I know your main goal is to send huge files to your clients without losing quality

If you are a wedding photographer or content creator you know the struggle of trying to share hundreds (if not thousands) of stunning videos and photos without waiting HOURS for your uploads.
We know that half of the hard work comes in post production after a wedding day - the hours of editing, colour grading and choosing the best photos and videos to deliver to your clients.
The last thing you want is to send your carefully edited shots through a platform that compresses them into pixelated, lackluster versions that don't reflect your talent. Your clients deserve a seamless, professional experience where they can preview, download, and appreciate the full quality of your work.

So what’s the best way to send RAW wedding photos without compression? Here are some options after trying them all ourselves so you don’t have to!

What to look for in a content delivery platform

When choosing a file-sharing solution for large RAW videos or high quality wedding photos, you need more than just “storage space” like Google Drive provides. Look for a platform designed for creators that supports your brand and improves your client experience.
Key features you should look out for in a content sharing platform:
High-quality previews so clients can browse images and videos easily.

  • No compression, ensuring RAW photos and videos remain intact.
  • Customization and branding to make the gallery feel like a natural extension of your website.
  • Large file transfer capacity, since RAW photo collections and video footage can easily reach hundreds of GB’s.
  • Ease of use for clients who may not be tech-savvy.

Top 3 platforms for sending RAW wedding photos

Below are the three most common choices for content creators and photographers to consider, with an expert take on their strengths and limitations.

  1. Dropbox

Pros:

  • Secure, private folder sharing.
  • Clients can access files anytime.

Cons:

  • No ability to brand or customize links.
  • Interface feels like basic file storage.
  • Not a luxury client experience.
  • Expensive if you want large storage space.

Expert opinion: Used by many content creators but feels clunky and doesn’t give an elevated guest experience.

  1. WeTransfer

Pros:

  • Easy to use, no account required for clients.
  • Free transfers up to 2GB.

Cons:

  • To send RAW wedding photo collections, you’ll need a paid plan which can be expensive depending on the size of files you’re sharing.
  • No real customization for client-facing links.

Expert opinion: Easy to create a file transfer but offers no previews or a gallery-like viewing page for clients. Not ideal for sharing full wedding galleries.

  1. File Curator (Best option for photographers & content creators)

Pros:

  • Send up to 250GB per transfer with no per-file limits, perfect for RAW photo and video delivery.
  • High-quality previews so clients can browse each photo and video clip before deciding to download.
  • Customizable links with your brand and colours, so your transfer link feels like a luxury experience.
  • Affordable monthly subscription.
  • Built with creatives in mind, not just generic file transfers.

Expert opinion: File Curator is the most professional, cost-effective, and client-centered solution for photographers and content creators that want a streamlined and customisable way to share files with clients.

Why should you choose File Curator?

Other platforms can “get the job done,” but File Curator is designed specifically for creators who care about presentation, branding, and client experience.
As content creators ourselves we saw that our industry lacked a platform that looked good, presented our work in an aesthetic and visual layout and performed as well as the big companies.

  • Giving an elevated client experience instead of a generic download link, your clients will build more trust with you as a brand and see you as a leading expert in your niche.
  • Professionalism throughout your work and delivery, you will be considered as a premium service that feels personal and polished.
  • Capacity that won't run out when you are sharing your files. With 250GB per transfer and no per-file limits, you can confidently deliver both RAW photos and videos without worrying about size restrictions.
  • Affordable subscription that doesn't eat into your profits. Our monthly cost is lower than many “household name” services.

Best practices for delivering RAW wedding photos and videos

  • No matter what platform you use, here are some professional practices to follow:
    Organize your files: Separate edited images, RAW files, and video into clear folders.
  • Provide previews: Always include high-quality previews so clients can quickly browse.
  • Set clear expectations: Let clients know about file sizes, download times, and storage duration.
  • Maintain your branding: Use colors, fonts, and logos where possible to ensure a cohesive experience.

The best way to send RAW wedding photos without compression is to use a platform that values both file quality and client experience. While Dropbox and WeTransfer can work in a pinch, File Curator gives photographers the perfect balance of affordability, functionality, and brand polish.

Your work deserves to be showcased in the best possible light. Don’t let generic file-sharing platforms dilute the impact of your photography.
