Send files of any size,
instantly & free.
No account. No upload wait. No size limit. Your file streams peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted, and nothing ever touches a server.
Sender tab must stay open: their screen must stay awake, the file streams live from their device.
Only connect to people you trust: files arrive directly, we never scan or store them.
iPhone to Android,
and back, with no app.
AirDrop only works iPhone to iPhone. Nearby Share only works Android to Android. The moment you need to cross from one ecosystem to the other, both built-in tools stop working, and most people end up emailing themselves a file or messaging it through WhatsApp, which compresses photos and videos.
TransferFiles.net works in the browser on both platforms, so the operating system doesn't matter. Open the link in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android, and the file streams directly across, at full quality, no compression.
Send files iphone to android: what to know
Sending from an iPhone
Open transferfiles.net in Safari, tap "Send a file," and choose from Photos, Files, or any app that supports the share sheet. Keep Safari open and your screen unlocked until the transfer finishes; iOS will pause background tabs aggressively if the screen sleeps.
Receiving on an Android device
Open the link in Chrome. The file downloads automatically once the bar hits 100%, you'll find it in your phone's Downloads folder or the notification shade, depending on your Android version.
Sending from Android to iPhone
Same process in reverse: pick the file in Chrome on Android, send the link, and the iPhone receiver opens it in Safari. Large video files transfer at full resolution since nothing gets compressed in between.
Built different. Actually free.
Files never touch our servers. That eliminates our costs and your limits.
End-to-End Encrypted
WebRTC's mandatory DTLS-SRTP encryption. On by default, cannot be disabled. Nobody reads your files in transit.
No Upload Wait
Files stream instantly the moment the receiver connects. No waiting for an upload to complete first.
No Size Limit
Most free transfer plans cap you at 2 to 15 GB. We cap nothing. Send 4K videos, project folders, 50 GB archives.
Any Device
iPhone to Android, Mac to Windows, tablet to desktop. Any combination, any modern browser.
No Account Ever
No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the page, pick a file, share the link. Done.
Always Free
No bandwidth bill means no pricing tiers. We cover costs through display ads. No paywall, ever.

Questions about send files iPhone to Android
Yes, that's the point. TransferFiles.net doesn't use either system; it works through the browser on both platforms, so it doesn't matter that AirDrop and Nearby Share are locked to their own ecosystems.
No. The file transfers byte-for-byte with no compression, unlike sending through WhatsApp or iMessage, which both re-encode media to save bandwidth.
No. Both sides just need a modern mobile browser, Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android. No app store download required.
iOS suspends Safari tabs in the background to save battery, which cuts the live connection. Keep the screen on and Safari in the foreground until the transfer completes.
