DropToPC: Transfer iPhone Photos to Windows PC Wirelessly Without USB Cable or iTunes

A Simpler Way to Transfer iPhone Photos to Windows PC

Transferring photos and videos from an iPhone to a Windows PC doesn't have to involve a USB cable or iTunes.

DropToPC provides a wireless solution that allows users to transfer photos and videos from their iPhone to a Windows computer using QR-code pairing.

Users can connect their devices and transfer files without physically plugging their iPhone into their PC.

No account creation, registration, or sign-in is required. Simply install DropToPC on both devices, scan the QR code, and start transferring.

Designed for Windows 10 and Windows 11, DropToPC aims to make everyday photo and video transfers more convenient for iPhone and Windows users.

How It Works in 3 Simple Steps

Getting started with DropToPC is straightforward. No account or registration is needed.

Step 1: Install DropToPC on Both Devices

Search for DropToPC in the App Store on your iPhone and install the app. On your Windows PC, download and install the Windows version from the official website:

Step 2: Scan the QR Code

Use the DropToPC app on your iPhone to scan the QR code displayed on your Windows PC and connect the two devices.

Step 3: Select and Transfer Photos and Videos

Tap "Send to PC" on your iPhone, choose the photos or videos you want to transfer, and keep DropToPC open while the transfer is running.

When you see "Sent," your transfer is complete.

That's it. No account registration, no sign-in, no USB cable, no iTunes, and no complicated setup.

Transfer Files Without USB Cable or iTunes

DropToPC supports both local network and cross-network transfers.

Direct Local Network Transfers — No Internet Required

When the iPhone and Windows PC are connected to the same local network, DropToPC transfers photos and videos directly between the two devices.

The transfer does not go through the internet or require cloud storage.

Users can enjoy high-speed local transfers while keeping their files within their local network.

Our Recommendation: Use Your Home or Office Network for the Best Experience

For the fastest transfer speeds at no cost, we recommend using DropToPC at home or in the office, with your iPhone and Windows PC connected to the same local network.

For example, your iPhone can connect through Wi-Fi while your Windows PC is connected to the same home or office network.

Local network transfers are completely free and offer the fastest transfer speeds available with DropToPC. Files are sent directly between your devices without going through the internet.

This is the recommended way to enjoy fast, convenient, and free photo and video transfers.

Secure Cross-Network Transfers

DropToPC also supports transfers when the iPhone and Windows PC are connected to different networks.

Users can transfer files remotely without requiring both devices to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Cross-network transfers use end-to-end encryption to protect data while it travels between devices.

DropToPC supports unlimited cross-network transfer volume and usage, with high-speed transfer capabilities also available.

Privacy-Focused Transfers — No Cloud Photo Storage

Your photos and videos are transferred to your own Windows PC rather than stored as cloud photo content by DropToPC.

For local network transfers, files move directly between your iPhone and Windows PC without passing through the internet.

For cross-network transfers, end-to-end encryption helps protect your data during transmission.

When relay infrastructure is needed to establish a cross-network connection, encrypted transfer data is relayed rather than stored as a cloud photo library. Transfer data is discarded after the transfer session ends.

DropToPC is designed to make wireless transfers convenient while respecting users' privacy.

High-Speed Transfers and Automatic Backup

Beyond everyday wireless file transfers, DropToPC provides additional capabilities for users who need faster transfers and convenient backups.

High-Speed Cross-Network Transfers

Transfer photos and videos between your iPhone and Windows PC across different networks with high-speed transfer capabilities.

Automatic Photo and Video Backup

DropToPC supports automatic photo and video backups across networks.

Users can choose a starting date or select All as the backup starting point. DropToPC can automatically back up eligible new photos and videos to the Windows PC when the PC is available.

Optional Photo Cleanup

After a manually initiated transfer is successfully completed and verified, users can choose whether to delete the transferred photos and videos from their iPhone.

Nothing is deleted automatically. Users remain in control of their original photos and videos.
