Optical File Transfer

By: Paweł
Copy small files to your phone through camera - as a stream of QR images.

Features & Capabilities

Send small files to your phone through the camera as a stream of QR images.

Features:

• No WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, USB cable or internet connection required for transfer
• Wireless and offline at the same time
• Minimal setup: in download mode, just point the camera at the QR stream and wait
• Can send files shared from other apps, such as file managers
• Can broadcast a file full-screen in a loop, for example from a TV or monitor

Notes:

• To receive a file from a desktop PC, use the web uploader:
https://wrobel1989.bitbucket.io/

It runs fully in the browser and is compatible with this app.

• Larger files can take a long time to transfer. This app is not intended to replace USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC or other standard transfer methods.

• Transfer reliability depends on camera quality, phone performance, screen brightness, focus and selected transfer settings.

• If transfer is unreliable on default settings, try lowering FPS or allowing more errors.

• Transfer settings affect only the QR stream producer in upload mode. Download mode adapts to the stream it sees.

• Free version supports files up to 15 MB in size.

User Reviews

The app works very well. The file transfer is anything but fast, however it works almost every time. Animating QR codes is an amazing idea.

Wasted my time. Not able to transfer. Worst UI-UX. Application crashed.
