About QR Transfer

QR Transfer turns a block of text into a QR code you can scan from another device's camera. It's built for the moment two devices can't share a clipboard — a locked-down work laptop and your phone, a kiosk and a tablet, two machines on different networks. Nothing is uploaded: the text only ever exists as pixels on your screen.

Raw vs Compressed. Raw mode encodes your text as a plain QR code that any scanner app can read, with room for about 900 characters. Compressed mode runs the text through lz-string first, so a single code can carry roughly 8 KB — and beyond that it switches to an animated multi-frame QR (up to ~50 KB) that the Siazly scanner reassembles automatically.

Text and files. Paste text, or upload any file — a PDF, image, spreadsheet, ZIP, anything. Small text becomes a single QR; larger text and files are compressed, split into a looping sequence of QR frames and shown at a speed you choose. On the receiving device, open this same page, switch to Scan, hold the camera on the looping code until every frame is collected, then tap Done and pick a format to rebuild the exact original file.

Privacy. Everything runs in your browser. There is no server, no account and no tracking — the QR code is the only thing that leaves your device, and only to the camera you point at it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much text can I transfer?
In Compressed mode a single QR holds about 8 KB; larger text (up to ~50 KB, roughly 6,000+ words) is sent as an animated multi-frame QR that the Siazly scanner reassembles automatically. In Raw mode, up to about 900 characters.
Does this work with any QR scanner app?
Raw mode works with any QR scanner. Compressed mode is designed for the siazly.com scanner only.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser. The text never leaves your device except as a visual QR code.
Can I send a PDF or other file?
Yes — upload any file (PDF, image, spreadsheet, ZIP, and so on). It is compressed and sent as a looping sequence of QR frames; on the receiving device, hold the camera on the code until every frame is collected, then choose a format to download the exact original file.
