Will my photos arrive in their original resolution?

Yes. Screenshots appear in the same photo picker. You can also share a screenshot directly from the iOS or Android share sheet to the QuickBridge browser tab if it is open.
Is QuickBridge free?
QuickBridge is free to use, with no subscription required. Advertisements may appear on the site to help support its ongoing operation.
What is QuickBridge?
QuickBridge is a browser-based peer-to-peer file transfer tool. Open the site on both devices, scan the QR code or enter the 6-digit PIN, and files stream directly between the two browsers over an encrypted WebRTC channel. No account, no app install, and no cloud file storage.
Who is QuickBridge best for?
QuickBridge is best for anyone who needs to move files between two devices in real time without a USB cable, account, or app install. Both devices need to have a browser open at the same time. Choose a cloud service like Google Drive or WeTransfer when the recipient will not be online right away, or when you need the same file to reach several people at different times.
