Send ZIP files to clients the right way

Delivering a ZIP archive to a client should feel professional, not like a workaround. WeTransfer lets you send large ZIPs via a simple link or straight to their inbox, with tracking, access controls, and optional branding that make the handoff look as good as the work inside.

Send files to clients, stress-free

ZIP archives are a natural way to bundle up a project delivery, but getting them to a client cleanly is where things can fall apart. WeTransfer handles files of any size without compression, so your client receives the exact archive you packed, nothing altered. Enable download tracking before you send and you'll get a notification the moment they access it, no more wondering if your delivery landed. If the contents are sensitive, you can lock the transfer with a password or restrict access to specific email addresses, so only the right person can open it. On the Ultimate plan, you can add a custom background and description to the transfer itself, giving even a routine ZIP handoff a polished, intentional feel that reflects well on your work.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Recipients never need to sign up or log in to download a transfer. They just open the link and download the ZIP directly. The only requirement is on the sender's side — you need a free WeTransfer account to send files.


On a free account, you can send ZIPs up to 3 GB. On the Ultimate plan and above, there's no transfer size limit, so you can send ZIP archives of any size without splitting them up or finding workarounds.


You have two options. You can add a password to the transfer so only someone with that password can download the ZIP. You can also restrict access to specific email addresses, meaning the link only works for the people you name. Both options are available on all plans.


Before sending, you can enable download tracking on the transfer. Once it's on, you'll see exactly who downloaded the file and when. It's a simple way to confirm receipt without having to chase your client for a response.


On a free account, transfers expire after a maximum of 3 days and cannot be recovered. On the Ultimate plan, you can set transfers to never expire, so your client can always come back to download the ZIP whenever they need it. Ultimate also lets you recover expired transfers retroactively, even ones that expired before you upgraded.
