Send PSD files and artwork to clients

The last round of revisions is closed, and you have to deliver the source files, the web exports, the print files and a preview the client will recognise at once. A .psd with smart objects, an .ai with linked images or an archive of Figma exports quickly goes over an attachment limit. The problem is not only moving the data, but sending the right version without the client digging through five links and three messages called "final".

Transferify fits the handover between freelancer and client. You bundle the deliverables in one transfer, send one link, and the client downloads in the browser, with no account and no app. For real-time feedback you stay in your design tool; for the approved artwork and the source files the contract owes, you make a clear delivery.

From revision to final package

Separate working files from what the client is meant to use. A predictable structure shows them where the vector logo is, which export is for social media and which PDF is ready for print. It also spares you the "which file do I download?" question after you have closed the project.

1. Make one folder for previews, one for exports and one for the editable source files of the handover.
2. Remove discarded variants, caches and local copies that are worth nothing to the client.
3. Add a short document with formats, colour spaces, sizes and notes on fonts or licences.
4. Name the archive after the project, the deliverable and the approved revision, not a chain of "final".
5. Choose a hosted link for a later download, or Instant peer-to-peer for a very large package with an arranged handover.

If you often send a client large files, this routine matters more than the compression method. You can add the whole delivery folder at once and the client gets the same subfolders back, as the guide on how to send a whole folder shows. The guide on sending without an account shows what the recipient sees.

Before you make the link, check whether the source files and the exports have to arrive together, how many people will download, and how long everything should stay reachable. The page on how to send large files helps you pick the mode by volume and handover time, without turning the delivery into a permanent library.

The client downloads without an account

In the hosted mode you upload the package once and can close the laptop. The client opens the link when they have time, without making an account. That suits the final delivery, the source files asked for after sign-off, or a set of exports that also has to reach the marketing team.

Instant peer-to-peer helps when the PSD or the production archive is over your plan's hosted size. Instant is free up to 5 GB on the free plan, and any paid plan unlocks any size. The condition matters: your browser and the client's stay connected until the end. If the person at the other end downloads tomorrow, choose hosted; if you have arranged a handover time, peer-to-peer saves you splitting the package.

The free plan has concrete limits

On the free plan the number of transfers is not capped, but live transfers share one storage allowance. The plan gives you 50 downloads in a calendar month, and the link closes after 1–3 days. That can cover a logo kit or a few exports, but it should not be treated as permanent storage for the client's portfolio.

Password and download alerts start on Basic. Zero-Knowledge encryption is available on the Premium plan. An alert tells you whether and when a download started, never who started it. Plus adds extending the expiry of a sent transfer. Premium offers download statistics, your logo and colours on every delivery and a branded link address. Compare the current plans with the size of the package and the real number of downloads.

A delivery that carries your identity

For an important handover, the download page can continue the presentation your proposal and portfolio began. Your name and a note above the file list are free on every plan. A branded page, with your logo, your colour, a font and an animated look built from your own images, is included on every plan, for every transfer you send. If you deliver all the time, Premium adds your logo and colours on every delivery and a branded link address, alongside download statistics.

Branding does not fix a confusing package, though. Settle the revision, the formats and the usage rights first; then brand the experience. For projects with copywriters, media buyers and several designers, the workflow for agencies is closer to reality, and when the files go to production, the page for print shops shows how a printer can ask you for them.

When Figma or a shared drive is the better choice

Figma wins while the design is still in progress: comments, prototypes, components and version history. A managed drive wins when the client needs a library that is always current. Transferify comes in at the switch from work to handover, when you say clearly: "these are the approved files."

Choose the tool by the state of the project. Leave revisions where they can be discussed, and at the end send the large PSD files, the exports and the source files as one package. The client gets a simple link, you keep a bounded handover, and the project does not end in a search through the inbox.
