Frequently Asked Questions
PhotoBridge is built for the everyday job of moving phone photos into a Mac folder without a cable, cloud sync, or account setup.
How do I transfer iPhone photos to a Mac without a cable?
Open PhotoBridge on your Mac, choose the destination folder, scan the QR code with your iPhone, then select photos in the phone browser and upload them directly to that Mac folder.
Can Android phones upload photos to a Mac with PhotoBridge?
Yes. PhotoBridge works from iPhone and Android browsers, so an Android phone can scan the QR code and send photos to the selected folder on your Mac.
Can I choose which Mac folder receives the photos?
Yes. The Mac app lets you pick the destination folder first, so uploads land where you already organize photo projects, albums, or reference images.
Does PhotoBridge upload my photos to the cloud?
No. The product is designed around direct transfer between your phone browser and your Mac, without requiring cloud sync or an account.
How is PhotoBridge different from AirDrop?
AirDrop is useful for quick sharing. PhotoBridge focuses on photo organization: you choose the destination folder before uploading, which helps avoid files landing in the wrong place.
Do I need to install an app on my phone?
No phone app is required. The phone side opens in a browser after scanning the QR code shown by the Mac app.
