Photo links for news and media that never expire
Breaking news and editorial workflows move fast, but photo archives, press releases, and image libraries need to stay reachable long after the story runs. WeTransfer gives every photo transfer its own shareable link, and with Ultimate you can keep that link open for as long as the images remain relevant.
Share files that never expire
News photographers, photo editors, and media agencies often need shared images to remain accessible for days, weeks, or well beyond the original deadline, whether for syndication, editorial review, or archival reference. WeTransfer sends every photo in its original quality, with no compression, no re-encoding, and no resolution loss, so RAW files, TIFFs, and high-resolution JPEGs reach picture desks and wire editors exactly as they were shot. Every transfer generates a unique download link that recipients can open in any browser without creating an account, removing friction for freelancers, wire services, or international newsrooms working across different platforms. Sensitive or embargoed images can be locked with a password or restricted to a specific list of email addresses, so exclusives and pre-publication assets stay between the right people. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in EU data centers, and WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. With WeTransfer Ultimate, you can remove the expiry date on any transfer entirely, so a photo link remains live until you choose to delete it. This suits editorial workflows where images are syndicated over time, referenced in follow-up coverage, or archived for future use by other desks and partner publications.
No. WeTransfer sends every file in its original quality with no re-encoding, no resolution loss, and no changes to color profiles or metadata. A RAW file, a full-resolution TIFF, or a 4K frame grab arrives at the picture desk exactly as it left the photographer's machine.
You can add a password to any transfer before or after sending, so only recipients who know the password can open it. For tighter control, restricted access lets you specify a list of email addresses, and only those people can download the images after verifying their identity. Both options are available on all plans.
Yes. A link transfer generates a single shareable URL with no cap on the number of people who can download from it, so one transfer can serve a whole wire desk, multiple regional editors, or a network of partner publications simultaneously. If you want visibility into who accessed the files and when, you can enable download tracking before sending.
Recipients can preview images directly in the browser before downloading, with no account required. They can also comment on individual files and mark favorites, which is useful during photo editing rounds or when a picture editor is selecting from a large shoot. Previews display at a slightly lower resolution than the original, so the full-quality file is only downloaded when needed.
