Send any file to any device. Zynk moves your photos, videos, folders and documents straight from one device to another, privately and with no file size limit on direct transfers. Chat with anyone, and share a quick link with people who don't use Zynk. When a direct connection is possible, files travel straight between your devices, peer to peer, with nothing to upload first. When it isn't, Zynk falls back to an encrypted relay automatically. If the other person is offline, your file waits and is delivered when they're back. Interrupted transfers resume where they left off. SEND YOUR WHOLE GALLERY AT ONCE Pick all your photos and videos, thousands of them, and send them in one go to a friend or to your own device. Zynk groups them into one transfer, shows how many items are left, and starts each batch automatically as the last one finishes. EVERY DEVICE, ONE TAP Move files between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux and other phones and tablets. Your own devices appear in one list, so sending a file to your PC or tablet takes a single tap. CHAT WHILE YOU SHARE Send a message with your files, preview photos, videos, PDFs and code right in the conversation, and keep every transfer in one thread. Watch progress, speed and connection type live. SEND FILES TO ANYONE Create a link for a file or folder and send it to anyone. They open it in any browser, no Zynk needed. Add a password and set an expiry. COLLECT FILES FROM ANYONE Create a drop link so others can send files to you, even if they don't have Zynk. CALL YOUR CONTACTS Start an end-to-end encrypted audio call straight from a chat. Test your mic and speaker before you call, and switch devices mid-call. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Transfers, messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted, so you can chat and share safely with anyone on Zynk.
