Video footage, shared with links that stay on

Video work has a life beyond the delivery deadline. WeTransfer gives every transfer a unique download link, and with Ultimate you decide when that link closes, whether that is a month from now or never.

Send your first transfer

Share files that never expire

Editors, cinematographers, and content creators need their footage to stay reachable long after the initial send, whether a client wants to revisit a cut, a collaborator needs to pull a specific clip, or a reel needs to stay live as a portfolio piece. WeTransfer sends video files exactly as they were captured, with no re-encoding, no resolution loss, and no compression artifacts, so 4K footage and RAW files arrive in the same condition they left your drive. Each transfer gets its own unique download link that recipients can open in any browser without signing up, so there is no account wall between your footage and the people who need it. Recipients can also preview supported video formats directly in the browser before downloading, letting them confirm the right file before committing. Password protection and email-based access restrictions give you an extra layer of control when sharing unreleased or sensitive footage with a defined group.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes, on Ultimate and above you can set a transfer to never expire, meaning your download link stays live until you choose to delete it. This is useful for portfolios, evergreen reference clips, or ongoing client relationships where footage needs to stay accessible on demand. Free accounts have a fixed maximum expiry, so permanent links require an upgrade. You can also adjust the expiry on any active transfer from your Transfers panel if your needs change.


No. WeTransfer transfers your video files in their original state, with no re-encoding, no quality reduction, and no change to the container or codec. Whether you are sending 4K ProRes footage, H.264 exports, or RAW video files, what your recipient downloads is identical to what you uploaded. The zip packaging used for multi-file transfers is lossless, so nothing is altered there either.


Yes. Recipients can play back MP4 and MOV files up to 300 MB directly in the browser before downloading, so they can confirm the clip is the right one without pulling the full file first. Previews display at a slightly lower resolution than the original, keeping the original file quality intact for download. Viewers can also comment on individual files and mark favorites directly in the preview, making feedback on footage straightforward.


Link transfers give you a single shareable URL with no recipient cap, so you can post it in a Slack channel, embed it in an email, or drop it anywhere without worrying about who clicks. If you want tighter control, email delivery lets you send directly to up to 50 recipients on paid plans. For folder-structured projects like multi-camera shoots or organized deliverable packages, WeTransfer preserves your folder hierarchy so recipients download everything with the original structure intact.


You can add a password to any transfer so only recipients who know it can access the files. For tighter control, the restricted access option limits downloads to a specific list of email addresses, and download tracking lets you see exactly who downloaded and when. These features are available across all plans, giving you meaningful control over sensitive work-in-progress footage regardless of whether you are on a free or paid account.
