ScanUpload
Zap files from your phone to an app quickly and efficiently
Your users' files live on their phones. Your app lives on a desktop browser. The gap between them is where conversions die — emailing yourself, sharing to cloud drives, plugging in cables. ScanUpload closes that gap with a single scan. Display a QR code, your user scans it, and their phone becomes a direct upload channel into your application, with live progress updates streamed back in real time. It's framework-agnostic, drop-in. Ten minutes of integration. Zero user friction.
"I watched someone list an item on Facebook Marketplace. They didn't email themselves photos, they didn't plug in a cable, they didn't dig through cloud folders. They scanned a QR code, their phone camera opened the Facebook app, they took the photos, and the pictures appeared on the desktop listing as if they'd been there all along. It was completely invisible. That was the moment."*
Mobile devices are where the files live. The camera, the screenshots, the downloads folder, the WhatsApp attachments — that's where real content gets created. But the websites that need those files still live on a desktop screen, and the bridge between the two has always been broken.
Email yourself. AirDrop. USB cable. Upload to a cloud drive and share a link. Every one of those is a detour, and every detour is a place where a user gives up.
Facebook had solved it. Almost nobody else had. So the question became: **why should every product that needs a file from a phone have to build this themselves?**
ScanUpload was born from that question. Not as a consumer app — as *infrastructure*. A product that any SaaS, portal, or web application can drop in so that accepting a file from a mobile device becomes the easiest part of their workflow instead of the hardest.
The goal was never to be the place where files live. It was to make handing a file from a phone to a web app so effortless that the user never thinks about it at all.
