We’re ushering in the new year with a good, ol’ fashioned remix.

No, we’re not talking about a nostalgic yet upbeat rewind of our favorite 2000s boy band tracks (this time).

Instead, we’re remixing WeTransfer’s subscription plans. 😎

We’ve combined the best of the old with some fresh ideas: Highlights include WeTransfer’s most affordable plan ever, expanded access to powerful features, and the introduction of monthly limits for the Free plan.

Here’s everything you need to know about what’s changing—and what’s staying the same.

The perfect starting point for occasional users or anyone exploring WeTransfer for the first time.

Premium features, unlocked. These include unlimited portals, reviews, and file requests and password protection for every transfer. Plus, no more fees on paid transfers

Increased file size limit. You can now send files up to 3GB in size (increased from 2GB).

Monthly transfers cap. Going forward, free users can complete up to 10 transfers and share up to 3GB-worth of files every month.

What’s the same? As always, our Free plan is 100% free.

A brand-new plan for those who need to send big files a few times a week, without breaking the bank—at just $6.99 per month, it’s our most affordable plan ever.

What’s new?  The whole plan! WeTransfer Starter is a brand new option for those who want more power than the Free plan, but don’t really need a fully unlimited experience. In addition to 10 monthly transfers and the many advanced features included in the Free plan, Starter includes a higher monthly upload limit (300GB vs 3GB in the Free plan).

The ultimate choice for power users who send big files all day, every day.

What’s new? Mostly just the name. 🙃 To streamline our offering, we merged our former top tier plans (Pro and Premium) into a single unlimited option: WeTransfer Ultimate.

What’s the same? Everything else. Ultimate has all the perks and unlimited freedom that came with the former Premium plan.

These new plans are available starting mid-December 2024 for all existing and new customers. To find the plan that works best for you, check out our Pricing page for a detailed breakdown. If you have questions, visit our Help Center for quick answers.

What’s next? More speed, reliability, and collaboration 

At WeTransfer, we’re committed to building the most dependable and intuitive file sharing platform. We’re currently working on several ambitious projects to boost reliability, make the product even easier to use, unlock new collaboration opportunities, and bridge the gap between the Web and Mobile experience. 

We can’t wait to share the journey with you every step of the way—stay tuned for more updates!

Losing an important file when you need it is a pain many users know too well. It's practically a rite of passage. Thankfully, at WeTransfer, we have introduced a new feature exclusively on the WeTransfer mobile app to tackle this head-on.

Your saved transfers are neatly organized in a section within the WeTransfer app so you can find them when you need them. Plus, you gain full control over how long you can access your files, cutting out the need for awkward follow-ups. And the best part?

Get Partner Perks with WeTransfer: Unlocking Creativity Together

NEW YORK, NY, April 30 2024 – WeTransfer, the easiest platform for sharing ideas and collaborating with teams, today announces the ability to sell files directly on the platform to help creative professionals to securely share and earn money from their digital content. Integrating payments marks a significant strategic expansion in WeTransfer’s evolution into the most seamless one-stop shop for creatives.

In a booming freelance and creator economy, getting paid is an industry-wide problem – 87% of content creators have reported late or missed payments, with 29% of freelance invoices consistently paid late. Selling files on WeTransfer is available today to all WeTransfer users worldwide, enabling  creatives to earn money immediately, saving many countless hours of time typically spent following up invoices for payment. 

CEO Alexandar Vassilev said: “At WeTransfer, we believe that earning money for your work should be as effortless and simple as sharing a file. Millions of creatives already use our platform daily to interact with clients, fans and share important work, but too often get tripped up by chasing final payments long after the work has been completed. 

“Bringing payments into our product ecosystem is a major new chapter in our mission to boost the convenience and earning potential of our creative user base, while removing common barriers through secure and beautifully simple technology.”

Through the launch into commerce, powered by long-term collaboration with Stripe, anyone can deliver work and earn from their creativity – photographers, designers, illustrators, musicians and other aspiring creators – without the need to leave  their workflow, or bear the additional cost of a website or storefront. Additionally, WeTransfer will waive added platform fees in a bid to make getting paid simple and accessible. 

The integration will be available globally, through a Stripe Business integration, with the following capabilities:

Global translations for all WeTransfer-supported languages outside of English [Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish]

Zero added fees – Beyond standard payment processing fees from Stripe and the chosen subscription plan, there will be no further platform costs for subscribers. Free account holders not on paid plans will be able to access integrated payments without added platform charges for a limited time. 

Support 100+ currencies based on user’s preferences at onboarding with/ Stripe

WeTransfer previously unveiled collaboration tools Portals and Reviews, the fastest way for creatives to share their work with teams, get clear feedback and deliver polished products for their clients.

