Phone-to-Windows File Transfer
Scan a QR on your PC. Drop your photos. They're on Windows.
Nothing to install on your phone.
Only a QR scan
No setup. No account.
No phone app
Browser only. Any phone works.
HEIC→JPEG / MOV→MP4
HEIC and MOV? Handled.
Works anywhere
Mobile data, hotel Wi-Fi — fine.
Problem
All you want is iPhone photos on Windows.
Every method works — sort of. You know the frustration.
Plug in. Nothing happens. Where even is the folder?
Compressed. Blurry. Ten photos? Good luck.
Too big to send. Upload, wait, download. Just to move a photo? Come on.
"File format not supported." Every. Single. Time.
DropToss wipes out all of that
with only a QR
seriously, that's it
Try it
Try the transfer flow yourself
Point at the PC's QR
① Scan the QR on your phone
Solution
Point your camera at the QR on your PC. That's the entire setup.
Browser only. Borrow someone's phone and it just works.
Transfer and convert in one shot. No extra software. The Windows + iPhone headache, gone.
Same Wi-Fi: direct. Different network: cloud. It decides. You just send.
Auto Conversion ★
You know the moment — you try to open an iPhone photo on Windows
and you get "file format not supported."
DropToss converts as it transfers — photos HEIC → JPEG
Videos: MOV → MP4 — no extra steps
You don't need a separate converter
iPhone's format → opens on Windows
iPhone's format → plays and edits on Windows
Other formats like AVI / MKV also supported
* Toggle conversion in settings anytime. Originals also supported.
Reliability
DropToss reads your connection and adapts.
You hit Send. It figures out the rest.
Same Wi-Fi: direct, server-free. Different network: auto cloud relay.
Mobile data, hotel Wi-Fi, the train —
your network situation doesn't matter
Every file shows its own progress
failures are obvious and easy to retry
Speed matters. Knowing what's happening matters more.
Same Wi-Fi
Direct device-to-device. No server, maximum speed.
Different network
Switches to cloud automatically. Works on the road.
Progress per file
Each file has its own bar. Failures show clearly, dismiss with ×.
Never overwrites
Same name? Gets "(1)", "(2)" automatically. Old files stay safe.
How it works
No accounts. No drivers. No nonsense.
Start DropToss on your PC. Point your phone's camera at the QR. That's the whole setup.
Your phone opens a page. Pick photos, tap send. Send multiple files at once.
Files land in your Windows folder, already converted. No extra steps.

Use Cases
iPhone photo → scan → PC. HEIC already converted. Upload straight to your listing. The whole listing flow, drastically faster.
Screenshots, PDFs, chat images — all to your PC, no back-and-forth. Done with email limits and Slack compression.
iPhone footage to your editing setup, cable-free. PC-to-PC goes up to 20GB — so RAW files and 4K clips move in one shot.
Security
"Is cloud relay safe?" — fair question. Here's the answer.
Every byte is encrypted in transit. Cloud or not.
Files delete from the server the moment transfer completes. 60-minute max either way.
On the same Wi-Fi, your files never leave your network. Fully closed loop.
Server logs record nothing about your photos. Zero content stored.
Voices
Feedback from early testers
It actually is just a QR scan. Listing photos done before I sit down. Can't go back.
No more HEIC errors. Worth every cent for that alone.
Nothing on the phone means any phone works. Quietly brilliant.

FAQ
Nope. DropToss is a one-time purchase. No monthly fee, no renewal. Final pricing may vary by Microsoft Store region.
Yes — iPhone, iPad and Android all work. It runs in the browser so nothing needs to be installed on the phone.
Not for local transfers. Same Wi-Fi = direct device-to-device, no server. Different network? It auto-switches to cloud.
Cloud transfers delete from the server the moment they're received — 60-minute max. Same Wi-Fi never touches a server.
Windows only for now. Macs have AirDrop, so we're solving the Windows side first.
Zero difference in features. The trial runs for 7 days. Try it for real before you buy.
Absolutely. HEIC auto-converts so you can upload straight to any marketplace. Shoot → transfer → list, no friction.
Yes. Phone to PC is up to 300MB. MOV auto-converts to MP4. Between two PCs running DropToss, you can move up to 20GB — big enough for 4K footage and RAW.
Sure — but with DropToss, transfer and conversion happen at the same time. No extra app, no extra step. Drop on phone, done on PC.
Never. Same-name files get "(1)", "(2)" and so on. Your existing files are always safe.
Yes — DropToss is a Windows app. You install it on the PC, and the phone side is just a browser.
