How to Transfer Files From Windows to iPhone
Send PDFs, movies, and music from Windows PC directly to your iPhone Files app. No iTunes sync, no cloud storage, and zero cables required.
Sending files from a Windows PC to an iPhone can be done wirelessly in seconds using your web browser. You do not need to install iTunes, configure cloud drives, or email files to yourself. Files transfer directly into the iPhone Files app over local Wi-Fi.
The reverse dilemma: Windows to iPhone
While getting photos out of an iPhone via cable is partially supported on Windows, copying files in the reverse direction (Windows PC into an iPhone) is blocked by iOS security unless you use iTunes file sharing or cloud sync tools.
