Receive JPEGs over USB, Wi-Fi, or FTP. Supported Canon, Sony, Nikon, and FUJIFILM cameras shoot tethered wirelessly over your Wi-Fi router.
TetherDrop is a focused tethered shooting app for receiving JPEG images from cameras on iPhone and iPad.
External camera connection and automatic JPEG receiving over USB-C, Wi-Fi (PTP/IP), or FTP require an active subscription.
Importing photos from your library, viewing, rating, color tagging, grid selection, filtering, sharing through the iOS share sheet (including AirDrop), and saving to Photos are available without a subscription.

Note:
TetherDrop is JPEG-only. It does not save RAW files or videos. In RAW+JPEG mode, supported cameras receive the JPEG files only.
External camera connection and automatic JPEG receiving require an active subscription. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled in the App Store at any time. Sharing features, including AirDrop, are not paywalled.
USB connections require a data-capable cable. If the camera does not connect, check the camera connection mode, network settings, memory card, and cable.

Improved connections with Nikon cameras.
- Added Wi-Fi via router: with the camera's "Connect to smart device" > "Wi-Fi connection (station mode)", the camera and your iPhone/iPad can share the same Wi-Fi router. Tap "Find Nikon" on the connection screen; the first time, confirm with OK on the camera.
- Playback and menu operation on the camera now keep working while connected over USB.
- Fixed a case where a direct Wi-Fi connection to the camera could fail between joining the camera's Wi-Fi and returning to TetherDrop.
- Fixed an issue where the same camera could be connected twice, causing the connection to drop and reconnect repeatedly.
- Updated the Nikon connection guide for Wi-Fi via router and USB.
