Move large media files fast, without the friction
News and media work runs on tight deadlines and heavy files. WeTransfer sends your footage, photo packages, audio tracks, and production assets straight from the browser to any recipient, at full original quality, with nothing to install and no account required on the receiving end.
No file is too big
When a story breaks, the last thing a journalist, photographer, or producer needs is a file delivery problem. WeTransfer handles large media files directly in the browser, moving 4K footage, RAW stills, broadcast audio, and layered design assets to editors, clients, or collaborators without compressing or re-encoding anything along the way. Recipients can preview images, video, and audio in the browser before they download, so a picture editor can confirm the right selects without pulling down an entire shoot first. Every transfer gets a unique download link you can paste into a Slack message, a story brief, or a production email, and sensitive material can be locked with a password or restricted to a specific list of email addresses so embargoed content stays contained. For reporters or production teams sending across time zones, transfers can be kept active for as long as a project demands, and expired transfers can be recovered when archive access matters.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
WeTransfer accepts any file type with no restrictions, so broadcast video files, RAW stills, audio stems, PDF scripts, ZIP archives, and design files all move through the same workflow. Files arrive exactly as they were uploaded, with no re-encoding, no resolution loss, and no compression applied to the content. That means a 4K camera original or a lossless audio mix reaches the other end in the same state it left your drive.
You have two options for locking down sensitive material. Password protection lets you add a code to any transfer, so only recipients who have it can open the download. Restricted access goes further, limiting downloads to a specific list of email addresses you define, so even if a link is forwarded, no one outside that list can get in. Both are available on all plans and can be set before you send or adjusted after.
Yes. Recipients can preview images, video, audio, and PDFs directly in the browser without downloading anything first. That makes it easy for a picture editor to scan a shoot for selects, or for a producer to spot-check a clip before committing to a full download. Reviewers can also comment on individual files and mark favorites, which keeps feedback tied to the actual material rather than a separate email thread.
Free accounts support transfers up to 3 GB. WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size cap entirely, so there is no ceiling on how large a single delivery can be, which matters for teams sending multi-camera rushes, ProRes masters, or large RAW stills packages. Ultimate also allows custom expiry, meaning transfers stay live for as long as a production requires rather than expiring after a few days.
No account is needed to download or preview a transfer. A recipient clicks the link, accepts the terms, and gets straight to the files, whether they are a commissioning editor at a broadcast network or a freelance colorist picking up a delivery. Only the person sending the files needs an account, which WeTransfer creates automatically the first time you send.
