Why Drop
No cable, no adapter
Skip the missing USB-C cable, the dongle and the charge-only-cord surprise — pairing is a QR scan in the browser.
No cloud upload wait
The photos move device-to-device through the relay, so you're not waiting on an iCloud or Drive sync to finish before you can edit.
Full resolution, RAW and HEIC intact
Files transfer as-is with no recompression, so RAW and HEIC reach the laptop at the quality you shot them.
Built for batches
Multi-select the whole shoot and send it in one go, up to 3 GB per file, free.

FAQ
How do I transfer a batch of photos from my phone to my laptop without a cable?
Pair the phone and laptop with a QR code in the browser, multi-select the shoot in your phone's photo picker, and download the batch on the laptop. No USB cable, adapter or app is involved.
Will my photos stay full resolution, and keep RAW or HEIC?
Yes. WeScanTransfer never recompresses your files, so RAW and HEIC images arrive on the laptop in their original format at full resolution.
Do I have to wait for a cloud upload to finish?
No. The transfer is a direct device-to-device relay, so you don't wait on an iCloud, Google Photos or Drive sync before the images are on your laptop.
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.
