HeftySend for iPhone
iOS 15.1 or later · Free
Receiving needs no account. Sign in to see and manage the transfers you have sent.
Send big files straight from your phone
Pick the files, choose a link or an email, add the protection you want and send. Sign in and the app also keeps track of everything you have sent.
Send from your iPhone
Pick the files you want to send and HeftySend uploads them and gives you a link to share. Prefer email? Add your recipient's address and the app sends the link for you. A free transfer needs no account.
Protection before you send
Set a password, a message for your recipient, an expiry date, or limits on how many times and on how many devices the link opens.
Protected view
Let recipients watch and read in the browser without downloading anything, with an optional watermark over the files.
Manage every transfer
Sign in to see what you have sent, share a link again, change a transfer's name, message, password, expiry or protected view, check its views and downloads, and delete it when you are done.
Open the links you are sent
Paste a HeftySend link and the transfer opens in the app. Save the files you need to your iPhone, preview them, and pass them on to other apps. No account needed.
Open any HeftySend link
Paste the link you were sent, or just its code, and the transfer opens in the app. Password-protected and view-only transfers ask for the password right there.
Save files to your phone
Download the files you need and they stay in the Saved tab on your iPhone, ready to open again whenever you want them.
Preview on your phone
Play videos and audio, view images and read PDFs inside the app, without another viewer.
Send them on
Use the share sheet to save a file to the Files app or open it in another app.
Frequently asked questions
Is the iPhone app free?
Yes. HeftySend for iPhone is free on the App Store. Free transfers work without an account; sign in and your transfers use your plan, the same as on the website.
Do I need a HeftySend account?
Not to receive. Paste any HeftySend link and download the files without signing in. You can also send a free transfer without an account. Sign in from the Account tab to see and manage the transfers you have sent.
Which iPhones does it run on?
Any iPhone on iOS 15.1 or later. The app is designed for iPhone; there is no iPad version yet.
Is it the same account as the website and the desktop app?
Yes. Sign in with your HeftySend account and the transfers you send from your iPhone sit alongside the ones you sent from the website or the desktop app.
Does it work with password-protected and view-only transfers?
Yes. Enter the password the sender gave you. View-only transfers open in protected view, so you can watch and read without downloading.
Where do downloaded files go?
Into the Saved tab on your iPhone. From there you can preview a file, pass it on with the share sheet (for example to save it in the Files app) or delete it from your phone.
Big files, from your pocket
Install the app once. Send from your iPhone, open the links you are sent and keep an eye on every transfer. On a computer? There is a free desktop app for Mac and Windows too.
