Send files offline with QRDrop

QRDrop transfers files from your computer to your phone using only the computer screen and the phone’s camera. The browser displays the file as a series of QR codes. No network connection, USB connection, or Bluetooth is required.

QRDrop is designed for environments where those connections are unavailable or restricted. The trade-off is slower transfers, especially for larger files, because the phone has to scan the QR codes one at a time.

Transfer speed and how often QR codes are missed depend on the scanning phone, the ambient lighting, and the screen displaying the codes. Missed codes can be picked up on the next playback loop.

1. Click Choose file, then scan QR 1 with the QRDrop app on your phone.
2. Click Play and keep your phone pointed at the screen until the app finishes receiving the file. Playback loops so the app can catch missed codes.
3. If scanning is difficult, try Full screen or increase Time per QR code. Use Go to QR 1 to pause and return to the first code.
