Kliche or WeTransfer for sharing holiday photos?
To keep original quality, many groups send each other their holiday photos with WeTransfer. It works, but everyone sends their own link, and nobody has everything in one place. Here is what a Kliche album changes.
WeTransfer information checked on on its free plan page.
| Criterion | Kliche | WeTransfer free |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | JPEG, PNG and WebP in original quality, no recompression; HEIC converted to high-quality JPEG | Files sent as they are, no compression |
| Who sends | The whole group, into the same album, each with their QR code | Each person makes their own transfer and shares their link |
| Limits | 700 photos and 3 GB per album, 10 people (beta) | 3 GB per transfer, 10 transfers per rolling 30 days |
| Finding photos | All in the album, filtered by Place, Day, Person, Outing, Moment | One link per person, downloaded one by one |
| Watching together | Same photo at the same time for everyone, cursors, laser, drawing, built-in call | No: you download, then everyone looks on their own |
| Getting the photos | One ZIP file of the album in original quality | One ZIP per transfer |
| Lifetime | Erased 3 days after it was created | Link active for 3 days at most |
Stick with WeTransfer if…
you are sending videos, files you want to keep exactly as they are (HEIC included), or photos to one person outside the group. It is simple, with no account for the person receiving.
Open a Kliche album if…
the whole group has photos to share: they all land in the same place, in original quality, and you can watch them together, each from home, before downloading the ones you want as a single ZIP.
All the group’s photos, in original quality.
One album, one QR code per person, a single ZIP at the end.
