Charge for your images before anyone can download

As an artist or creator, your images have value — and now you can price them accordingly. Attach a fee to any image transfer, share a single link, and WeTransfer keeps your files locked until the buyer pays through Stripe. No platform fee from WeTransfer means what you charge is what you earn.

Get paid for your work

Selling image licenses, print files, or commissioned work usually means chasing payments separately from delivering files. WeTransfer's paid transfers let you wrap the transaction and the delivery into one link: set your price when you create the transfer, and your images stay inaccessible until checkout is complete. Every file arrives exactly as you uploaded it, with no compression, no re-encoding, and no resolution loss, so buyers get the originals whether you are sending high-resolution JPEGs, RAW files, TIFFs, or layered PSDs. Before paying, buyers can preview supported image formats directly in the browser, so they can see the work they are buying with confidence. Paid transfers are available on all WeTransfer plans and work from a desktop browser.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


When creating a transfer on your desktop browser, you will find the option to set a price before you click send. Once you add a price, your images stay locked and the download link only activates after the buyer completes payment through Stripe. The setup takes no longer than a regular transfer, and you can share the link anywhere, from a client email to a social media post.


WeTransfer charges no platform fee on paid transfers, so the full amount you set goes to you. Stripe processes the transaction and applies its own standard payment processing fees, but WeTransfer takes nothing on top of that. This makes it straightforward to price your images exactly as you want without working backwards from a commission cut.


Yes. Recipients can view supported image formats, including JPEGs and PNGs, directly in the browser before downloading, so they can see the work before committing to a purchase. The preview displays at a slightly lower resolution than the original, meaning the full-quality files stay protected until payment is complete. Buyers can also mark favorites and leave comments during the preview, which is useful for client approval workflows.


WeTransfer never compresses or alters your files, regardless of whether a transfer is paid or free. Your buyers receive the exact files you uploaded, with no resolution loss and no re-encoding, whether you are sending high-resolution JPEGs, RAW formats like ARW or CR3, TIFFs, or layered PSD files. What you upload is precisely what they download.


No account is required to download or purchase a paid transfer. Buyers simply open the link, complete payment through Stripe using a major credit card or Apple Pay, and then download the files directly. This keeps the buying experience frictionless, which matters when you are selling to clients or customers who may have never used WeTransfer before.
