Send via Wi-Fi Unlimited
Send files of any size straight to a phone, tablet or computer nearby. No upload, no account, nothing stored on a server.
Works right here in your browser. On a phone, the free app also sends in the background: Get the app

Connecting…
End-to-end encrypted. Files go device to device (WebRTC, DTLS); our relay, if used, can't read them.
Receiving needs your PIN:
Signed in: your own phones and computers show up here on any network.
Sign in to see your own devices here on any network, with no code.
Private room PIN
Only people who open this room's link can see you. People on the same Wi-Fi without it can't.
Scan with the other device's camera to join (they'll need the PIN).

Moving to a new phone?
Open this page on both phones. Pick what to move here, then tap the new phone below.
This browser can't read your contacts directly. Save them as one contacts file (.vcf) first, then choose that file:
- iPhone: open Contacts, go to Lists, touch and hold All Contacts (or a list), tap Export, then Save to Files.
- Android: open the Contacts app > Fix & manage (or Settings) > Export to file. On Samsung: Contacts > Manage contacts > Import or export > Export.
- Google account: on contacts.google.com, choose Export > vCard.
This page moves
- Photos and videos in full quality
- Contacts (as a contacts file the new phone imports)
- Documents, music, downloads, any file
Use the phone's own transfer for
- Apps and their data, settings, messages
- WhatsApp chats (WhatsApp's own transfer or backup)
- Authenticator codes, bank apps, eSIM
Step-by-step: moving everything to a new phone · Contacts on iPhone and Android
Now tap the device to send them to. They go as soon as you tap the other device. Open this page on it first.
This page is also open in another tab of this browser. That's you, not another device, so it isn't listed. To send, open this page on the other phone or computer.
Waiting for the other device…
Open this same page on the other device
sharelargefilesfree.com/
Scan it with the other phone's camera. On the same Wi-Fi or hotspot the device shows up here on its own.

No Wi-Fi, or the devices can't find each other? Use a hotspot
One phone shares its connection; the other device joins it. Files then go straight between the two and don't use mobile data.
- iPhone: Settings > Personal Hotspot > Allow Others to Join. On the other device, pick the iPhone's name in Wi-Fi.
- Android: pull down the quick settings > Hotspot (or Settings > Network > Hotspot & tethering).
- Windows: Settings > Network & internet > Mobile hotspot.
- Mac: join the phone's hotspot from the Wi-Fi menu.
Then open this page on both devices. Office or hotel Wi-Fi that keeps devices apart is a common reason they don't see each other: a hotspot, or a private room, gets around it.
Want only the people you invite?
You get a link to share. Only people who open it see you, on any network. Good for offices, cafés, or sending to several people at once.

How it works
- Open this page on both devices (sharelargefilesfree.com/send-via-wifi): the sender's and the receiver's. Nothing arrives on a device that doesn't have this page open. On the same Wi-Fi or hotspot they see each other; anywhere else, pair them with a short code.
- Tap the device you want to send to and pick your files, or drop them on it.
- The other person taps Accept. The files go straight across and land in their Downloads folder.
Send via Wi-Fi or send a link?
Send via Wi-Fi is best when both people are online at the same time: moving videos from your phone to your laptop, or handing a folder to a colleague in the same room. There is no size limit and nothing is uploaded, so on a fast home or office network a large video arrives in minutes.
A download link is best when the other person will download later or is far away. The files wait for them for days, and you can see when they were downloaded. Send with a link

Frequently asked questions
Is there really no size limit?
Yes. The files go straight from one device to the other and are never uploaded, so there is no limit on file size or number of files. The only limits are the free space on the receiving device and keeping both pages open until the transfer ends. The one exception: when two devices can only reach each other through our relay (see below), a transfer can be up to 5 GB.
Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
Devices on the same Wi-Fi (or the same office or home network) find each other on their own. Devices on different networks can still connect: show a short code on one and type it, or scan its QR code, on the other. On the same Wi-Fi the transfer runs at the speed of your local network, not your internet connection.
Are my files uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. Our server only introduces the two devices to each other. The files travel over an encrypted direct connection (WebRTC, DTLS) between the two browsers and are never stored on a server. When a network blocks direct connections, the encrypted data passes through our relay server on its way; the relay can't read it and keeps nothing.
Do I need to install an app or create an account?
No. Open this page in a browser on both devices: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on a phone, tablet or computer. No sign-up.
Who can see my device?
Only devices on the same network as you, and devices you pair with a code. Nothing is sent until the other person presses Accept, and you can change the name you appear as.
Where are received files saved?
In your Downloads folder, like any other download. On computers and Android the file is written to disk as it arrives. On iPhone and iPad the file is kept in memory until it is complete, so very large files need enough free memory.
What if the devices cannot connect?
Some company, hotel and mobile networks block direct connections between devices. The page then connects them through our relay server automatically, which can be slower; the transfer shows "via our relay". If even that fails, put both devices on the same Wi-Fi, or send the files with a download link instead, which works on any network.
