Photos, Live Photos, videos and files —
moved without losing a single byte.
Over your own Wi‑Fi or a direct device link, with no account and no server in between. iPhone Live Photos and Android Motion Photos arrive as real moving photos on the other side. Every file is verified when the transfer ends.

Made for
Switching iPhone ↔ Android
Bring thousands of Live/Motion Photos with their motion intact. No messenger compression, no stills-only fallback.
Originals for family & friends
Trip photos at full quality, with capture time, location and camera info preserved.
Footage to your editing device
4K video and RAW files without cables. Resume if interrupted, verify when done.
For people without the app
Encrypted links with expiry and PIN. Recipients download straight from the browser.
How it works
- Tap Receive on the receiving device: a 6‑digit code and a QR appear.
- On the sending device, pick a nearby device, scan the QR, or type the code.
- If both screens show the same verification code, the connection is safe. Transfers are end‑to‑end encrypted.
- When done, each file's fingerprint is compared. If a single bit differs, you'll know.
Receive on PC
Open the fixed web receive page and enter the sending app's PC transfer PIN or scan its QR. No per-file URL sharing.
Keep the app and browser open and connected to the internet. They need not share Wi-Fi. Files are not stored in the cloud; restricted networks may still prevent a connection.
In Intact test build 24 or later, select files, then Send to PC browser. A regular Receive PIN is not a browser download PIN. Sending from PC is not enabled yet.
It does not resend what you already have
When you move to a new phone or send the same album again, files the receiver already holds are not transferred at all. Pick 3,000 photos and only the new ones go. What does go is still verified one by one.
The receiving device decides what to skip. The list it uses for that never leaves that device and never reaches our servers. You can turn it off in settings.
You do not have to be on the same network
You can also send to someone far away without parking the files on a server. Scan the QR the receiver shows, or open the connection link they send you, and the two devices connect on the spot.
| Situation | How it connects | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Same Wi‑Fi | Straight between the devices (chosen automatically) | Fastest — as fast as your router |
| Different networks | Directly between the devices | Depends on both internet connections |
| Networks that block direct links | Relayed, still encrypted | Slowest — last resort |
The app tries these in order by itself and shows you which route it actually used. Whichever route it takes, only the two devices can read the contents — even when relayed, only ciphertext passes through, and the key lives in the connection link.
Share QR codes, PINs and connection links only with your intended recipient. Connection details are held temporarily while devices find each other, and the receiving device approves the transfer.
Live Photo ↔ Motion Photo
iPhone Live Photos and Android Motion Photos capture the same idea (a still plus a short clip) in different containers. Intact moves both parts exactly as they are and rebuilds the container the receiving Photos app understands. Image and video data are never re‑encoded.
| From | To | Result |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone Live Photo (JPEG) | Android | Motion Photo — plays in Gallery · lossless |
| iPhone Live Photo (HEIC) | Android | HEIC + video pair (lossless), or a Motion Photo if you choose JPEG conversion |
| Android Motion Photo | iPhone | Live Photo — press and hold in Photos · lossless |
| Same platform | Same platform | Original bytes · lossless |
Motion Photo playback depends on the receiving gallery app (Google Photos, Samsung Gallery, …). Some apps show imported Motion Photos as stills; the file still contains the full clip.

On desktop — The Mac and Windows apps are file‑ and folder‑centric: pick files or drop them onto the window, and received files land in Downloads/Intact. Live/Motion Photos travel as files (lossless); adding them to a gallery happens on the phone. Windows has no in‑app purchase, so Pro is bought on iPhone, Android or Mac. Connecting to a nearby device without Wi‑Fi is phone‑only (cross‑network transfers work on desktop too).
Limits — Direct link without Wi‑Fi requires Google Play services on Android and may be unavailable on some devices or in some countries. Motion Photo playback varies by gallery app. Bundling a HEIC Live Photo into an Android Motion Photo needs JPEG conversion (lossy), so the default is a lossless pair. Speed depends on your router (roughly 20–60 MB/s on typical home Wi‑Fi 5). Links: 2 GB free / 20 GB Pro.
Edit what you received with FileX
Document editing and conversion — FileX, from the same team
Open the PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files or photos you moved with Intact in FileX to edit, merge or convert them to PDF and other formats. Use it in a browser on your computer with nothing to install, or as an app on your phone. Core features are free.
Privacy
No account. Nearby transfers travel only between the two devices and never touch our servers. Shared links are encrypted on your device before upload, and the key lives only in the link — we cannot read the contents. See the privacy policy.
