Share raw footage with news clients, fast
News and media move on tight deadlines, and your clients need footage the moment the edit is done. WeTransfer gets your video files to the right people at full original quality, with confirmation when they arrive and controls to keep sensitive material secure.
Send files to clients, stress-free
Journalists and editors working on breaking stories can't afford delivery friction — WeTransfer puts footage directly in a client's hands from the browser, no software installation required on either end. Every file travels without re-encoding or resolution loss, so broadcast-ready video, raw rushes, and 4K clips reach the client exactly as you output them. Clients can watch video files in the browser before downloading, letting them scrub through the footage, confirm it's the right take, and pull down only what they need. Enable download tracking when you send and you'll know the moment a client accesses the transfer, which means you can move straight into the feedback conversation rather than chasing delivery confirmations. Password protection and restricted access to named email addresses give news organizations a practical way to control who can open embargoed or exclusives footage before it's cleared for wider use.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
WeTransfer works entirely from the browser, so there's nothing for the recipient to install. You upload your footage files — MP4s, MOVs, or any other format your camera or editing software outputs — and share the download link or send it directly to a recipient's inbox. Clients can preview or download without creating a WeTransfer account, which removes any friction for busy news desks receiving material on deadline.
On a free account, transfers are capped at 3 GB per transfer. If you're regularly moving raw rushes, multi-camera files, or 4K broadcast exports, an Ultimate plan removes the per-transfer size cap entirely and lets you send files of any size. Either way, WeTransfer never re-encodes or compresses your video, so the client receives footage at the same resolution and bitrate you uploaded.
Yes. When setting up a transfer, you can enable restricted access and specify the exact email addresses allowed to download. Anyone else who opens the link is blocked from accessing the files. For an additional layer of security, you can also add a password that you share with the client separately, so even a forwarded link won't give unauthorized viewers access to unreleased footage.
Clients can preview MP4 and MOV files up to 300 MB directly in the browser without downloading anything. This is useful when you've sent multiple cuts or camera angles, because the client can quickly check each file and choose to download only what they need rather than pulling down the entire transfer. No account is needed on the recipient's side to use the preview.
When you enable download tracking before sending, WeTransfer sends you a notification as soon as a recipient downloads the transfer. For email transfers, you can also see a per-recipient checkmark in your Transfers panel, along with the exact date and time of the download. This is particularly useful in news environments where confirming receipt before a broadcast window closes is part of the workflow.
