WeTransfer Free hit its limit? What to use instead

Ten transfers or 3 GB a month goes fast after one wedding or one trip. Here’s what the limit means and what else works.

In short
  • WeTransfer Free: 10 transfers or 3 GB in any 30 days.
  • One phone’s photos from a weekend can be more than that.
  • A Room takes the whole event, from everyone, with one link.
STEP 1

Know what the free limit counts

According to WeTransfer’s help center (October 2026), the Free plan allows 10 transfers or 3 GB in a rolling 30 days, whichever comes first. A few minutes of 4K video is already a gigabyte or more.

STEP 2

Stop sending one transfer per person

Ten friends each sending you their photos is ten transfers, and you still end up with ten separate downloads. One shared place where everyone adds their own photos is less work for you and for them.

STEP 3

Make one Room for the whole event

Create a Room, send the link or the QR code, and guests add photos and videos from any phone without an account. Nothing is compressed, and Download all gives you everything at once.
