Share raw footage with links that last
In news and media, a clip shared today can become a key reference months down the line. WeTransfer gives every video transfer its own unique download link, and with Ultimate you can keep that link open for as long as the footage remains in use.
Share files that never expire
Journalists, producers, and archivists need footage to stay accessible on their schedule, not disappear after a few days. WeTransfer sends video files exactly as they were shot, with no re-encoding and no resolution loss, so 4K rushes, broadcast-ready masters, and raw camera files reach editors and partners in their original state. Every transfer gets a unique download link that recipients can open in any browser without signing up, removing friction for newsrooms, wire services, or freelance contributors working across different systems. For sensitive footage, you can add password protection or restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, keeping unpublished material between the right people. WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified, GDPR-compliant, and stores files on EU servers, which fits the security and data governance standards media organisations work within.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. With a WeTransfer Ultimate plan, you can set a custom expiry on any transfer or remove the expiry date entirely, keeping footage accessible for as long as your workflow requires. That makes it practical for archive clips, reference reels, or footage that gets revisited during an evolving story. Free transfers expire after up to 3 days, so permanent access requires upgrading to Ultimate or above.
No. WeTransfer sends files in their original quality with no compression, re-encoding, or resolution loss. A 4K broadcast master, a RAW camera file, or a high-bitrate news package arrives at the other end exactly as you uploaded it. For media professionals where technical quality is non-negotiable, this matters.
Free accounts can send files up to 3 GB per transfer, which covers many standard video formats but may fall short for long-form or high-bitrate footage. On Ultimate and above, there is no per-transfer size cap, so broadcasters and news agencies can send full-resolution rushes, multi-camera packages, or entire shoot days without splitting files.
Yes. You can add a password to any transfer so only recipients who know it can open the download link. You can also use restricted access to limit downloads to a specific list of email addresses, and enable download tracking so you see exactly who accessed the footage and when. These controls are available on all plans and work well for embargoed material or unpublished investigative content.
Ultimate, Teams, and Enterprise users can recover expired transfers within defined recovery windows: files under 256 MB can be retrieved for up to one year after expiry, and files over 256 MB for up to 90 days. This is useful for media archives where a clip sent months ago suddenly becomes relevant again. Free and Starter users cannot recover expired transfers, so for long-term archive access, setting transfers to never expire on Ultimate is the more reliable approach.
