Email your 3D files without the headache

3D and CAD files are among the heaviest to share, and email attachments were never built for them. WeTransfer lets you enter your recipients' addresses, upload your files at full quality, and deliver a personal download notification to every inbox, all without touching a mail server's size ceiling.

Deliver files to any inbox

When you're sharing 3D models, CAD assemblies, or scene files, the last thing you need is a delivery problem caused by file size. WeTransfer hosts your files and routes a clean download notification to each address you add, so recipients get straight to their files with a single click. Every file arrives exactly as you uploaded it, with no compression, no re-encoding, and no changes to geometry, textures, or nested folder structure. You can add a title and a message to the transfer so recipients know what they're receiving before they open it, and a password option keeps sensitive project files locked to the people you intend. Recipients do not need a WeTransfer account to download anything.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


WeTransfer accepts any file type, so formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, STEP, IGES, GLTF, Blender files, Maya scenes, Cinema 4D projects, ZBrush tools, and ZIP archives of full project folders all transfer without issue. Files are delivered exactly as uploaded, with no conversion, no compression, and no changes to the data inside.


No. WeTransfer uses lossless zipping purely to bundle multiple files for download convenience, but the files themselves are never re-encoded, resampled, or modified in any way. Your recipient downloads the same bytes you uploaded, which matters when mesh data, texture maps, or CAD tolerances need to stay intact.


Yes. WeTransfer supports folder uploads, and the original folder structure is preserved when your recipient downloads the files. For large 3D projects where textures, references, and scene files are organized across multiple subdirectories, everything arrives in the same arrangement you uploaded.


You have a couple of options. Adding a password means only recipients who know it can access the files, and you share that password separately outside WeTransfer. You can also enable restricted access, which locks the download to a specific list of email addresses so nobody outside your intended audience can get through, even if the link gets forwarded.


With a free account you can add up to 10 email addresses to a single transfer, and each person receives their own download notification. Paid plans raise that to 50 recipients per transfer. If you need to share with a larger audience, a link transfer lets you generate one URL you can distribute to as many people as you like, with no recipient cap.
