How to tether your Canon over Wi-Fi to your phone
Turn your phone into the tether: connect your Canon over Wi-Fi and CloudTether uploads every full-resolution shot to the cloud the instant you press the shutter — no laptop, no card reader.
Step by step

Enable Wi-Fi on your Canon
Or go wireless over the camera's Wi-Fi (EOS bodies broadcast their own network) or a shared network.
- 2
Connect your phone to the camera
Join the camera's Wi-Fi from your phone (or put both on the same network). On a first wireless connection, approve the link on the camera body when prompted.

Pick a destination and shoot
Choose where photos should go — Dropbox, Google Drive, a client gallery, an FTP server — and start shooting. Every full-resolution frame uploads as you fire the shutter.

FAQ
Can I tether my Canon over Wi-Fi without a computer?
Yes. CloudTether tethers your Canon to your phone over Wi-Fi and uploads every shot to the cloud — no laptop, no card reader, no desktop tethering software.
Do I need venue Wi-Fi to tether my Canon wirelessly?
No. Many Canon bodies broadcast their own Wi-Fi network that your phone joins directly, and your phone handles the upload over its own mobile or Wi-Fi connection — so you're not dependent on venue Wi-Fi.
Which Canon cameras can tether over Wi-Fi?
Most modern Canon mirrorless and DSLR bodies support Wi-Fi tethering. See the Canon hub for your specific model.
