A Free WeTransfer Alternative for Large Files

WeTransfer is a well-known way to send files, and it works for many people. Its free plan does have limits, though, including a cap on transfer size and a monthly cap, and some features sit behind a paid plan or an account. Plans change over time, so check WeTransfer's own pages for current details.

If you simply want to send a large file today with no sign-up, Share Large Video Files is a straightforward option.

• Up to 20 GB per transfer, with up to 1000 files or a folder.
• No account needed to send or receive.
• Link or email: copy a link, show a QR code, use your phone's share sheet, or have us email recipients (you verify your email with a 6-digit code).
• Optional password and delete after first download.
• Automatic expiry after 1 day, after which files are deleted from our servers.
• Transfers page to copy links, extend expiry, delete early, resend emails and see download counts.
• Original quality: no compression or re-encoding of any file type.

We have kept this table to our own features. For any other service, compare against its current published plans.

1. Open the homepage in any modern browser.
2. Drop in your files or a folder.
3. Pick Link or Email, and optionally add a password.
4. Keep the tab open while it uploads, then share the link.

Upload time depends on your connection and file size. Uploads are sent in chunks, and brief connection drops are retried automatically while the tab stays open.

We focus on simple, free, one-off transfers. If you need permanent cloud storage, team folders, in-browser video review or resumable uploads after closing your browser, a cloud storage or review platform may be a better fit. For sending a big file to someone quickly, a link is usually all you need.

If you have used a file transfer service before, everything here will feel familiar. There is no account to migrate and nothing to install, so you can try it with your next transfer and see whether it suits you.

• For creatives: deliver video, audio and design files in original quality. Files such as ProRes, WAV, PSD and camera RAW are passed through untouched, which matters when the recipient will keep editing.
• For everyday use: send holiday videos, scanned documents or a folder of photos to friends and family who may not want to sign up for yet another service.
• For work: share a link in Slack, Teams or a project tool, protect it with a password, and check the download count to confirm delivery.

Recipients see a simple download page in their browser, on a computer or a phone. There is nothing for them to install and no account to create, which keeps the experience easy for clients and relatives alike. If they need a little more time, you can extend the expiry from the Transfers page instead of uploading everything again, and if plans change you can delete the transfer early with one click.

Sending from a phone? Our step-by-step guides for iPhone and Android show how to pick the original video file so it is not compressed before upload.
