Send video footage via a shareable download link

Upload your video to WeTransfer and get a unique link the moment the upload finishes. Share it anywhere — a production chat, a client brief, a social post — and recipients can preview or download straight from their browser, no account required.

One link, instant access

Getting raw footage, cuts, or finished video files to collaborators and clients should not involve compressing your work or wrestling with attachment limits. WeTransfer generates a download link as soon as your upload completes, so you can drop it into whatever channel you are already using and move on. Your files travel without any re-encoding or resolution loss, meaning a 4K clip, a ProRes master, or a high-bitrate MOV arrives exactly as it left your timeline. Recipients can preview supported video files directly in the browser before they download, which is handy when you have bundled multiple versions of a cut and they only need one. If the footage is confidential, you can lock the link with a password or limit access to specific email addresses before you share it.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Sign in, open the transfer window, add your video files or folder, and click the link transfer option before hitting Transfer. Once the upload finishes, WeTransfer generates a unique URL you can copy and paste anywhere, whether that is a Slack thread, a client email, a production brief, or a social post. Anyone with the link can click straight through to download, no account needed on their end.


No. WeTransfer does not re-encode, compress, or alter your video in any way, so a 4K clip, a ProRes master, or a high-bitrate MOV arrives identical to the file you uploaded. The recipient gets exactly what you exported from your editing software, at the same resolution and bitrate you intended.


Yes, recipients can preview MP4 and MOV files up to 300 MB directly in their browser without downloading anything first. If you have sent a package of multiple cuts or versions, they can watch each one in the preview and choose to download only the file they actually need. Previews display at a slightly reduced resolution, but the downloaded file is always the full original.


Yes, WeTransfer supports folder uploads and preserves your original folder structure when recipients download. This is useful when you are delivering a project with organized subfolders, such as raw footage, proxies, and exports, because everything arrives on the other end exactly as you packaged it.


You have two options before sharing the link. You can lock the transfer with a password, which you share separately with intended recipients, so anyone who stumbles on the URL cannot access the files without it. Alternatively, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only those people can verify and download, which works well for client deliverables or unreleased footage you do not want circulating beyond a defined group.
