Get paid for your video footage before it downloads

Videographers and photographers can now price their footage directly inside a transfer. Share one link, and your video files stay locked until the client pays through Stripe. What you charge is what you receive — WeTransfer takes no platform fee.

Get paid for your work

Sending raw footage or finished video to a client should not require a separate invoice, a payment platform, or a follow-up chase. WeTransfer's paid transfers let you set a price when you create the transfer, so your video files are inaccessible until checkout is complete through Stripe. Every clip, reel, or project file arrives exactly as you shot it — no re-encoding, no compression, no resolution loss, whether you are delivering 4K footage, ProRes files, or edited MP4s. Before paying, buyers can preview supported video formats directly in the browser, so clients can confirm the footage matches what they commissioned. Paid transfers are available on all plans and work from a desktop browser.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


When creating a transfer on desktop, you will see a field to set a price before you send. Add your video files, enter the amount you want to charge, and share the link with your client. The footage stays locked until they complete payment through Stripe, at which point WeTransfer releases the files automatically.


No. WeTransfer charges no platform fee on paid transfers — the full amount your client pays goes to you. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, which may apply its own standard transaction fees, but WeTransfer does not take a cut of your earnings.


Your footage is delivered exactly as you uploaded it. WeTransfer sends files with no compression, no re-encoding, and no resolution loss, so clients receive the original quality whether you are sending 4K RAW, ProRes, H.264, or any other format you work in.


Yes. Recipients can preview supported video formats directly in the browser before completing checkout, so your client can confirm the content matches what they ordered. The full files remain locked until payment clears.


No account is needed to pay or download. Your client opens the link, completes checkout through Stripe, and gets access to the footage — no sign-up required on their end.
