HOW TO USE

Set up once, use in 3 steps

After that, sending a URL from your phone takes one tap.

1

Install the Chrome extension

Add QR Send to Chrome on your PC. Click the toolbar icon and your own personal QR code appears.

2

Scan the QR with your phone

Point your iPhone or Android camera at the code, open the page, and add it to your home screen. From now on, just tap the icon.

3

Send URLs with one tap

Copy a URL on your phone, open the home-screen icon, and tap send. It opens on your PC's Chrome within seconds (up to about 30 seconds depending on conditions).

WHY QR SEND

Nothing extra. That's the whole point.

No account needed

No Google account, no email address. Scan a QR code and your devices are paired. There's no sign-up of any kind.

Arrives instantly

Tap send and the page opens on your PC's Chrome within seconds (up to about 30 seconds depending on conditions). A simple relay, checked in order and delivered.

Built to not keep history

URLs are held only briefly on the way to your PC and deleted automatically once delivered. No personal data or browsing history is ever collected.

Free, no usage limits iOS Shortcuts support Windows / Mac / Linux Android supported Zero setup, no port forwarding
USE CASES

Solve "I'll read this on my PC later" on the spot

Commuting

Pick up an article you started on the train, right where you left off on your PC. A "read later" bookmark that actually works.

Shopping

Compare a product you found on your phone on your PC's bigger screen. Reviews are easier to read there too.

Work & research

Open a reference page you found on the go, right on your PC while writing up notes. Copy-paste is instant there.

Video & entertainment

Discover a video on your phone, watch it on the big screen. Discover on mobile, watch on your PC.

Messaging & social

Got a link in a chat app and want it on your PC? One tap instead of copy-pasting between apps.

Studying

Open study material on your PC and take notes as you go. A real keyboard is faster than a phone screen.

HOW IT WORKS

How QR Send works

Pairing with QR Send just means scanning the QR code your PC's extension shows on screen. That code contains a long, random identifier for your PC. Only whoever scans that specific code can ever learn it, so in practice there's no risk of a message going to the wrong device or a third party — even without an account or password.

Sent URLs, text, and photos are encrypted over HTTPS and held briefly on a relay server, then deleted automatically as soon as your PC's extension picks them up. Anything never picked up is deleted within 24 hours at the latest, so nothing piles up on the server. We never collect personal information like your name or email address (see our privacy policy).

Because the only QR code you ever scan is the one shown live on your own PC's screen, this isn't the same risk profile as a printed QR code someone could tamper with in public.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes, completely free. Installing the extension and sending URLs both cost nothing — no subscription, no usage limits, no ad-click requirements.

URLs are held only temporarily (up to 24 hours) on the way to your PC and deleted automatically once delivered. Delivery uses a long random identifier that only someone who scanned your QR code would know, so in practice a third party can't intercept it.

Yes — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, whatever you're using. Just copy the URL and paste it into the QR Send page.

Yes. Your phone can be iPhone or Android, and your PC can run Windows, Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS — anywhere Chrome runs.

Install the extension and show the QR code on each PC, then scan each one and save it as a separate home-screen icon — that lets you choose which PC to send to.

It uses standard HTTPS traffic, so it works in most firewall environments. Some corporate network policies may restrict it — check with your IT department if in doubt.

Remove the extension from Chrome's extension page and long-press to delete the icon on your phone. There's no account, so there's nothing to cancel.

Yes. Besides URLs, you can send quick notes, copied text, or a photo taken on your phone. URLs open automatically in a new tab on your PC; text and photos land in the extension's timeline.

No — you only scan the QR code once, during initial pairing. After that, just open the home-screen page you saved and paste, no scanning needed.

Yes. From the extension's timeline you can send to a paired phone or another PC (v1.1+). For example, send an article you found on your PC to your phone before heading out.

Chrome's built-in "Send to your devices" requires both sides to be signed into Chrome with the same Google account. QR Send needs no account or login at all, and your phone can use any browser, not just Chrome. See our detailed comparison in Chrome "Send to Your Devices" Not Working: Every Cause & Fix.

No. Your phone just opens a page in its browser — no app install required. The only thing you install is the Chrome extension on your PC.

Check camera permission, your network connection, and the extension's status, in that order — that resolves most cases. See our step-by-step setup guide if something isn't working.

Yes, as long as your phone has an internet connection over mobile data. Your phone and PC don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network — you can send from your phone out and about to your PC at home.

FROM THE DEVELOPER

From the developer

QR Send was built by an independent developer with 19 years in software testing, to solve my own problem: pages I found on my phone kept ending up as a pile of self-addressed messages I'd never open on my PC. Rather than piling on features, the focus is making the one thing — sending a URL — work reliably every single time.

Every release goes through automated end-to-end tests plus a manual send/receive check on real devices. For the background and our content policy, see about; for full setup details, see the setup guide.

Try it now

Install the Chrome extension and scan the QR code it shows you with your phone. Setup takes under 5 minutes.
