How to Send Files via WeTransfer

WeTransfer is a convenient tool for sending large files over the Internet. It’s free, doesn’t require an account, and provides confirmation emails once your files have been downloaded. Here at NBT, we often use WeTransfer to receive photos, documents, and other files from our clients.

Best Practices for Sending Files

To facilitate faster project completion, create a better end product, and ensure a smooth experience for the end user, please follow these best practices when sending files:

1. Consistent Images: All images should either be uncropped or all cropped with the same dimensions. While it might be tempting to edit photos for artistic effect or to remove unwanted elements, this can create inconsistency on the website.
2. Descriptive Filenames: Make sure all filenames clearly explain what the images or files are. This makes it easier for us to organize and use your files, helps end users understand what the file is, and improves SEO as search engines use filenames as one of the factors when ranking images.
3. Page Specification: If you’re sending files for a website project, please specify which page each item should be featured on. This helps us place your content correctly and speeds up the build process.
