Quick summary: You can send a 4K video with WeTransfer by uploading your video at wetransfer.com and sharing it via an email or transfer link — no compression, no quality loss.
Why Use WeTransfer for Sending 4K Videos?
4K video files are large. Email attachments usually can't handle files this large, and many cloud services compress your video or make sharing complicated.
WeTransfer is designed specifically for large file transfers. When you send 4K video with WeTransfer, your files are uploaded without compression, so your recipient gets the exact quality you intended. Plus, all transfers are encrypted for secure sharing.
Step-by-Step: How to Send Your 4K Video
Here's how to share videos online using WeTransfer:
1. Go to WeTransfer.com
Open your browser and visit wetransfer.com.
2. Choose Your Sharing Method
You'll see two options:
- Email: Send the video directly via email to your recipients
- Link: Get a shareable transfer link you can share anywhere
3. Add Your 4K Video
Click Add your files and select your video from your computer. WeTransfer supports all major video formats including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and ProRes files.
You can add multiple videos or mix videos with other files in a single transfer.
4. Add a Message (Optional)
Include a quick note to your recipient explaining what you're sending. This is especially helpful for professional video projects or client deliverables.
5. Upload and Share
Click Transfer to start uploading. Upload times vary based on your internet connection and file size, but most 4K videos under 10GB upload within minutes on standard broadband.
Once the upload completes, WeTransfer automatically sends the email or generates your transfer link.
WeTransfer Ultimate is perfect for long-form videos, raw footage, or entire project folders. Ultimate transfers stay available for up to a year. If you regularly send big files or work with 4K videos professionally, using Ultimate gives you more flexibility and longer expiry times.
Tips for Sending a 4K Video Successfully
Use a stable connection. Large video uploads can take time. Make sure that you use a strong enough WiFi or wired connection to avoid interruptions.
Add password protection. You can add a password to transfers for extra security. This is useful when sending confidential video content or client projects.
Name your files clearly. Before uploading, rename your video file to something descriptive like "ClientName_ProjectTitle_4K_Final.mp4" so recipients know exactly what they're downloading.
Security and Privacy for Video Transfers
All files you upload to WeTransfer are encrypted. Your content is always your content - we don’t use machine learning or any form of AI to process content shared via WeTransfer.
For sensitive projects, use password protection to add an extra layer of security to your transfer link.
