About StreamSnatcher

Lightning‑fast, private, browser‑to‑browser file transfers powered by WebRTC—no accounts, no uploads to cloud storage, just direct, secure connections between peers.

Our mission

StreamSnatcher exists to make file transfers instant, private, and accessible to everyone by removing storage limits, signup walls, and intermediaries from the sharing process.

The goal is simple: enable seamless device‑to‑device transfers so files never touch servers, preserving speed and privacy by design.

Why StreamSnatcher

  • Direct peer‑to‑peer transfers—no server file storage, ever.
  • Real‑time speed without cloud upload/download bottlenecks.
  • No sign‑in required—start a session and share immediately.
  • Works across modern browsers with a clean, guided UI.
  • Built for privacy from the ground up with end‑to‑end encryption.

How it works

1

Create a session

Start a new session from the homepage to generate a unique share code or QR for invite‑only access.

Tip:

  • Share the code or QR securely to invite participants.
  • Keep the page open while transfers are in progress.
2

Connect peers

Browsers negotiate a direct, encrypted WebRTC connection using standard signaling and STUN for NAT traversal.

What happens:

  • Peers exchange session info via signaling.
  • STUN helps discover public endpoints for connectivity.
3

Transfer files

Files are chunked and streamed over encrypted data channels, then reassembled on the receiver’s device—no server storage in between.

Good to know:

  • Progress is visible in real time with per‑file status.
  • Transfers pause when a peer disconnects and resume on reconnection if the session persists.

Privacy by design

🔒

End‑to‑end encrypted

Transfers occur over encrypted channels so content remains private between participating devices.

🗂️

No server file storage

Files do not upload to servers and are never stored or indexed by the platform.

🧭

Minimal technical metadata

Only essential, temporary connection data is used to establish sessions and improve reliability.

⚙️

User control

Close the tab to end the session; temporary data tied to the session lifecycle is discarded automatically.

For full details on data practices, see the Privacy Policy and related legal pages in the footer or the Contact page for any questions.

Roadmap

  • Enhanced connection diagnostics and self‑serve troubleshooting.
  • Smarter chunk sizing and parallelization for high‑bandwidth networks.
  • Session presets for common scenarios (one‑to‑one, broadcast, round‑robin).
  • Optional link‑based share flows with time‑boxed access windows.

Trust and transparency

Transparency matters: legal pages in the footer explain how the service operates, what data is used to enable WebRTC, and how sessions are secured end‑to‑end.
