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.

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.

Both together: keep WeTransfer for long videos, and put the photos in the album for the evening you watch them.

All the group’s photos, in original quality.

One album, one QR code per person, a single ZIP at the end.

Frequently asked questions

Does WeTransfer compress photos?

No: files are sent as they are. Kliche also keeps JPEG, PNG and WebP in original quality; iPhone HEIC files are converted to high-quality JPEG.

What are the limits of free WeTransfer?

According to WeTransfer, 3 GB per transfer, 10 transfers per rolling 30 days, and links active for 3 days at most.

Why an album rather than WeTransfer links?

With WeTransfer, everyone sends their link and you have to download them all. In Kliche, all the photos land in the same album, are watched together and are downloaded as a single ZIP.
