Send raw footage to your newsroom without limits

Deadlines don't wait, and neither should your footage delivery. WeTransfer moves large video files from your browser to any recipient, at full resolution, with no re-encoding, no compression, and nothing for the receiving end to install.

No file is too big

News and media teams need footage to arrive fast and intact, whether it's a field reporter sending 4K rushes from location or a post-production editor pulling clips from a remote crew. WeTransfer handles video files of any size directly in the browser, preserving every frame exactly as it was captured, so broadcast-quality footage never gets degraded on its way to the edit suite. Every transfer produces a unique download link you can drop into a Slack channel, a story brief, or a direct message, with no account required for the person receiving it. When material is embargoed or time-sensitive, you can lock a transfer with a password or restrict access to specific email addresses so footage reaches only the people who should have it. For teams sending high-volume rushes or archiving large productions, WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size ceiling and keeps files available for as long as your project requires.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


No. WeTransfer never re-encodes, compresses, or alters your video files in any way. Whether you're sending 4K RAW camera files, ProRes masters, or H.264 rushes, every frame arrives exactly as it left your camera or editing timeline. Broadcast and news workflows depend on original quality, and WeTransfer keeps it that way.


Yes. Recipients can preview supported video formats, including MP4 and MOV files up to 300 MB, directly in the browser without downloading anything first. This is especially useful when an editor needs to quickly check which clips from a multi-file transfer are worth pulling down on a tight deadline or a slow connection. They can also leave comments on individual files and mark favorites, making remote editorial feedback faster.


You have two options. Adding a password to a transfer means only recipients who know it can access the files, and that password is never included in the notification email, so you share it separately through a secure channel. Alternatively, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so even if the link is forwarded, only approved recipients can open the transfer. Both controls are available on all plans.


Yes. WeTransfer supports full folder uploads, and recipients download them with the original folder structure intact. This means a camera operator can upload an organized set of rushes exactly as they're sorted on their card, and the editor receives them in the same structure, ready to ingest, without any manual reorganization.


Free accounts support transfers up to 3 GB, which covers smaller clips but quickly fills up with broadcast-quality footage. WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size ceiling entirely, so a single send can cover a full day's rushes, a multi-camera shoot, or an archive package without splitting files. Ultimate also gives you flexible or unlimited expiry, so links to archived footage stay live for as long as you need them, and you can recover expired transfers when a past delivery needs to be retrieved.
