PhotosMove: Photo Transfer

About this app

PhotosMove moves your photos and videos from your phone to your computer — byte-for-byte, over your local Wi-Fi. No cloud, no account, no PC software to install.

WHY PHOTOSMOVE
Most "transfer" apps compress, transcode, or route your memories through a cloud server. PhotosMove is different: files are copied exactly as they are, preserving original quality, metadata, and folder structure. Whether you call it migrating, backing up, or exporting — if you want a lossless, offline copy, PhotosMove does it in minutes — no cables, no uploads. Skip the USB cable and back up photos to PC without Google Photos compression or cloud subscriptions.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open PhotosMove on your phone — it starts a local server and shows an address and a PIN code.
2. Open that address in any browser on your computer (Chrome or Edge on Windows, Mac, or Linux).
3. Enter the PIN, pick your albums, and download. Everything is packaged as a standard ZIP and streamed straight to disk.
