LightDrop
Transfer small files using only a screen and a camera — no pairing, Wi‑Fi, or cloud upload.
What is LightDrop?
LightDrop is a browser-based screen-to-camera transfer tool for small files and text. One device displays a rapid stream of QR-code frames, and another device captures them through its camera until the file is rebuilt and verified locally with a SHA-256 hash. It requires no pairing, no shared Wi-Fi, no cloud upload, no account, and no installation, and it can work offline after the first visit. It is designed for text, links, JSON, configs, tickets, and small images rather than large media files.
