Send files from your PC to your iPhone — no iTunes required

Putting a file onto an iPhone from a Windows PC is famously backwards: iTunes wants to "sync", iCloud wants an upload-and-wait round trip, and email caps your attachment at 25 MB. All you want is this PDF, on that phone, now.

Zippit turns it into one gesture: your PC shows a QR code, your iPhone scans it, and you drag files into the browser. Seconds later they are on the phone — savable to the Files app, your camera roll, or any app on the share sheet.

The old way

iTunes file sync

App-by-app file sharing buried three menus deep, and a full sync cycle for one document. The tool everyone loves to hate.

iCloud round-trips

Upload from the PC, wait for sync, find it in the iCloud app on the phone. Two clouds and several minutes for a local job.

Emailing yourself attachments

Size limits, inbox clutter, and files living in your email forever. The default workflow because everything else was worse.

How it works

  1. 01

    Open Zippit on the PC

    Sign in free in any browser. Your QR code is ready immediately.

  2. 02

    Scan it with the iPhone

    The camera app opens the pairing page in Safari — no app, no phone-side account.

  3. 03

    Drag files in on the PC

    Drop documents, photos, or videos into the browser. They arrive on the iPhone instantly.

Why Zippit for this

Straight to the Files app

Save arrivals anywhere on the phone — Files, Photos, or directly into another app via the share sheet.

No size-25MB email ceiling

Send the whole video, not a compressed thumbnail of it.

Links and notes too

Push a URL or a snippet of text to the phone alongside your files — it all arrives in the same place.

Self-cleaning

Transfers auto-delete after 24 hours, so nothing piles up in an account you have to manage.

Common questions

How do I get a PDF from my PC onto my iPhone quickly?

Open Zippit on the PC, scan the QR code with the iPhone, and drop the PDF into the browser window. It appears on the phone in seconds, ready to open or save to the Files app.

Can I send photos from PC to iPhone without iCloud?

Yes. Zippit transfers go directly between your session’s two devices over the web — no iCloud account, storage quota, or sync wait involved. Files auto-delete after 24 hours.

Will videos I send play on the iPhone?

Files arrive exactly as sent. Standard formats like MP4 (H.264/HEVC) play natively on iOS; other formats can be saved to Files and opened with a compatible app.

Do I need iTunes installed for any of this?

No. Everything happens in the browser on both devices — there is nothing to install on the PC or the iPhone.

Ready when you are.
