Whether you’re using an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, ScanTransfer simplifies the transfer process, eliminating the need for additional apps or software on your phone.
Key Features of ScanTransfer:
- No App Installation Needed: ScanTransfer sets itself apart by not requiring any additional app installation on your smartphone. For iPhone or iPad users, there’s no need to install iTunes either. The transfer process is as simple as scanning a QR code using your camera, Twitter, or any QR scanner app, allowing you to start transferring files instantly.

- Privacy and Data Security: ScanTransfer prioritizes user privacy and data security by operating within a Local Area Network (LAN). This ensures that your files stay local and private, without the risk of being uploaded to cloud services or other third-party servers.
