CrossTransfer vs PixeDrop

Your vacation photos are on your phone. Your presentation is on your computer. Bring them together with CrossTransfer: send files directly between nearby devices on the same Wi-Fi or local network. MAKE EVERYDAY SHARING EASIER • Move photos, videos, documents, folders, and text between phones, tablets, and computers. • Find nearby devices and choose what to send. • Save received files to a location you select. • Follow migration progress and review completed and unfinished items. • Retry unfinished migration items after reconnecting compatible devices. YOUR NETWORK, YOUR FILES File transfers travel over your local network without uploading them to a cloud transfer service. Use CrossTransfer for a quick handoff at home, a document at work, or files for your next project. GET CONNECTED Install CrossTransfer on both devices, connect them to the same network, and confirm the receiving device. Keep the app available during transfers. Migration features require compatible versions on both ends; speed and available data types depend on your devices, network, and permissions.

Move text, images and files from your computer to your phone by scanning a QR code. No USB stick, no cable, no emailing things to yourself — and nothing passes through a server. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open pixedrop.com in your computer's browser 2. Paste some text, or drop in an image or file 3. Point PixeDrop at your computer screen — it lands on your phone Nothing to install on the computer. The web page is the sender. WHAT YOU CAN SEND · Text — long commands, connection strings, keys, codes. Copy with one tap, without mistyping a character · Images — screenshots, charts, photos. Save straight to Photos or forward on · Files — any format, up to 1 MB each. Hand off to Files or any other app via the system share sheet WHY NOTHING TOUCHES A SERVER Your content is encoded into a sequence of animated QR codes shown on the computer screen, and read back by the phone's camera. The data travels between your own two screens. It is never uploaded, relayed, or stored on any server. · The phone needs no network at all — it works in airplane mode · No account, no sign-up, no personal information collected · The camera is used only to recognise QR codes live; no photos or video are taken or saved · No advertising SDKs, no tracking code GOOD FOR · Two devices with no network in common, when opening your email just to move a line of text is absurd · A computer that is offline, or content you would rather not put on any network · Grabbing a command or a screenshot off a screen and onto your phone · Meeting rooms, server rooms, a client's desk — if there is a screen, it works WORTH KNOWING · No network on the computer? Download the offline version from pixedrop.com — a single HTML file — copy it over and open it in any browser · 1 MB per file. The larger the content, the longer the QR sequence plays · Speed depends on screen brightness, camera distance and ambient light Available in 36 languages, following your system language.
