For photographers: deliver the originals, not the previews

The shoot is done. Hundreds of JPEGs, the RAWs, maybe a backstage clip. Gmail says no, WhatsApp crushes the files. On mandalo.it you upload the folder and send a link: the client, the jury or the print shop download the same files you exported.

  • JPEG, TIFF, RAW, DNG: full quality, no compression
  • The whole shoot folder, one link
  • Italian service, EU privacy, even without an account

No opaque galleries, no split zip files, no “I’ll put them on Drive”. One transfer, one expiry, a password if the work is confidential. Italian operator, EU infrastructure.

    The password is not sent in the transfer email. The sender must share it with the recipient directly (phone, chat, etc.).

    Remember: the password is not included in the send. Share it with the recipient on a separate channel.

    Security and infrastructure details

    Three uses, the same gesture

    How it works, in a minute

    Shoots, RAW and JPEGs: a link instead of the attachment. Press play.

    How to deliver a shoot

    1. Drop the export folder (or the files) into the form on this page.
    2. Do not downsize them “so they fit”: the cap is not Gmail’s or WhatsApp’s.
    3. Email the client or paste the link in WhatsApp, Telegram or mail.
    4. If the work is private, turn on a password and share it on another channel.

    Why chat and email ruin the work

    WhatsApp and Messenger crush JPEGs. Email attachments stop at 20–25 MB: thirty 8 MP photos bounce. A link transfer does not touch the pixels: they download the same file you uploaded. Useful for weddings, still life, editorial, real estate and press delivery.

    Contests, clients, newsrooms

    Same gesture, three situations: the couple who want the originals, a contest jury that asks for uncompressed TIFFs, a newsroom that has to print. You generate the link, send it, set expiry. Recipients do not register.

    RAW, video and plans

    RAWs are heavy. If you also send 4K clips, look at Pro (up to 100 GB per send). For everyday full-size JPEGs, Guest or Free is often enough. Guest is 1 send per day, no account.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does mandalo.it compress the photos?

    No. We keep the files you upload. This is not a social “optimizer”.

    Must the client register to download?

    No. They open the link in a browser and download.

    Can I send RAW and video together with JPEGs?

    Yes, in the same folder or transfer. Very large sends are a Pro job.

    Is it OK for a photo contest?

    Yes: you send the originals the brief asks for (JPEG, TIFF, sometimes RAW) with a time-limited link. Judges download without an account.

    Where do files live?

    Italian service (FR Italy, Cuneo), EU infrastructure, HTTPS and encryption at rest. Not a US WeTransfer clone.
