Even within Apple's world, moving large files from iPhone to Mac can stall on iCloud syncing or cables. ShareBeam gives you a fast, direct alternative: connect your iPhone and Mac in the browser over the same Wi-Fi and send files instantly, with no upload wait and no size limit.
On iPhone, open ShareBeam and create a room.
On Mac, join using the QR code or 6-digit code.
Drag and drop the files, photos, or folders you want to send.
Files move directly between the devices — fast and private.
Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi? For the fastest, fully local transfer, yes — keep both iPhone and Mac on the same network.
Will my photos lose quality? No. Unlike messaging apps, ShareBeam sends the original file untouched, so photos and videos arrive at full quality.
Is it really free? Yes, ShareBeam is completely free with no limits and no sign-up. Read more in our FAQ.
