How hyperdrop works

Direct, encrypted file transfer between browsers. No uploads, no cloud, no middleman.

Your files, your control

Traditional services upload your files to their servers. We don't.

Built on WebRTC

WebRTC is built into every modern browser—it's the same technology that powers video calls in Google Meet and Discord. Our server only helps devices find each other (signaling), then steps aside. Your files never pass through us.
