Send raw footage from your phone to your editing computer — no quality loss
You shot the video on your phone and it has to get onto the editing machine — at full quality, and usually before a deadline. Move the original file straight across in the browser, without a cable, an app, or a slow cloud upload.
Quick answer: Open WeScanTransfer on the editing computer, scan its QR code with the phone, pick the clip, and it downloads on the computer at original quality. No cable, account, or app — files up to 3 GB, free.

How it works
- 1
On the editing computer, open WeScanTransfer and leave the QR code on screen.
- 2
Scan it with the phone that has the footage — or send the pairing link to a remote editor so they scan it instead.
- 3
Pick the clips on the phone; they download on the computer at original quality, ready to drop into the timeline.
Why Drop
No quality loss
The original file moves across untouched — no messenger-style recompression, no resolution or bitrate downgrade before the edit even starts.
Beats the deadline
A realtime relay instead of a cloud round-trip: the footage lands on the editing machine while a Drive or WeTransfer upload would still be spinning.
Editor doesn't have to be in the room
Send the pairing link and a remote editor scans it from anywhere — the footage bridges cellular and Wi-Fi through the relay.
Up to 3 GB per file, free
Long takes and 4K clips send whole, with chunked upload that survives a network switch mid-transfer.
FAQ
Will my footage lose quality when I move it off my phone?
No. WeScanTransfer sends the original file as-is — there is no messenger-style recompression, so resolution, bitrate and codec reach the editing computer exactly as shot.
How do I get raw footage to an editor who isn't with me?
Send them the pairing link instead of scanning the QR yourself. They open it in a browser and the clips transfer through the relay, so it works even when you're on cellular and they're on Wi-Fi.
How large a video can I send for editing?
Up to 3 GB per file, free. Uploads are chunked and resume after a dropped connection, so long 4K takes still make it across in one go.
Do I need to install an app or create an account?
No. Drop runs in the browser on both devices. Open the site on your computer, scan the QR with your phone camera, and you're transferring. Apps exist too, but they're optional.
Is it really free?
Yes — transfers up to 3 GB per file are free, with no signup. Files self-delete after 24 hours, which is also why it stays private.
Is my data safe?
Transfers are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), links are unguessable, and everything hard-deletes after 24 hours. We never open or scan your files.