WeTransfer unveils payments to help creatives earn money

We’ve always prided ourselves on a strong relationship with the global creative community—and it’s deeply gratifying to be the file-sharing platform of choice for so many of you who earn a living from your creative talent. That connection keeps us up to date with inspiring stories, but it also means we get to hear about the frustrations that you experience on a daily basis. Earning money is top of the pile: pricing projects, changing day rates, sending over invoices, watching the due date come and go. Emotions can run high, as this new article lays bare. 

But most difficult of all is chasing late or missed payments long after the work has been completed—shockingly, something that 87% of content creators experience. Unwilling to accept this as standard industry practice, we challenged ourselves to make earning money for your work as effortless and simple as sharing a file. 

We know that WeTransfer is already intrinsic to the way you interact with clients, customers, and fans every single day. We set out to enhance that experience by designing the most seamless way of adding a price tag to the final project or a piece of content—in order to give back time and energy that could be spent on your talent and building a successful business. 

Today, after almost a year of focus groups, testing, and feedback from hundreds of people in our early access program, we’re officially unveiling payments as part of the WeTransfer experience for everyone, globally. With that, we aim to help anyone in a creative career or a side hustle to make money without the hassle of leaving your workflow or bearing the costs of endless subscriptions. 

Those on a paid plan can access it with absolutely no added costs from WeTransfer, beyond standard payment processing fees from Stripe. What’s more, we’re making it available to all our free account holders without additional platform charges for a limited time only—if that’s you, and you’d like to give it a go, just click here.

Connect to payment integration —connect to Stripe Business, our first partner for payment integrations, from your Account > Workspace > Integrations

Upload your files —upload your work to WeTransfer as usual

Choose your price —request payment for file transfers, with over 100+ currencies supported, based on the preferences you set during your onboarding with Stripe

Share the link directly —copy the transfer link and share it with clients via email, WhatsApp, or Slack. Post the link to your social media, Linktree, or website to reach wider audiences 

Clients pay to download —before anyone can download your files, they’ll need to pay, so you’re guaranteed to get paid before delivery

Now I use WeTransfer to not only share files, but also to streamline the payment process. It gives me so much peace of mind to know I’ll be paid on time, every time!
-- Chris, Freelance PR Consultant and Children’s Author

We hope that you enjoy using payments as much as our teams enjoyed building it.  Whether you’re a freelancer, photographer, videographer, designer, or an aspiring content creator relying on a professional brand and timely payments to sustain yourself, we know it can be tough out there. For many photographers, last year brought their hardest financial challenges yet, as explored recently in the first of our in-depth industry guides to help creatives at this time of anxiety. 

It doesn’t matter if you work with clients on major projects, or have carved out a profitable niche producing eBooks, tutorials, or bespoke how-to guides—your time is valuable and shouldn’t be spent asking payments for work you’ve already completed. It’s as simple as that. 

But we’re not just about big announcements. We also believe in making incremental changes that benefit you, little and often. Keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks, as we’re rolling out more ways to show up and promote your brand directly on your custom WeTransfer page. Soon you’ll be able to add social links and unite all of your important channels in one place. 

This is an exciting chapter for us, and we’d love to hear your feedback as you put these new updates to good use. Look out for more news as we continue expanding our platform to build a one-stop destination for your creative endeavors, and help millions of people globally to make a lasting impact through creativity.

Former Twitter & Google executive to head up WeTransfer Advertising as VP of Global Sales

To oversee all aspects of global advertising operations and strategy; lead on investment in new formats, partnerships and innovation including opportunities in responsible advertising and purposeful AI

Alongside Nasr, Natalie Fisher-Brown (Firth) joins the advertising team from Criteo as Head of UK

London, 17 January 2024 – WeTransfer, the most creative platform for sharing ideas, announces the appointment of Dara Nasr to lead advertising strategy across established hubs in Europe and North America, as well as emerging markets.

Nasr spent a decade at Twitter, with 5 years as its UK managing director, responsible for the global revenue for many of the world’s biggest advertisers. He helped to build the biggest team outside of the US that spanned multiple disciplines, up until leaving in 2022. Prior to Twitter, he led commercial teams at Google across YouTube and Display Advertising teams and TV media market strategies at Eurosport and Flextech TV. 

At WeTransfer, Nasr will oversee all aspects of global ad operations and strategy across established hubs in New York, London, Paris and Amsterdam and seek out opportunities in emerging markets that have highly engaged audiences spanning millions of creative professionals and content creators. He will lead on deepening relationships with brands and media buyers looking for full-screen ad space that generates business results, as well as increased investment in new formats, partnerships and innovation – from responsible advertising to AI.

