Do I need to register to use WeTransfer?

While you don't have to sign up for an account, WeTransfer free, WeTransfer Pro, or WeTransfer Premium you do have to verify ownership of your email address if you'd like to send an email transfer without an account.

If you're a big fan of WeTransfer (hi big fan! we love you!) and you don't want to verify every transfer, you can sign up for a free WeTransfer account - or go ahead and use a link transfer, instead. 

For sending transfers up to 2 GB

You can use WeTransfer without an account to send transfers up to 2 GB to up to 3 email recipients, so long as you've verified your transfer with a code each time. If you would like to send anything larger than that, you would need a WeTransfer Pro subscription which would allow you to send up to 200 GB per transfer. If you're needing to send a transfer larger than 200 GB, you would need a WeTransfer Premium subscription. There is no limit to sending a transfer with this upgrade!

If you would like to send to more than 3 recipients and have more control over your sent files plus an overview of the files sent to you, you can learn more about what a free account has to offer here.

For downloading transfers of any size

No account is needed! Everyone and their Grandmothers can download a transfer once it has been shared with them. Just click the download link and awayyyyyyyyyyy you go!

For using the WeTransfer mobile app

You will need to sign up to a WeTransfer account in order to send and receive using the mobile app. You can sign in using either your WeTransfer free, WeTransfer Pro, or WeTransfer Premium account. If you're not yet signed up, it is possible to sign up for a free account using the app, but it is not yet possible to upgrade to WeTransfer Pro or WeTransfer Premium this way, you will need to use a web browser.

* Please note that this is a version 1.0 release and is currently only available to download on iOS. More features will become available in the future. *

For sending transfers up to 200 GB or more, setting the expiry date and much more!

You'll need a WeTransfer Pro or WeTransfer Premium subscription for that! 

If you'd like to learn more about our WeTransfer Pro or WeTransfer Premium subscription, you can find everything you need to know right here:
