Design delivery

How do you deliver design source files (PSD/AI) to a client?

Upload the source files as a delivery link: the client previews online or downloads the originals with a password — PSD/AI files arrive intact and untouched, no software to install, no sign-up, and every view and download leaves a receipt on record.

Deliver source files free

You've wrapped the VI system or the key visual — and delivery is exactly where things go sideways: layered PSDs routinely run one to two GB, and WeChat won't send them; send only the exports and the client says 'I need the source files'; cloud drives mean throttled downloads on the client's side and complaints about the hassle. Worse, by revision fifteen the 'v3_final_really-final.psd' buried in your chat history has become impossible to tell apart — one wrong send and it's back to square one.

WringCloud turns source-file delivery into a single link: upload PSD/AI/Sketch files together with exports, fonts, and asset notes, and the client opens it in a browser, types the password, and previews or downloads — no sign-up, nothing to install. A SHA256 checksum guarantees what the client receives matches what you exported bit for bit; the link carries its own extraction password, expiry, and download limit, so source files can't be casually forwarded around. Every view and download leaves a receipt — acceptance and billing both rest on record.

Deliver the source files in three steps

1

Bundle and upload, generate a delivery link

Bundle the source files with exports, fonts, and asset notes, drag them into WringCloud, and set the extraction password, expiry, and download limit. When both sides are online it's P2P direct transfer — free with no throttling; when the client is offline, cloud secure relay takes over, billed by download traffic (traffic packs from ¥1 = 2 GB).

2

The client previews or downloads with the password

Send the link by WeChat, email — whatever works. The client clicks through to preview the renders online, confirms, then downloads the originals: the very source files you delivered, with layers, smart objects, and artboards preserved intact.

3

Receipts on record, acceptance on evidence

Which day the client opened it, which day they downloaded — the receipts remember precisely. Acceptance milestones and billing evidence stay on the account; when a dispute arises, just pull the records instead of arguing from memory and screenshots.

How common delivery methods compare

For the same 2 GB layered source file, here's how the usual delivery methods really differ (based on each product's current behavior):

Delivery method Size limit Speed Install / sign-up needed? Receipts? Professionalism
WeChat / QQ file transfer Per-file size caps; large PSDs often won't send Okay when both sides are online; waiting when offline Requires the matching chat app None, and files expire Fine for daily chat; feels casual for formal delivery
Cloud drive sharing Storage depends on your plan Large-file downloads throttled without membership Smoother with an account and the desktop client No download receipts Links scattered around; versions hard to trace
Email attachment Attachments typically capped at a few dozen MB Slow Nothing special to install None Large source files simply won't send
USB drive / courier Depends on the drive's capacity Shipping measured in days Nothing to install None Labor and shipping costs; trips back and forth
WringCloud delivery link 10 GB per file after sign-up; unlimited via LAN direct transfer on plans Full gigabit on LAN; end-to-end encrypted relay across networks Opens in a browser; recipients need no account Receipts and audit trail for both views and downloads Password + expiry + download limit, SHA256 check against tampering

The above is an objective comparison of common usage patterns and is not a commentary on other products.

FAQ

Will the source files be compressed or corrupted?

No. WringCloud delivers the original files with no transcoding and no compression; a SHA256 checksum guarantees they are exactly what was uploaded — PSD layers, smart objects, and AI artboards all preserved — so what the client downloads is precisely the copy you delivered.

What if the client forwards the link to someone else?

Three layers of protection have you covered: without the password no one can retrieve the files, and once the download limit is used up or the link expires, it deactivates automatically. For confidential projects, deliver the exports first and hold the source files until the contract is confirmed.

After a dozen revisions, how do I manage source-file versions?

Generate a fresh delivery link for each revision round; old links can be deactivated, with receipts recorded per link. Move the finalized files into 'My Library' (from 50 GB on the Personal plan) for staging, and compare versions anytime. For more approaches, see The client keeps revising — how do I manage file versions?

Can the client receive source files on a phone?

The link opens in a mobile browser too, so preview and confirmation work on the go; but since source files are large and need professional software, it's best for the client to download them on a computer first.

Source-file delivery can be both polished and bulletproof. Head back to the WringCloud homepage, drop in a file, and try it — sending is free; if anything is unclear, browse the FAQ first.
