I love LocalSend for quick transfers between your own devices, just werks on every OS.

One limitation of iOS is the inability to use Bluetooth to transfer an image/video file to a Bluetooth receiver such as Windows. The Apple documentation requires a wired connection. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/120267

If LocalSend is running on iOS and Windows does LocalSend have the ability to send photos?

It should work, though I haven't actually tried it. That's not a limitation of iOS, just Apple's own syncing app/protocol. LocalSend is basically an http client/server with network device discovery, as far as I know.

Yes, I use it all the time.

Both devices need to be on the same network (LAN / WiFi), however. LocalSend does not use Bluetooth.
