How encrypted temporary file transfer works, in plain language.

PairSend works best when the experience stays clear. This page explains how two devices pair, how files move through the browser, and what people can expect before they click start.

Start on one device.

Open it on the other.

Send what you need and finish cleanly.

What PairSend is built to do

PairSend is built for one clear job: helping two devices connect quickly so a file or message can move in the moment.

  • It is designed for live handoff, not for building a long-term file archive.
  • The product keeps the experience focused on start, join, send, and finish.
  • Paid plans add saved devices, higher limits, and less repeat setup.

What happens when you use it

One device starts the session. The other opens it with a code or QR. Once the connection is ready, PairSend keeps the handoff moving without extra setup.

  • Starting creates a live code and QR for the second device.
  • Joining is meant to feel simple even for non-technical users.
  • You can send files and text in the same session once both devices connect.

What happens after the handoff

PairSend is designed to finish cleanly. The session is there for the handoff, not to become another thing you have to manage later.

  • Sessions do not stay open forever.
  • Saved trusted devices can make future handoffs quicker on the same device.
  • The product stays focused on temporary transfer instead of long-lived history.

How privacy fits in

Privacy is part of the product, not an upgrade gimmick. PairSend is built so the transfer feels private, temporary, and easy to understand.

  • Files and text are protected before they leave your device.
  • Paid plans add convenience and headroom, not a different privacy promise.
  • The experience is designed to feel clear about what is happening and what is not being kept.
