Open IcyZip
Start on the device that should show the QR code. The page creates a pairing view in that browser.
QR paired transfer
Browser File Transfer
Pair two browser views with a QR code, use the same live text field on both sides, and send one selected file when you need a quick handoff between phone, laptop, tablet, or desktop.
- No account. Open the page, scan the QR code, and use the paired browser session.
- No app install. IcyZip runs in modern browsers on phones and computers.
- Live paired transfer. Send one selected file while both browsers stay connected.
How it works
Move from QR code to transfer in three steps
Use IcyZip for quick browser-to-browser handoffs without sending yourself email, setting up a cloud folder, or installing a transfer app.
Scan or open the link
Use the other device to scan the QR code or open the pairing link in its browser.
Send text or a file
Paste live text for immediate handoff, or use the file action to send one selected file while both browsers are connected.
Use cases
Useful when the devices are already in your hands
Phone to computer file transfer
Send a photo, export, or document from a phone browser to a desktop browser in the same session.
Computer to phone handoff
Move a selected file or a text snippet to a mobile browser without pairing an account first.
QR code file transfer
Use the QR code as the connection step, then keep the actual exchange inside the paired browsers.
Live text bridge
Copy links, codes, notes, or short instructions through the shared live text field.
Security and privacy
Browser-encrypted transfer with clear operating details
Current product clients encrypt live text and file bytes before transport. The paired browser decrypts the content after it arrives.
Encrypted browser payloads
The current browser clients encrypt text and file bytes before sending them through the service. The paired browser decrypts them.
Connection and transfer details
The service processes timing, browser class, message sizes, filename, file size, type hint, and transfer identifiers to coordinate the live handoff. The privacy policy explains these operating details.
Focused one-file workflow
Send one selected file directly to the active paired browser and download it there.
Files up to 25 MB
Choose and send one file up to 25 MB per transfer.
FAQ
Browser file transfer questions
How do I transfer a file between two browsers?
Open IcyZip on one device, scan the QR code with the other device, wait until both browser views are connected, then choose the file action and send one selected file.
Does IcyZip need an account?
No. IcyZip uses a QR code or pairing link instead of account login, email, or cloud-drive setup.
Can I transfer from phone to computer?
Yes. Open IcyZip on the computer, scan the QR code with the phone, then send text or one selected file from either side while both browsers stay connected.
When is the file available?
The paired receiver gets a download action as soon as the live transfer completes. Keep both browsers connected during the handoff.
How is the file protected?
Current product clients encrypt file bytes in the sending browser and decrypt them in the paired receiver. The privacy policy explains the operating data used to coordinate the transfer.
