Overview, download Supported Cameras Verified mobile devices How to use FAQ

A smartphone and tablet application designed to help professionals by speeding up the transfer of still images.
Fast and efficient asset delivery using "FTP Background Transfer," "Quick Tagging and Captioning."

If you have updated to Transfer & Tagging 2.2 (Android only)

To manage history information, starting with Ver. 2.2 the location where images are stored has been moved from the DCIM folder to the internal storage area of the app. To view images imported by Ver. 2.1 or earlier in Ver. 2.2, you will first need to move the images from the DCIM folder to the internal storage area.

A message with the title [Move images] appears the first time the app is launched following the update. Select [Move].

If you did not move the images at that time, or if it was not possible to move the images due to insufficient storage or some other reason, you can move the images later by selecting [Setting] → [Import].

To edit imported images in another app, use the share function.

If you are using iOS 16.1 or 16.0

It is not possible to import JPEG images when using Transfer & Tagging add-on Ver. 1.6 on iOS 16.1. To import JPEG images, update to Transfer & Tagging add-on 1.7 or later.
Also note that no thumbnails are displayed of HEIF images imported on iOS 16.0. (This has no effect on the original images.) This issue can be corrected by updating to iOS 16.1.

Import MAC Address

The Import MAC Address function of the Transfer & Tagging is useful when you need to supply the MAC address of the camera you are using to a third party, such as the sponsor when taking photos at a large-scale event, or the like. You can display a QR code of the MAC address on the camera and then scan it into the Transfer & Tagging.
Refer to <Import MAC Address> for supported cameras and instructions for using the function.
