iPhone → Windows

Transfer iPhone photos to Windows, without another app.

Open Receive on the Windows PC, scan its QR code with the iPhone, and select the photos you want to send. This is designed for a deliberate batch, not full-library sync.

Either way you get a code. Whichever device has a camera scans it.

The short answer

A quick route for selected photos and videos

FCShare bridges Safari on the iPhone and a browser on Windows without asking both devices to join the same vendor account. The iPhone file or photo picker controls what can be selected; the transfer engine sends the chosen file bytes and does not intentionally resize or recompress them.

For an entire photo library, recurring backups, album organization, or automatic HEIC conversion, use Apple’s supported import or sync workflow instead. This page is for moving a selected set now while both devices are present.

How to do it

Three steps, in the browser.

1
Open Receive on Windows
Leave the QR code visible on the PC screen.
2
Scan and choose on iPhone
Use the Camera app, open the link in Safari, then select photos or videos.
3
Accept on Windows
Choose where to save when the browser offers it and wait for completion before leaving Safari.

Keep Safari active
Selection options depend on iOS

Photo format on Windows

Recent iPhones may provide HEIC images or HEVC videos. FCShare transfers the file; it does not convert the format. If the Windows app you use cannot open it, change the capture/export compatibility setting or convert the saved copy afterward.

Why a browser transfer can help

It avoids a cable and does not require signing the PC into iCloud. It is also temporary: there is no FileCarpenter photo library to remove later. The saved copy on Windows remains yours to organize or delete.

Questions people ask

Will the photo lose quality?

FCShare does not recompress the selected file. The exact item exposed by the iPhone picker is what the browser sends.

Can I select multiple photos?

Yes, when the iOS picker and selected source permit multiple selection. They arrive as separate files.

Can I transfer every photo on my iPhone?

The tool is better for selected batches. Use an official wired or sync workflow for a complete, repeatable library import.
