Photo Transfer App
Photo Transfer App is a macOS app for moving photos and videos wirelessly between a Mac, phones, tablets, and web browsers on the same network.
What is Photo Transfer App?
Photo Transfer App is a photo and video transfer app for macOS that helps users move media between a Mac and mobile devices without using cables. It is designed for people who want to copy photos or videos between iPhone, iPad, Android devices, and computers over local Wi‑Fi. Common uses include importing pictures from a phone to a Mac, sending media from a Mac to a phone, and moving files when AirDrop or a USB connection is not the preferred workflow. The Mac version supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and it can work alongside the mobile apps or through a browser-based transfer workflow on other devices. Photo Transfer App also offers options for choosing where files are saved and supports common image and video formats for everyday photo management.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app’s access to photos, videos, local network connections, and file-saving locations is consistent with its purpose of transferring media between devices. Using it may involve granting access to your photo library or selected folders so it can read or save files. That is normal for this kind of app, but you should still share only the media you intend to transfer and use trusted local networks when moving personal photos or videos.
Recommendation: Keep Photo Transfer App if you use it to move photos or videos between your Mac and other devices. If you no longer use that workflow, you can remove it like other Mac apps; doing so will simply stop its transfer features until you reinstall it.
