Why it exists

Fast and lossless. Finally both.

Every other option makes you choose. AirDrop is lossless but slow and flaky. USB tools are fast but dump read-only files you can't edit. PhotoBridge is the only one that's wired-fast and lands originals as real, editable photos.

AirDrop

Lossless, but slow

Drops the Wi-Fi link mid-transfer on big RAW batches. Minutes per shoot, unpredictable.

iMazing / USB

Fast, but read-only

Fast over cable, but files land in the locked "From My Mac" album — not editable, not favoritable.

PhotoBridge

Fast + editable

USB-C speed, original bytes, landing straight in Recently Added — ready to edit, favorite, and post.

What you get

Built for people who care about the file.

Lossless originals

Original bytes, never re-encoded. JPEG, HEIC, RAW, MOV and MP4 pass through untouched.

USB-C speed

Wired transfer over the cable — live throughput around 31 MB/s, far past AirDrop's flaky Wi-Fi.

Lands in Recently Added

Real, editable, favoritable library assets — not the read-only "From My Mac" container other tools leave you.

EXIF preserved

Capture date and GPS travel inside the file, so your sort order and timeline stay correct.

No cloud, no subscription

Direct device-to-device. Nothing uploaded, nothing to pay every month. It just moves your photos.

Optional album

Drop a whole batch straight into a named album on import — sorted before you even open Photos.

Get the shot off your camera and onto your phone.

Fast. Lossless. No subscription.
