HOW IT WORKS
Across the air in three steps
QRBeam starts a player locally on your computer. Every frame includes verification data, and the phone restores the file only after receiving it.
▶
Play your file
Run qrbeam send FILE and the animated QR opens in your browser.
Scan with iPhone
QRBeam collects, verifies, saves, and lets you share the file.
INSTALL IN SECONDS
Use the runtime you know
The Python and Node.js senders use the same QRB1 protocol and provide the same receiving experience.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your file takes no detour.
File contents and QR frames stay on your devices. QRBeam creates no account, uploads no selected files, and uses no ad tracking.