Alex Vassilev, CEO of WeTransfer said: “Responsible advertising has played an important part of WeTransfer’s growth and success since inception, with our high quality, user-centric format driving huge appeal and impact for hundreds of brands. We’ve worked hard to earn that trust but are only just tapping into the true scale of what we could achieve in this space. Dara is a fantastic fit to lead us to the next phase of growth, bringing a diverse set of skills, an unrivaled track record unlocking major collaborations in the industry and a proven ability to build long-term value.” 

In 2023, WeTransfer Advertising saw more than 300 advertisers on its platform and delivered more than 1,000 individual campaigns. The company opened an office in Paris, tested new shoppable and AI-driven ad formats that enhance its existing creatives (Toyota Motor Europe, Zalando, Adobe Photoshop), introduced carbon emissions reporting for every campaign, and dug even deeper into the connection between human attention and media effectiveness with industry partners. In another key hire, Natalie Fisher-Brown (Firth) joins from global commerce media company Criteo as Head of UK of WeTransfer Advertising. 

Dara Nasr added: “WeTransfer has always stood out to me for being uniquely positioned as a content platform and advertising player with its distinct digital billboard and global creative audience. What’s more, the values of the company shone so brightly for me.

"The company has built a highly trusted industry proposition, which operates at the heart of the world’s biggest digital trends and has all the right ingredients to define the future of advertising. The opportunity is immense and I’m excited to be at the forefront of building on these foundations with the talented team and bring compelling partnerships for major brands around the world.”

WeTransfer, the most creative platform for sharing ideas, makes it easy for creative professionals and creators to share and distribute content, and collaborate with teams. With an average of 80 million monthly active users in 190 countries, WeTransfer is a certified B Corporation™ and a long-time champion of using business as a force for good. Since its founding in 2009, the company has donated up to 30% of its advertising real estate to raise awareness for artists, creative work, and the world’s most pressing issues. In 2021, it launched the Supporting Act Foundation to support emerging artists through bursaries and grants. 

WeTransfer, the most creative platform for sharing ideas, announces the appointment of Dara Nasr to lead advertising strategy across established hubs in Europe and North America, as well as emerging markets.

WeTransfer names Dara Nasr to scale and lead global advertising business

Today, we announced that we are reducing the size of our team by roughly 10% as part of an organisational restructure within WeTransfer.

It is a hard moment for us at WeTransfer, and we didn’t take this decision lightly. Our talented employees are and always will be at the heart of what we do. It is an unfortunate but necessary step in our growth journey. 

Despite the current macroeconomic backdrop, we continue to grow profitably. The changes announced today are being made to unlock even greater efficiency and deeper alignment to accelerate towards our vision of connecting the world with creativity. 

Evolving how we run the business is not new for us – as a scale-up, we’ve adapted before as our business has grown and as we’ve seized opportunities to bring more value to our users. Our ability to reimagine established playbooks has been  part of our historic success. This has enabled us to build an audience of around 80 million monthly active users and well above half a million subscribers, a platform relied upon by hundreds of global brands as an impactful advertising billboard, and a company culture with people and creativity at its core. 

As we navigate these changes, we are committed to continue to serve best-in-class creative ads, nurture our trusted brand and keep building intuitive products.

Creativity is the cornerstone of WeTransfer and it remains our compass, before and after these changes. Our commitment to creativity has helped cement our platform in the world and made WeTransfer the recognised and beloved brand it is today. My personal goal is for us to stay true to that while continuing to build great technology. Meanwhile, we remain a proud B-Corp, and our commitment to donate 1% of annual revenue to The Supporting Act Foundation in support of emerging artists is unchanged.

For those impacted today, we have set out to help in a way that is true to who we are: with a people-first and responsible approach. 

We know so many employees have side projects and talents alongside their work at WeTransfer and have carefully thought about ways to support to make these sad endings offer new beginnings for those who wish to pursue their passions or find their next career opportunity. This includes: 

Enhanced Severance: above-market severance 

Business Kickstarter Grant: All impacted employees are eligible to apply for a Business Kickstrater grant of up to 5,000 EUR/GBP/USD to help those who want to start or grow their own businesses

Benefits: benefits remain in place throughout extended transition

Options: Options continue vesting throughout extended transition. Vested Options not affected

Career Support: Interview support and training available from our HR team

Extras: Any unused 2023 perk allowances added to severance packages; learning allowance of 2,500 EUR/GBP/USD; senior leadership mentorship sessions available

While the changes today are difficult, I have never thought more highly of the future opportunity for WeTransfer in the creative tech space. We have all the right ingredients to continue being an indispensable partner to ambitious creatives in their quest to make a sustainable living out of their talents: from an impeccable brand to millions of users to a powerful vision and sustainable business model. 

