Transfereko
Transfereko is a web-based file transfer service that offers two distinct transfer modes in a single application: a classic cloud transfer with shareable links, and a peer-to-peer transfer that can run over the local Wi-Fi network or remotely. According to its homepage, cloud transfers support up to 200 GB per file on paid tiers, while the free tier allows 10 GB per file with a 7-day retention window. Peer-to-peer transfers are handled via WebRTC with DTLS end-to-end encryption, allow up to 100 GB (PREMIUM) and, when devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, consume no mobile data.\n\nBeyond transfer, the service bundles lightweight media utilities directly in the browser. A compression tool shrinks MP4, JPEG, PNG, GIF and ZIP files, reportedly up to 1.5 GB using GPU acceleration without uploading the file, and up to 4 GB via FFmpeg. A converter handles DOCX, XLSX, PPTX and image files to PDF, PNG-to-JPEG and JPEG-to-PNG conversion, plus PDF merging and compression.\n\nDevice pairing is done by scanning a QR code or exchanging a connection code, and the interface supports selecting individual devices for multicast delivery or broadcasting to all detected devices on the network. The app also includes an in-app chat and a transfer history. The interface is available in English, French and Malagasy.\n\nThe operator states that the service runs on Cloudflare R2 and an edge network, with AES-256 encryption, SSL, GDPR compliance claims, a zero-knowledge architecture and a 99.9% uptime target. The site lists version 2.7.5, updated 15 September 2026. Pricing details for PRO and PREMIUM tiers are not fully published on the homepage, and no public source repository is referenced.

Problem solved
File sharing over the internet typically forces a choice between convenience and privacy: cloud upload services are easy but route data through third-party servers, while direct device-to-device tools can be harder to use or lack extras such as format conversion. Transfereko addresses this by offering both a cloud transfer mode with shareable links and an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC peer-to-peer mode in one app, and by bundling video/image compression and PDF conversion so users do not need separate tools.
Use cases
- Sending large files to a colleague or client via a cloud link without setting up an account-based workflow
- Transferring large files directly between two devices on the same Wi-Fi network without using mobile data or an internet round trip
- Sending a file simultaneously to several devices on the same network using multicast or broadcast
- Compressing an MP4 video or JPEG/PNG image before sharing it to meet size limits
- Converting Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents to PDF for distribution
- Merging or compressing PDF files in the browser
- Exchanging short text messages or notes between paired devices alongside file transfers
- Quick device pairing via QR code or connection code for ad-hoc transfers between phone and computer
