What is inside the connection code?

Network addresses (LAN IP or mDNS name) and a certificate fingerprint — no file content. It does reveal your local address, so show that code only to the device you are pairing with.

Can I send between different networks?

Enable “Across networks”, which asks a public STUN server once for this machine's public address — only the address; files never pass through it. The trade-off is that your public IP ends up in the code. There is no relay server (TURN) here, so two devices both behind symmetric NAT or a strict corporate network cannot connect at all; there you need a different network.

Do I need an account or an app?

Neither. A browser tab on each side is enough, including Safari and Chrome on phones.

Can I close the page mid-transfer?

No. The connection lives in the page, so closing a tab — or letting a phone lock for a while — drops it and you have to pair again. Keep the screen awake for big files.

Where do the received files go?

Each file triggers a download the moment it finishes, into your browser's download folder. With several files the browser may ask once whether to allow multiple downloads.

How does this compare to AirDrop?

AirDrop only works between Apple devices. This works across systems — Windows to iPhone, Android to Mac — as long as both sides can open a web page.

📡Send Files Device to Device - No Upload, No Server Copy

Moving a video off your phone usually means a messaging app that recompresses it, a cloud drive that makes you wait for an upload and then a download, or the cable you cannot find. This tool uses WebRTC: the two devices swap one connection code (a QR code scan does it), and after that the data flows directly between them. On the same Wi-Fi you get local-network speed, and a multi-gigabyte file never touches anyone's server.

How to use Peer-to-peer send

1Open this page on both devices; pick “Send files” on one and “Receive files” on the other
2The sender picks files and creates an invite code; the receiver scans or pastes it
3The receiver gets a reply code — scan or paste that back on the sender
4The receiver hits “Start receiving” and each file is saved as it arrives
