WeTransfer system guidelines

On your internet browser go to the WeTransfer website https://wetransfer.com  and you can upload your photo from there, without having to reduce the file size. It’s a great system to use for sending photos at any time, and up to 2GB is free (which is a lot of photos!). Only send JPEGs, and not RAW, PDF or TIFF Files. It’s free! Ignore all advertisements.  It is not necessary to download an app.

Some web-links to videos that show how WeTransfer works – these are a bit out of date so graphics on website are not exactly the same but it shows the principles.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwLH9O8a4UI    or   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SgN1cfXLwE

PLEASE DO NOT PANIC!  It looks like a lot of instructions, but in reality, it is very easy and will only take you a few minutes, once you have your photo selected.  Many people on the main committee will be happy to help you to use WeTransfer so if you don’t have someone to help you, please contact Karen Flynn before Monday, 8th November.
