CéSAR vs WeTransfer: Which to choose for your wedding photos?
Find out why WeTransfer is no longer suitable for sharing wedding photos, and why CéSAR's facial recognition is the best alternative.

WeTransfer is great for sending a large file to a professional, but a nightmare for wedding guests who have to download gigabytes of photos (often expired) and hunt for their own. CéSAR Photo uses facial recognition to instantly deliver a personalized gallery to each guest via a simple selfie.
| Criterion | CéSAR Photo | WeTransfer |
|---|---|---|
| Guest experience | A selfie and they get their photos | Download a .zip file |
| Expiration | No, permanent access | Link expires after 7 days |
| Photo sorting | Automatic by AI | Manual by each guest |
The differences in detail
The advantage of WeTransfer is that it's free for simple sends. The downside is that the link expires very quickly. If a guest opens the email two weeks after the wedding, the photos are gone. Furthermore, downloading a 5GB zip file on a smartphone is nearly impossible.
When to choose WeTransfer
Choose WeTransfer if you need to send the entire high-definition coverage to your printer or wedding planner for a one-time professional use.
When to choose CéSAR Photo
Choose CéSAR Photo to share memories with your guests. They won't have to download a heavy folder or sort through what interests them: a selfie is enough for them to find all their emotions.
