Send ZIP files from your phone
Packing files into a ZIP is a smart way to keep things tidy, but sharing that archive from a phone shouldn't be a hassle. WeTransfer runs in any mobile browser on iOS or Android — no app to install, no account needed on the receiving end. Upload your ZIP, send it to someone's inbox or grab a shareable link, and it lands exactly as you packed it.
Transfer files from any device
ZIP archives travel well: everything stays bundled, folder structures stay intact, and nothing gets altered in transit. When you're sending one from a phone, WeTransfer works right in your mobile browser — open wetransfer.com, add your archive, and choose between emailing it directly to a recipient or generating a link you can paste into any chat or message thread. Your ZIP arrives as-is, with no re-encoding or additional compression applied on WeTransfer's end. Recipients can open the download page without signing up and, on supported devices, preview certain file types inside the transfer before deciding to download the whole thing. If the archive contains anything private, you can add a password or restrict access to specific email addresses before the transfer goes out.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. WeTransfer runs entirely in your mobile browser, so there is nothing to download or install. Open wetransfer.com on iOS or Android, add your ZIP file, and send it from there. The person receiving it can download it without a WeTransfer account either.
No. WeTransfer stores and delivers your file as-is — it does not re-compress or alter ZIP archives in any way. When multiple files are packaged together for download, WeTransfer uses lossless compression, but a ZIP you upload yourself arrives at the other end exactly as you packed it.
On a free account you can send files up to 3 GB per transfer, which covers most ZIP archives. If you're regularly sending larger archives, upgrading to Ultimate removes the per-transfer size cap entirely, so you can send multi-gigabyte bundles without worrying about hitting a ceiling.
They click the download link in their email or open the transfer URL directly — no account required. On a desktop the ZIP lands in their Downloads folder and can be extracted with the built-in tools on Mac or Windows; for archives over 4 GB, a tool like The Unarchiver (Mac) or 7-Zip (Windows) handles the larger Zip64 format. On Android, Files by Google or WinZip works well.
Yes. Before you hit send, add a password in the transfer options panel and only someone who knows it can access the download. The password is not included in any notification email WeTransfer sends, so you share it with the recipient separately through whatever channel makes sense.
