About PhotonDrop: File Transfer

PhotonDrop is the next-generation, 100% air-gapped optical file transfer application designed for ultimate privacy and speed. Transfer photos, videos, confidential documents, and archives between devices using animated high-speed QR streams — zero Wi-Fi, zero Bluetooth, zero cellular data, and zero cloud servers required. WHY PHOTONDROP? • 100% Air-Gapped & Offline: Your data never touches any network, antenna, or external server. • High-Speed Fountain Code: Powered by Luby Transform (LT) erasure coding, packets are reconstructed in real-time even with camera movement or glare. • End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): Optional AES-256 GCM encryption with custom PIN/Passphrase. Even if someone records the screen, they cannot decrypt the content without the key. • Turbo 2×2 Multi-Stream: Transmit 4 parallel QR codes simultaneously to reach speeds of up to 1-2 MB/s. • Cross-Platform & Universal: Send and receive any file type (PDF, MP4, JPG, ZIP, TXT) across modern smartphones and tablets. • 10 Built-in Languages: Full instant localization in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic (with RTL support). • Zero Telemetry: No analytics, no tracking, no cookies, no permissions other than camera for optical scanning. HOW IT WORKS: 1. SENDER: Select any file or paste text. PhotonDrop converts the data into an animated optical fountain stream. 2. RECEIVER: Point the camera at the sender's screen. The optical sensor captures and reassembles the data chunks in real time. 3. DONE: Save directly to your Photos or Files app with one tap. PHOTONDROP PRO: Upgrade to PhotonDrop PRO for unlimited file sizes, 60 FPS turbo transmission, 2×2 parallel multi-grid, and military-grade AES-256 E2EE.
