A thousand photos. Shared in a blink. Sparrow Transfer is a live photo and video sharing app made for the moments when you have a lot to share and do not want anyone waiting around. Choose your photos or videos, start a session, and share them live with the people you choose. Whether it is a family trip, a wedding, a birthday, or a camera roll full of memories, Sparrow Transfer makes sharing feel immediate. SHARE LARGE COLLECTIONS, FAST Have hundreds or thousands of photos? Start sharing right away. Photos begin appearing as people browse, so there is no need to wait for an entire collection to finish uploading before anyone can see it. SHARE LIVE Sparrow Transfer turns photo sharing into something you experience together. Start a session, invite your people, and let them browse while you share. A live viewer count lets you see who is there with you. STRAIGHT FROM YOUR PHONE Your photos and videos are shared directly between participating devices. There is no need to create a cloud album first or wait for a traditional upload to finish. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Share with the people you choose. Private sessions are limited to invited members. For larger groups, you can create a public session and let people join with a simple 4-digit code. ANY DISTANCE Your people do not need to be in the same room. Sparrow Transfer works across different networks and countries, so you can share with family, friends, and loved ones wherever they are. YOUR CIRCLES Create circles for the people you share with regularly. Keep your family, friends, or favorite groups ready for the next session. KEEP HOSTING IN THE BACKGROUND Leave Sparrow Transfer while hosting and your session can continue running in the background. SAVE PHOTOS YOU RECEIVE When someone shares a photo with you, save it directly to your own photo library. YOUR PHOTOS STAY OFF SPARROW'S SERVERS Your photos and videos are transferred between participating devices through an encrypted connection. They are never uploaded to or stored on Sparrow's servers. Sparrow Transfer uses a small backend for account sign-in, helping devices connect, and keeping session information in sync. Your media itself is not stored there. MADE FOR REAL MOMENTS Family trips. Weddings. Birthdays. Reunions. Holidays. Parties. Long-distance families. Friends in different cities. Whenever you have a lot to share, Sparrow Transfer lets people start looking almost immediately. Share the moment, not the upload.
