The problem
Getting photos off a phone shouldn't be this awkward
Hunting for a cable, e-mailing files to yourself, or installing an app with an account on both devices just to move a few holiday photos.
Where's the cable?
The right cable is never in the drawer, and iPhones still ask whether to trust this computer every time.
E-mailing yourself
Attachments get squashed or bounced for size, and your inbox fills with copies of your own photos.
An app on every device
Most transfer tools need their app on the phone and on the PC, often with an account to sign in to.
Ads and tiny quotas
Free transfer apps fill the screen with ads and cap how much you can send each month before asking you to pay.
Through someone's cloud
Many services route your personal photos through their servers or need internet just to connect two devices in one room.
Dates lost on the way
Photos arrive dated today, not the day they were taken, so years of pictures end up jumbled in your folders.
Vow Wireless Transfer fixes all of it.
How it works
Scan. Pick. Done.
Point the phone's camera at your PC, choose your photos, and they land in your Pictures folder over your own Wi-Fi.
- 01
Scan the code
Open the app and point your phone's camera at the QR code. The phone's browser opens Vow's page. The phone remembers the PC for next time.
Scan the QR code with your phone's camera to connect - 02
Pick photos or files
Tap Photos & videos or Files and choose as many as you like. Three travel at once, with progress and time left on both screens.
...and the rest: send to your phone, text, links and the guide - 03
They land on your PC
Files go to Pictures\From my phone, keeping their original names and the date each photo or video was taken.
Everything received from or sent to a phone, in one list
Features
Wireless transfer that just works, both ways
For iPhone and Android alike, with the details right: real photo dates, resumed transfers and original names.
Nothing to install on the phone
Works in Safari, Chrome, Samsung Internet or Firefox. Scan the QR code, or type the address and a 6-digit code.
Both directions
Phone to PC, and PC to phone: drop files on the window or use Send to in Explorer and they appear on the phone at once.
Real photo dates kept
Photos and videos keep the date they were taken, read from JPEG, HEIC, PNG, RAW, MP4 and MOV files.
Picks up where it stopped
A dropped Wi-Fi, a locked phone or a restarted PC: transfers continue where they left off instead of starting again.
Text and links too
Type or paste a link, an address or a code on either side and copy it on the other with one tap.
View and play on the phone
Files shared from the PC show thumbnails, open photos, stream videos and download one by one or all as a ZIP.
Auto-sync
With Unlimited, pick your whole camera roll and only new photos travel, or keep a PC folder on the phone.
Shared clipboard
With Unlimited, copy on the PC and it's on the phone, or send phone text straight onto the PC clipboard.
Works with LocalSend
Phones and PCs that already use the free LocalSend app see this PC too, and you can send to them.
Stays on your network
Connections from outside your local network are refused, phones are paired with a secret key, and nothing goes to the internet.
Light & dark theme
Easy on the eyes, day or night.
Wireless Transfer comes with a crisp light theme and a calm dark theme. Switch with one click, or let it follow your Windows setting by itself. It remembers your choice.
- LightClear and bright for daytime and busy offices
- DarkGentle on tired eyes late at night
- Follow WindowsChanges by itself when your PC does

FAQ
Questions about Wireless Transfer
Is Vow Wireless Transfer free?
Yes. You can move 100 files a day between phone and PC, in both directions, each up to 500 MB, with text and links, previews on the phone and LocalSend included. There are no ads and no watermarks. Unlimited, a one-time $4.95 USD payment, removes the limits and adds whole folders, auto-sync and a shared clipboard.
Do I need to install an app on my phone?
No. Scan the QR code with the phone's camera and the page opens in its browser: Safari, Chrome, Samsung Internet or Firefox. You can add it to the home screen, and the phone remembers the PC for next time.
Does it work with iPhone?
Yes, iPhone and Android work the same way. HEIC photos and MOV videos keep the date they were taken. On iPhone, keep the page open while it sends; if it is interrupted, the transfer continues when you open the page again.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Files go straight from the phone to your PC over your own Wi-Fi. No internet connection is needed, there is no cloud and no account, and connections from outside your local network are refused.
Why can't my phone connect?
Both devices must be on the same network, and guest Wi-Fi that isolates devices blocks this. If your Wi-Fi is set to Public, Windows Firewall blocks phones until you click Allow phones in the app or switch the network to Private. The app detects this and tells you.
How is it different from AirDroid, Phone Link or LocalSend?
Unlike AirDroid there is no app or account on the phone and no ads. Microsoft Phone Link and Quick Share work only with Android, while this works with iPhone too. LocalSend needs its app on every device; Vow needs only the phone's browser, and still talks to LocalSend users.
What happens to files over the free limit?
They wait on the phone with the reason shown. If you unlock Unlimited on the PC, the phone sends them by itself straight away.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. The installer contains no ads, no toolbars and no bundled software, needs no administrator rights, and uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
