Windows to Android. Drag, scan, done.

You have a file on your Windows PC and need it on your Android phone. Emailing it to yourself works but feels ridiculous. Bluetooth is painfully slow for anything over a few megabytes. This guide shows you a faster way that takes five steps and under a minute.

Five steps to get a file from your PC to your phone

  1. 01

    Open QuickBridge on your Windows PC

    Go to quickbridge.app in Chrome or Edge. A QR code and 6-digit PIN appear on screen. This is the session your Android will join.

  2. 02

    Scan the QR on your Android phone

    Use your Android camera or Chrome's built-in QR scanner to scan the code on your PC screen. The transfer page opens in Chrome on your phone. If scanning is awkward, open quickbridge.app on your phone and enter the PIN instead.

  3. 03

    Confirm the emoji codes match

    Both screens show the same emoji sequence. Check they match before sending. This confirms the direct encrypted connection.

  4. 04

    Drag a file onto the browser window on your PC

    Drag a file from Windows Explorer into the QuickBridge browser tab. You can also use the file picker or paste an image from your clipboard. The transfer starts immediately.

  5. 05

    Open the file on your Android phone

    Your phone's browser shows the incoming file and prompts you to download it. It lands in your Downloads folder. Photos can be saved to your gallery from there.
