Transfer files from iPhone to a Windows PC without a cable

How to do it

1. On the Windows PC, open roomdisk.com/app in Chrome or Edge and choose Use this device as the spare disk. Files are kept in a folder you choose, as normal files.
2. On the iPhone, scan the QR code with the Camera app and tap the roomdisk.com link. RoomDisk shows its own code.
3. On the Windows PC, tap Scan reply and hold the iPhone up to its webcam. Or tap Share reply on the iPhone.
4. Both say Connected. Choose files on the iPhone and send.

Why not a cable or AirDrop?

• A cable needs the right adapter, an unlocked iPhone, “Trust this computer”, and the Photos app or iTunes.
• Imports can stop with “The device is unreachable”, often while iPhone converts photos mid-copy.
• Big libraries take several tries; a dropped cable starts over.

Every iPhone model

The port only matters for cables. RoomDisk sends over Wi-Fi, so these are here for reference: speed depends on your network, not the port.

Originals or compatible copies?

On iPhone, for exact originals, tap Options in the photo picker and choose Current, or pick from the Files app. Otherwise iPhone may send converted copies (for example JPEG instead of HEIC).

If HEIC photos won’t open on the PC, install Microsoft’s HEIF Image Extensions, or choose “Most Compatible” in the picker’s Options to send JPEG copies. More on HEIC.
