Send PSD files with every layer intact

Layers, masks, and smart objects are exactly what a designer needs to keep, and exactly what compression destroys. A working PSD often runs past 500 MB, well beyond any email limit, and zipping barely helps. Share it through a UploadWings link and every layer lands intact, with no flattening.

The problem

Why PSD files are hard to send

PSD files store every layer, mask, and smart object uncompressed, so a detailed poster or mockup can balloon well past 500 MB.

Zipping a PSD barely shrinks it, and email still blocks it. Gmail's 25 MB limit rejects almost any real working file.

Designers need the layered original, not a flattened export, so quality and structure must survive the transfer exactly.

Typically created in Adobe Photoshop — usually sent by designers handing layered source files to clients or teammates.

Drag and drop your PSD (Photoshop) file onto the upload area, or click to browse for it. You can add more files to the same transfer if you need to.

3
Set expiry or a password (optional)

FAQ

Sending PSD files — questions

How do I send a PSD file that's too large to email?

Skip the attachment and share a download link instead. The full layered file transfers no matter how far past the 25 MB email limit it is.

Do the layers stay intact when I share a PSD?

Yes. UploadWings transfers the exact file, so every layer, mask, and smart object arrives exactly as you saved it.
