Why we built it
AirDrop is great, as long as every device is made by Apple. The moment an iPhone meets a Windows PC, or an Android phone meets a Mac, people fall back to emailing themselves, messaging apps that shrink their photos, or cloud uploads that take longer than the walk across the room.
We wanted something that works between any two devices, with nothing to install and no account to create. Open the same page on both, tap the other device, and the file is there.
How it works
Direct
Files travel straight between your devices over your own network, as fast as your Wi-Fi allows.
Private
Transfers are encrypted by the browser. Our server only introduces the devices and never sees your files.
Your choice
Nothing is saved until the receiving device accepts it, so nobody can send you a file you didn’t expect.

How it stays free
Because files never pass through our servers, running the service costs very little. To cover what it does cost, we may show a small number of ads. We will never sell your data or charge for the core feature: sending a file from one of your devices to another.
Who we are
Local File Transfer is built and run by a small independent team based in Pakistan. We are not affiliated with Apple, Google or Microsoft; see our Disclaimer.
