files directly in the browser before downloading, which is handy when you've sent a large batch and they only need select shots.


Yes. Recipients can open the transfer in any browser and view supported RAW formats inline at a preview resolution before choosing what to download. They can also leave comments on individual files and mark favorites, which makes reviewing a shoot much easier than sending a download link and waiting for feedback.


Yes. WeTransfer supports folder uploads, so you can upload an entire directory from your phone and the recipient gets it with the original folder structure preserved. This is useful when your RAW files are organized by date, camera, or scene and you want to keep that organization on the other end.


Before sending, you can add a password to the transfer so only people who have it can open the download page. Alternatively, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, which means recipients verify their identity before getting to the files. Both options are available on all plans and can be set from your phone's browser before the transfer goes out.
