Transfer photos from phone to laptop
Moving photos off your phone usually means a cable, an app install, or waiting on a cloud upload. LocalBeam sends them straight from your phone's browser to your laptop over WiFi, at full resolution, with no size limit.
1. Connect your phone and laptop to the same WiFi
Both devices need to be on the same WiFi network so they can discover each other.
2. Open localbeam.app on both devices
Use your phone or laptop browser - no app to install on either device.
3. Select your laptop from the device list on your phone
LocalBeam lists nearby devices by name automatically.
4. Pick your photos or files and send
Files transfer directly to your laptop over WiFi - no cable, no cloud upload, no size limit.
Same idea works in reverse for sending files from your laptop to your phone, or between any two devices on your network. See the full how it works breakdown.
