How it works

Visit BeamQR in any browser on your phone and desktop. No app, no login.
One device shows a QR code. Scan it with the other device's camera to connect instantly.
Choose photos, videos, documents, AI renders — up to 10 files, any size, any type.
Files arrive on the other device at full quality. Identical to the original — no compression.

Files move browser-to-browser using WebRTC. No upload step, no server copy, no storage quota used.
Unlike WhatsApp or Telegram, BeamQR never re-encodes or resizes. What you send is exactly what arrives.
The connection exists only while both tabs are open. Close either tab and the session ends permanently.
No account, no app, no OAuth. Open a URL on two devices and you're ready in seconds.
iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux — any device with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
BeamQR imposes no cap. Transfer RAW photos, 4K videos, and large AI renders without limits.
