The process
📱

Open BeamQR on both devices

Go to beamqr.pro/file-tsfr/ in any browser on your phone and your desktop or laptop. No app to download, no account to create. If the browser is open, you're ready.

Works on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux
📷

Scan the QR code

One device shows a QR code automatically. Point the other device's camera at it. The two browsers establish a direct peer-to-peer connection in seconds — no server handles your file.

Connection is end-to-end, session-only
📂

Select your files

Choose photos, videos, documents, RAW files, AI-generated images — anything. BeamQR sends up to 10 files per session at their original size. No compression, no format conversion, no quality reduction.

Any file type · Any size · No compression
✅

Download on the receiving device

The file appears on the receiving device instantly. Tap to download. The file you receive is byte-for-byte identical to the original — same resolution, same metadata, same everything.

Close the tab to end the session. Nothing is stored.

Why it's different

Built around one rule:
your files stay yours.

Every design decision in BeamQR comes from a single constraint — your files should never touch a server.

☁️

Zero cloud involvement

Files travel browser-to-browser using WebRTC. No upload step, no server copy, no storage quota.

🎯

Lossless transfer

Unlike WhatsApp or Telegram, BeamQR never re-encodes or resizes your files. What you send is what arrives.

🔒

Session-only privacy

The connection exists only while both tabs are open. Close either tab and the session ends — permanently.

⚡

No setup, ever

No account, no app, no OAuth. Open a URL on two devices and you're ready. That's the entire setup process.
