Send video footage straight to any inbox

Email attachments and video have never gotten along. WeTransfer lets you add your recipients' addresses, upload your footage, and send each person a notification email with their own download link. No file size caps, no format mangling, no asking anyone to log in.

Deliver files to any inbox

Video files are too large for email attachments, and cloud drive links often ask recipients to sign in or request access before they can do anything useful. WeTransfer hosts your footage and delivers a personal download notification directly to each inbox you specify, so your clips reach the right people without friction. Every video downloads exactly as you shot it, preserving the original resolution and encoding, whether you're sharing raw 4K rushes, a graded edit, or a client cut. Recipients can preview footage directly in the browser before downloading, which means a producer can check a specific clip without pulling down an entire project folder. If you need an extra layer of control, a password keeps the transfer locked and you can restrict access to a named list of email addresses so only the intended recipients can get through.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


No. WeTransfer sends your files exactly as they are, with no re-encoding, no compression, and no resolution loss. Raw 4K footage, ProRes files, and graded exports all arrive on the other end in the same state you uploaded them.


WeTransfer supports any video format you can throw at it, including MP4, MOV, and everything in between. There are no format restrictions, so whether you're sending an H.264 web export or a high-bitrate camera original, you can upload and send it without converting first.


Yes. Recipients can preview MP4 and MOV files directly in the browser, no download required. This is useful when a client or editor needs to check a specific clip before committing to downloading an entire transfer, and they can leave comments on individual files too.


On a free account you can add up to 10 email addresses to a single transfer. Paid plans raise that to 50 recipients per transfer, each of whom gets their own download notification email.


On a free account, transfers are available for up to 3 days. On an Ultimate plan or above, you can set a custom expiry or keep transfers available indefinitely, which is useful for ongoing projects or when recipients are working across different time zones and schedules.
