What Is WebRTC?
The open standard that makes browser‑to‑browser file transfer possible
WebRTC (Web Real‑Time Communication) is an open‑source framework maintained by the W3C and IETF that lets browsers exchange data directly—no plugins, no installs, and no intermediate servers handling your files. Originally designed for voice and video calls, WebRTC's data‑channel API is equally powerful for transferring arbitrary binary data such as documents, images, and videos at full network speed.
How StreamSnatcher Uses WebRTC
When you start a session, StreamSnatcher's signaling server helps the two browsers discover each other by exchanging small SDP (Session Description Protocol) messages and ICE candidates. Once connectivity is established, the signaling server steps aside and all file data flows through a peer‑to‑peer data channel secured with DTLS 1.2+ encryption. Because bytes travel directly between devices, transfer speeds are limited only by your network connection—not by a cloud provider's bandwidth caps.
NAT Traversal: Reaching Peers Behind Firewalls
Most devices sit behind NATs or firewalls that block inbound connections. WebRTC overcomes this using the ICE framework, which gathers connection candidates via STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) servers. If a direct path cannot be found—for example when both peers are behind symmetric NATs—traffic is relayed through a TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) server. Even relayed transfers remain encrypted end‑to‑end, so the relay never sees the plaintext contents of your files.
Why This Matters for Privacy
Traditional file‑sharing services upload your data to a central server, where it may be scanned, indexed, or stored indefinitely. With WebRTC, your files never leave the direct path between your browser and your peer's browser. StreamSnatcher's server facilitates the initial handshake but never receives, stores, or has access to the transferred content. This architecture means there is nothing to breach, subpoena, or accidentally leak—privacy is guaranteed by design, not by policy.

Explore more on the Use Cases page.
Privacy and security
Stream directly between devices over encrypted channels—no file storage, no indexing, and minimal technical metadata.
Encrypted in transit
Transfers use secure data channels so contents remain private between participating browsers.
No server storage
Files never upload to servers; when the session ends, the platform retains nothing to fetch or erase.
Minimal metadata
Only essential, short‑lived session data is used to establish connectivity and improve reliability.

Quick answers
Common questions about speed, reliability, compatibility, and getting the best results across devices and networks.
How fast is it?
Throughput depends on peer bandwidth and device performance; direct routes are fastest, relays may be slower.
Is it secure?
Transfers are encrypted and device‑to‑device; the platform does not store or inspect file contents.
Which browsers work?
Modern browsers with WebRTC support; keep them updated and avoid overly restrictive network policies.