We are building new products that help creatives earn a living, as well as investing in our own platforms like WePresent, the Supporting Act Foundation, and the 30% of our advertising wallpapers we donate to the creative community. We’re excited to move into our new Amsterdam HQ in January 2024 and will be looking for opportunities to bring employees together for shared moments and company growth milestones. 

This is a testing period for everyone and we will focus on helping the brilliant people who will be leaving WeTransfer. Beyond that, I have no doubt that together we are putting WeTransfer on the right foot to reach new heights.

Today, our CEO shared changes to WeTransfer business and outlined the implications for employees. Below is an overview of these changes.

WeTransfer: What we've been up to in '22

LONDON, UK - September 17, 2022 - WeTransfer, a leading provider of creative productivity tools, today announces the launch of ‘Snap Who’ an online game on wetransfer.com alongside this year’s London Design Festival. The game invites WeTransfer’s 87 million monthly active users to learn about their unconscious bias in a fun, interactive way for free and is available in perpetuity.   

‘Snap Who’ was developed by WeTransfer’s in-house creative studio team of designers. It’s part of Studio Lab, an internal, non-commercial research and development initiative launched in 2019 with the goal for the team to experiment, innovate and learn outside their day-to-day work. For this year’s initiative, the brief was to create an online experience that could help educate WeTransfer’s users about their own biases, while providing an opportunity to learn about how bias impacts creativity. 

WeTransfer enlisted the expertise of Professor Karen McCormack, a sociology professor at Wheaton College, USA to bring this to life in collaboration with WeTransfer as a game that users could play on the platform. The decision to work with a consultant sociologist was rooted in how sociology can increase our receptiveness to new ideas and change, by understanding how our social environment or personal ideas about the world can shape our thoughts and interactions. 

To make the experience more compelling, WeTransfer commissioned LA-based illustrator Bijou Karman to supply the illustrations within the experience, which is populated with psychedelic and fluid designs reminiscent of acid-tinged kaleidoscopic lava lamps. These serve as visual metaphors for our ability to form and feel new thoughts. Users are given five seconds to select one of Karman’s character illustrations in response to prompts such as ‘Most likely to use TikTok’ or ‘Most likely to listen to classical music’. At the end of the game, the player is shown whether they made the right choice and are given tips by Professor McCormack based on the latest sociological research, with the goal to educate us about why assumptions we make about the people around us matter when making decisions. 

Diana Alcausin, Associate Creative Director, WeTransfer, “As a certified B Corp, it’s really important to us that we find ways to integrate these values in every corner of our business. This is why we created Snap Who - we want the ads we make for clients to sit alongside content that is innovative and engaging while being socially responsible. Being aware of our biases is actually a unique opportunity to expand our creativity -- when you start to see the world around you from different perspectives it can lead to new and exciting ideas, which we hope will positively impact the work we do for our advertising clients.”

Since the company's inception, WeTransfer has donated 30% of its advertising inventory to artists and social causes to promote ideas that can be a force for good. WeTransfer became a certified B Corporation in 2020 and Climate-Neutral in 2021.

“There’s an atmosphere on From The Basement that I haven’t seen equalled - it’s unlike anything else. There’s a sense of mythology behind it and it’s a dream for us to be involved. We’ve wanted to do this for a very long time”.  IDLES’ Joe Talbot

“What a pleasure it has been doing this again! I’m still just a fan, still super excited to have the opportunity to film all these great artists and have loved making these new shows. After being so busy doing other things I felt that the time was right to rekindle this idea, to somehow bring it into the present, but the same rules apply now as they did then, no audience or presenter, just a direct connection with the viewer and a chance for us to take some time to do something special in a controlled environment. The priority being to make it sound and look great." says Nigel Godrich

Each episode release will be accompanied by an additional song performance per artist released exclusively to WeTransfer Premium and Pro subscribers with supporting editorial on WePresent, their digital arts platform.

Audio versions of the performances will be launching exclusively on a new From The Basement station on Sonos Radio, Sonos’ own music service and music discovery platform, along with episodes from the archive.

“Ever since From The Basement first came onto the scene we have wanted to be involved in what I think is possibly the greatest digital music experience ever made. We have chased the team from LA to London to bring it back. We could not be happier to be involved in the resurgence of From The Basement, a massive thank you to Gilles Peterson for helping to make it happen.” says Damian Bradfield, Co-Founder of WeTransfer.

"Building on our long running partnership with Nigel we are excited to support this new season of From the Basement. We created Sonos Radio with the goal to provide artists’ unique platforms and celebrate thoughtful curation, and the station we’ve built with all the previously released tracks from seasons' past and the upcoming releases couldn’t better represent what we strive for.” says Joe Dawson, Head of Sonos Radio.

New episodes have been produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Beck) with partners James Chads and John Woollcombe.
