A WeTransfer alternative for photographers and videographers.
WeTransfer moves a file and forgets it 3 days later. FRGMT runs the whole delivery: photos in a gallery with comments on any image, the review round on the frame, the finished video on a page under your name, the masters in a shared folder, files coming back through upload links, and all of it kept in one library.

The problem
A transfer link is built to disappear. A delivery is built to stay.
A transfer covers one moment: a file leaves your computer, and 3 days later it is gone. Everything around it happens elsewhere. Notes come back by email, the stills go out from a gallery tool, the web cut goes to a video host, and the client opens the master after the link has expired.
Every revision is another transfer, counted against 10 transfers per 30 days on Starter, and the free plan's terms limit it to personal use.
FRGMT is the whole delivery in one platform. Review on the frame in React, a Cinema page for client video delivery with the master, a gallery for the stills, a shared folder for the full set of files, upload links for files coming back, and embeds for your site.
It all comes from one upload into one Library, and nothing expires on a timer.
Files come back the same way. An upload link drops a second shooter’s footage or a client’s photos into the right folder with no account, and closes after 24, 48 or 72 hours.
The whole job
WeTransfer sends a file. FRGMT keeps the whole project and every step around it.
A library of folders as deep as the job, shared out with a password and expiry, collected back through upload links, and delivered as a gallery or a video page from the same files.
- Library A library, not a send boxNested folders and tags hold every project; nothing expires on a timer.
- Shared folder Share a folderA password, an expiry if you want one, and the whole folder downloaded as one archive with subfolders intact.
- Upload link Collect files backUpload links drop photos and video from a client or second shooter into the right folder, no account needed, for 24, 48 or 72 hours.
- Gallery Deliver photosA gallery with comments on any image, favorites and full-resolution downloads.
- Cinema Deliver videoA page under your name and the master to download, with review on the frame in a React view first.
Every project stays in the Library. Each folder shows its files, its size and the views made from it, so next year’s request for the masters is one link, not a search through old transfer emails.

Moving over
Start from your own files.
- Gather the masters.
Nothing to export: a transfer keeps nothing past its expiry, so start from your own drives.

Upload directly at up to 100 GB per file, or import from Dropbox, which brings whole folders, or Google Drive, which brings the files you pick, on Starter and above.
- Send the new link.
Send a gallery, a Cinema page or a shared folder instead of a transfer link, and keep the project in your library.
Questions
WeTransfer, answered.
Is there a better alternative to WeTransfer?
For client work a delivery platform beats a transfer link: photos open in a gallery and video plays on a page under your name, the originals stay available to download, clients comment on the exact image or frame, files come back through upload links, and nothing expires after a few days. FRGMT runs all of that in one place.
What is the best photo sharing platform for photographers?
For delivering to clients, the best photo sharing platform is a gallery rather than a transfer: the client sees the photos laid out under your name, can comment on any image, stars favorites and downloads full resolution, and the link stays live for as long as you keep it rather than a few days. FRGMT galleries are on every plan.
How long do WeTransfer links last?
WeTransfer links expire after 3 days on its Free and Starter plans, and custom expiry dates start on Ultimate, so a client who opens the email late finds nothing there to download, while an FRGMT delivery stays live for as long as you keep it in your library. A shared folder can carry an expiry if you want one.
Does WeTransfer work with videos?
Yes, WeTransfer sends video like any other file, up to 3 GB per 30 days on the free plan, but it is a transfer, so the video arrives as a download link that expires after 3 days on Free and Starter, with no page under your name and no client notes on the frame. FRGMT plays video adaptively up to 4K and keeps the original to download.
Can I use WeTransfer free for client work?
WeTransfer's terms limit the free plan to personal use (non-commercial use only), and it allows 3 GB per 30 days and 10 transfers per 30 days, so paid client delivery belongs on a paid plan or on a platform built for commercial delivery from the start, where the work arrives under your name. FRGMT's free plan holds 5 GB, allows commercial use and counts no transfers.
