How to choose

If both devices are on the same Wi-Fi and cooperating, a local tool is great. The moment you cross networks, an ecosystem (iPhone ↔ Windows), or want the other device to receive it later, a relayed, browser-based tool like WeScanTransfer is the reliable choice — no install, no account, up to 3 GB.

Local & peer-to-peer tools

Fast and private on one Wi-Fi network — but they stall when devices are on different networks, discovery fails, or the other device isn't online. WeScanTransfer keeps the scan-and-send simplicity and adds cross-network, relayed delivery.

Built-in & OS transfer tools

The tools baked into your phone or PC are convenient — until you cross ecosystems (iPhone ↔ Windows), lose a discontinued app, or hit a platform limit. A neutral, browser-based tool sidesteps the platform gaps.

Cloud transfer & storage services

Cloud services can move files, but they ask for an account or email, keep your files on a server, and sometimes raise real privacy questions. WeScanTransfer relays directly and deletes everything in 24 hours.

Not sure which you're switching from?

It doesn't matter — WeScanTransfer works the same way every time. Scan, drop, done.
