Transfer Files Between Devices Without a Cable

USB cables make a simple task complicated. You have to find the right cable (USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB, USB-A), unlock both devices, pick the right USB mode, install or accept the driver, and navigate the file manager to find what you need. Clipcroft replaces all of that with a shared page in your browser.

Three steps, no cable, no app

1. On the device that has the file, open clipcroft.com in any browser and tap or click Create a new clipboard. You'll get a short shared name like "748".
2. On the destination device, open clipcroft.com in any browser and type the same name. Both devices are now connected.
3. Drop the file on the source page, paste an image, or pick the file from the upload area. It appears on the destination device immediately.

Works between any two devices

The same flow works in any direction:

• Phone to PC, PC to phone
• Phone to phone (different brands, different OSes)
• Tablet to phone, tablet to PC
• Two PCs in different rooms or different cities
• Any combination of Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, iOS, Android

Why this beats a cable for most everyday transfers

Clipcroft uses WebRTC — the browser-to-browser technology behind Google Meet and most modern video calls. When both devices are on the same shared clipboard name, the browsers establish a direct peer-to-peer connection over the internet. Files travel directly between the two browsers — no upload to any server, no cable, no Bluetooth pairing.

Practical wins over a cable:

• No cable to find or buy
• No "trust this computer" prompts, no USB-mode selection, no driver install
• Works at any distance — devices do not need to be in the same room
• Works for cross-OS combinations a cable would not handle (iPhone to a Linux laptop, for example)
• Full-resolution photos and videos preserved; no compression
• Multiple files at once via drag-and-drop, including whole folders

Browser support

Any modern browser on any platform: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Samsung Internet, and Brave on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, iOS 15.4 or newer, and Android 8 or newer. No app install, no account, no extension required.

Frequently asked questions

Do both devices need to be in the same room?

No. Clipcroft works over the internet, so any two devices with a working internet connection can transfer files — across the room, across the country, or across the world.

Do I need Bluetooth?

No. Clipcroft does not use Bluetooth at all. It establishes a direct browser-to-browser connection over your existing internet connection.

What if I don't have Wi-Fi?

Cellular data works fine. Either device — or both — can be on 4G or 5G. Wi-Fi is just one option.

Is this faster than a cable?

Cables are usually faster for very large files (multiple gigabytes) when both devices are nearby. Clipcroft is faster end-to-end for small and medium files because it skips the cable hunt, USB-mode selection, driver install, and file-manager navigation.

What about for very large files?

There is no per-file size cap. The free tier covers the first 5 MB of cumulative transfer per session; one short ad then grants one hour of unlimited transfers. Ads can be disabled in Settings.
