Send Large Photo Files
Send Large Photo Files Without Compression
Send RAW, TIFF and full-resolution JPEGs in original quality. Up to 200 GB per transfer, no quality loss, no monthly subscription.
Photo files have outgrown most file sharing tools
Modern photography produces files that are much larger than people who don't work with them assume. A single uncompressed RAW from a 45 megapixel camera is around 60 MB. A wedding day produces 1,500 to 3,000 frames, easily 100 GB in RAW. A commercial campaign with multiple looks, models and setups pushes that further still. Layered PSDs for retouched work routinely run to several gigabytes per file.
Most file sharing tools weren't designed with photographers in mind. Email caps at 25 MB. WeTransfer's free tier maxes out at 3 GB, which fits a JPEG gallery but not the deliverable a client typically wants. Cloud storage services often generate web-optimised JPEG copies of uploaded photos for streaming previews, which isn't a problem for casual sharing but becomes one when the client is downloading the "originals" and getting compressed versions.
TransferRocket sends photos exactly as they were captured
TransferRocket transfers files bit-for-bit identical to the original. RAW formats from every major camera brand (CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF and the rest), TIFFs, PSDs, multi-layered exports, JPEGs at any quality setting: everything arrives exactly as you sent it. EXIF data, colour profiles, embedded thumbnails and file metadata are preserved without modification.
Transfers up to 200 GB cover full wedding shoots, multi-day commercial work and large editorial packages in a single delivery. Pay-per-use pricing means you pay when you actually deliver, not every month. Free transfers up to 5 GB cover most individual deliverables.
Clients receive a simple download link with no account required. The built-in image preview lets them confirm the right delivery before downloading. Password protection is free on every transfer for commercial work under embargo or NDA. Storage region selection lets you serve international clients from the closest region for faster downloads.

Delivering a wedding shoot to the couple
You've finished editing a wedding shoot. The couple is getting 800 final JPEGs and you've agreed to include the unedited RAW selects too. Total delivery: around 80 GB.
You drag the folder into TransferRocket, set a 30-day storage duration so the couple has time to download and share with family, enable password protection (you'll share the password separately), enter their email address and start the upload. TransferRocket runs in the background while you start culling the next shoot.
The couple receives a secure download link. They preview a few JPEGs in the browser to confirm it's the right delivery, enter the password and download the full set over the next few days. You see when they access the transfer, helpful for following up on print orders or extras. The files delete automatically after 30 days.
No subscription bill during the wedding off-season. You pay for each delivery individually.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the maximum photo size I can send?
- Free transfers support up to 5 GB. Paid transfers support up to 200 GB per transfer, which covers a full wedding shoot in RAW or a multi-day commercial campaign without splitting deliveries.
- Will my photos be compressed?
- No. TransferRocket transfers files bit-for-bit identical to the original. RAW formats (CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF), TIFFs, PSDs, JPEGs at any quality setting and every other photo format arrive exactly as you sent them. EXIF data, colour profiles and embedded thumbnails are preserved.
- Can my recipient preview photos before downloading?
- Yes. The built-in image preview supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG and BMP. RAW files don't preview natively in browsers, but recipients can confirm the file list before downloading.
- How long can the photos be stored?
- Choose your storage duration when you create the transfer, anywhere from a single day to extended durations for ongoing project access. After the chosen duration, files are permanently deleted.
- How is this different from sending photos via cloud storage?
- Cloud storage services like Google Drive often compress photos for streaming or generate web-optimised versions, which destroys quality. TransferRocket transfers files identical to the original. Cloud storage also requires the recipient to navigate a shared folder structure. TransferRocket generates a simple download link that doesn't require an account from the recipient.
- Is there a subscription required?
- No. Free up to 5 GB. For larger transfers, pay a one-time fee per delivery. No monthly subscription, no annual commitment.
