How to send files from your phone to a computer

  1. Open Send to computer

    In BharatScanner, search Tools for Send to computer, or choose Computer when you share a document.

  2. Join the same Wi-Fi

    Connect the computer to the same Wi-Fi as the phone, or to the phone's hotspot. No internet needed.

  3. Type the address

    On the computer, open a browser (Chrome, Edge…) and type the address the phone shows. The phone asks before it lets a computer in.

  4. Download, print or send back

    Your documents appear in the browser. Download a PDF, its pages as JPG, or everything at once, print from the browser, or drop images and PDFs, up to 50 MB each, to send them to the phone.

  5. Leave when you're done

    Files go straight from your phone over your own Wi-Fi, never through the internet. Sharing stops when you leave the screen, or after 10 minutes unused.

Not on the same Wi-Fi?

  • Over the internet: open bharatscanner.in/send on the computer and scan its code with the phone. Your PDFs are encrypted on the phone, so only that browser can open them, and they're deleted once downloaded, or after 15 minutes.
  • Share as a link: anyone can open it in a browser with a 6-digit code you tell them, for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need a cable or an app on the computer?

Neither. Any browser works, such as Chrome or Edge.

Not over Wi-Fi: they go straight from your phone to the computer. Over the internet, they're encrypted on your phone first, and deleted from our storage as soon as they arrive.

Can I send files from the computer to the phone?

Yes, over Wi-Fi: drop images or PDFs on the page and they arrive in BharatScanner.
