Blip is a free file transfer app that lets you quickly and easily send large files from your Mac or iPhone. Here are some of the key benefits:
1. Speed
Blip uses a direct transfer method rather than uploading to the cloud first. This makes it significantly faster than traditional services like Dropbox or Google Drive. Files transfer at speeds up to 1 Gbps.
2. Reliability
Blip auto-resumes interrupted transfers and works across devices, regardless of location. So you can reliably send files between your iPhone and Mac, even over long distances.
3. No Size Limits
Send files of any size with Blip — no arbitrary limits. Transfer massive 100GB video projects without issue.
4. Privacy
Your files are encrypted in transit and never stored on Blip's servers. You send directly to chosen recipients rather than sharing insecure links.
5. Easy to Use
The setup takes seconds. The clean interface makes sending files intuitive. It's perfect for both techies and non-techies alike.
FAQ
How is Blip different to AirDrop or Nearby Share?
Apple’s “AirDrop” and Google’s “Nearby Share” can be really handy. However they have some important limitations: they aren’t compatible with each other, and require devices to be physically nearby. They are also unreliable when transferring very large files, and will often lose your progress.
Blip doesn’t need devices to be nearby, so it’s much more reliable. Blip works wherever your internet connected devices are in the world, and works regardless of what kind of device you own. You can transfer from Android to Mac, Windows to iPhone, and much more.
Can Blip send Final Cut Pro projects?
Yes! Unlike many other services, Blip can send Final Cut Pro .fcpbundle files without needing to zip them first.
.fcpbundle files are technically folders, and Blip fully preserves folder structures and any links within.
And of course, Blip works regardless of the tool you use, be it Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, or something else entirely.
