How it works
Three taps, one beam.
No pairing menus, no cables to find, no sign-up. Open the app on both devices and send.
-
Open Zapdrop on both devices
Join the same WiFi, or turn on one phone's hotspot. Nearby devices pop up on your radar with their name and avatar.
-
Pick what to send
Photos, videos, files, a folder, contacts or a note. Then tap the bubble of the device you want to send to.
-
Match the code and zap
Both screens show the same 4-digit code. The other person taps Accept, and everything flies across at full WiFi speed, checked file by file.
Not showing up? One phone shows a QR code and the other scans it. The pairing code works once and expires after 5 minutes.
Sending to a computer? It needs nothing installed, only a browser. See how it works.
Everything it carries
One app for every hop.
From a single photo to a whole phone's worth of memories, at the speed of your WiFi.
To any computer, nothing to install
Windows, Mac, Linux or Chromebook. Type the address your phone shows into a browser, enter the PIN, then drag files in or download what you share.
Photos and videos, untouched
Originals leave exactly as they were taken, with their date, camera details and location. Live Photos travel as their photo and video pair.
Sending to Android or a PC? Turn on HEIC to JPG.
Whole folders
Send a folder in one go, subfolders and all. From a computer, drag a folder onto the page.
Contacts
Pick the people to share. They arrive as contact cards that the other phone adds with one tap.
Text, links and clipboard
Send a link, an address or a note. On a computer, the clipboard box works both ways.
Move to a new phone
A guided move picks photos by album or date, videos, contacts and files, then sends them in a queue that survives interruptions.
Resumes, and checks every file
If the WiFi drops, Zapdrop carries on from where it stopped. Every file is verified with SHA-256, so what arrives is identical to what left.
Right from the share sheet
In Photos, Files or any other app, tap Share and pick Zapdrop. Big transfers show live speed and time left.
Private by design
Your files never leave your network.
Zapdrop has no cloud and no servers. Your devices talk to each other directly, and nothing is ever sent to us.
- Straight from device to deviceOver your WiFi or a phone's hotspot. Never over the internet, never through anyone's server.
- Encrypted between phonesEach device has its own certificate, and a 4-digit code on both screens confirms who you are sending to.
- PIN-locked on computersThe browser page needs a 6-digit PIN, only works on your network and stops by itself when idle.
- No account, no ads, no trackingNo sign-up, no analytics, no advertising. Your history stays on your phone.
Phone to computer
Any computer. Nothing to install.
Your phone serves a small, PIN-protected page to any browser on the same WiFi.
- In Zapdrop, tap To computer, then Start.
- On the computer, type the address the phone shows, like
http://192.168.1.23:8899. - Enter the 6-digit PIN. Drag files and folders in, download what the phone shares, or use the clipboard box.
Questions
Good to know
Is Zapdrop free?
Yes. Zapdrop is free, with no ads, no account and no size limit. Folders and computer auto-save are included.
Does it use the internet or my mobile data?
No. Files go directly between your devices over your WiFi, or over one phone's hotspot. They never travel over the internet, so a transfer does not use your data plan.
Can I send from iPhone to Android?
Yes, both ways. iPhone to Android, Android to iPhone, iPhone to iPhone and Android to Android all work, and any computer can join through its browser.
Will my photos lose quality?
No. Zapdrop sends the original files, not compressed copies, with their date, camera details and location. Live Photos arrive as their photo and video pair. If the other device can't open HEIC photos, turn on HEIC to JPG in Settings.
Does the computer need an app?
No. Any modern browser works: Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on Windows, Mac, Linux or a Chromebook. How to send files to a computer.
What if there is no WiFi?
Turn on one phone's hotspot and join it from the other device. Zapdrop shows the steps under No WiFi?, and the support page has them too.
Is it safe?
Transfers between Zapdrop apps are encrypted, and both screens show the same code so you know who is on the other end. The other person always has to accept, unless they marked you as trusted. The computer page needs a PIN and stops when idle. On public WiFi, use your own hotspot for anything private.
Is there a size limit?
No. The only limit is the free space on the device that receives.
When can I get it?
Zapdrop is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. This page will link to both stores as soon as it is live.
Zap it over.
Free for iPhone and Android. No internet, no cable, no account, and every file at full original quality.
