Send video footage with password protection
Photographers and videographers put real work into every shoot. WeTransfer lets you lock any footage transfer behind a password before it reaches your client, so the download stays out of reach until the right person enters the code you share. No extra software, no complicated setup, and it works on every plan.
Keep your files private
Delivering raw footage, edits, or final cuts to clients means trusting that only the right eyes land on your work. WeTransfer lets you set a password directly inside the transfer window as you upload, and that password never appears in the notification email, so you choose how and when to pass it along. Video files are sent exactly as they are, with no re-encoding or quality loss, meaning your 4K footage arrives frame-perfect. Recipients can preview compatible video files in-browser before downloading, so a client can check they have the right cut without pulling the full file onto their device. Every transfer is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on EU-based infrastructure, and your files are never sold, shared, or used to train AI models.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
When you upload your video files, look for the password field in the transfer options panel before clicking Transfer. Enter a password there, and every recipient who opens your link will be prompted to enter it before they can see or download anything. The password is never included in the WeTransfer notification email, so you share it with your client through a separate channel, such as a direct message or phone call, keeping the footage secure even if the link is forwarded.
No. WeTransfer transfers your footage in its original quality with no re-encoding, no compression, and no resolution loss, so a 4K or RAW video file arrives exactly as you shot and edited it. The password gate protects access to the transfer, but nothing touches the files themselves during the process.
No account is needed to download. Your client clicks the transfer link, enters the password you shared with them, and can immediately preview or download the footage directly in their browser. The friction-free experience on the recipient side is intentional, so clients do not hit a sign-up wall when retrieving work you have delivered.
Yes. WeTransfer includes download tracking on all plans. In your Transfers panel, each sent transfer shows whether it has been downloaded and, for email transfers, a checkmark appears next to the recipient's address once they complete the download. You can also enable tracked downloads for more detailed visibility, including the exact time a recipient accessed the files.
Yes. Go to your Transfers panel, open the transfer, and you can add, change, or remove the password at any time while the transfer is still active. This is useful if a client loses the code, if you need to rotate credentials after a project wraps, or if you want to open access to a wider team without re-uploading the footage.
