Transfer files from iPhone 13 to an Android phone without a cable

Move photos, videos and documents from your iPhone 13 to an Android phone using two browsers and a QR code. No cable, no app install, no account.

How to do it

  1. Open sparedisk.com in Chrome on an Android phone, and in Safari on the iPhone 13.
  2. On the first device, choose Show QR. Scan it with the other device.
  3. Type the reply code shown on the second device into the first.
  4. Choose files on the iPhone 13 and send them.

About the iPhone 13's port

The iPhone 13 has a Lightning port, so a USB-C flash drive won't plug in. You'd need a Lightning drive or an adapter.

Why browser pairing for Android phone

Sharing between an iPhone and an Android phone depends on the exact pair of devices. A browser pairing works on any pair with a modern browser.

Try it with the two devices you have

Open SpareDisk on both, scan the QR code, type the reply code, and send. Free to start, no account.

Questions

Do I need to install anything on an Android phone?

No. Open SpareDisk in Chrome.

Is the transfer limited by the iPhone 13's port?

Wireless transfer doesn't use the port. Speed depends on your Wi-Fi and the files.
