Install and get started.

Wasl illustrated guide: Install and get started on Windows, step by step.

Download Wasl for Windows ↗

Download and install

  1. Use 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11. Leave enough storage for the app and your exported files.
  2. Get Wasl for Windows from this website. Finish any active transfers and close an older Wasl window before installing.
  3. Open WaslTransfer-Setup.exe. Follow the graphical setup wizard, read the terms and privacy notice, and accept if you agree.
  4. Finish setup and open Wasl Transfer from the desktop or Start menu. No command-line installation is needed.
  5. Use the language button at the top of the app. Keep your existing copies until you verify a transfer.
This release has no Windows publisher-signing certificate, so an unknown-publisher warning may appear. Download only from our website. If security software reports a threat, stop and contact support; do not disable protection.

Request activation from the home screen

  1. Choose “Request activation now”. Enter your name and email, then choose the term and phone allowance shown in the app.
  2. Submit the request and keep Wasl online. Its status shows that approval is pending.
  3. Administrator approval activates the app automatically while online. You do not need to receive and manually enter a code.
  4. Use “I have an activation key” only if you already have an issued key. Review the subscription term and status in license management.

The limited-time free offer follows the terms shown on the product and request pages. A phone allowance is different from the number of computers permitted to use the license.

Connect an iPhone or Android phone

  1. Use a USB cable that supports data. Unlock the phone and connect it directly to the computer.
  2. On iPhone, approve “Trust This Computer” when requested. If device details are missing, use Wasl’s iPhone connection setup to check required components.
  3. On Android, choose “File transfer” in the phone’s USB notification. USB debugging is not needed for ordinary file transfer.
  4. Open “My devices”, refresh if needed, and choose your phone. The device name and picture depend on available phone information. The picture is a preview, not live screen mirroring.
