Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open QuickBridge on your Windows PC
Go to quickbridge.app in Chrome or Edge. A QR code appears as soon as the page loads. This is the session your iPhone will join.
Step 2: Scan the QR with your iPhone camera
Open the Camera app on your iPhone and hold it over the QR code on your PC screen. A banner appears at the top, tap it, and Safari opens the transfer page.
Step 3: Confirm the emoji codes on both screens
Both devices display an emoji sequence derived from the DTLS certificate fingerprints used in their WebRTC connection. Comparing the sequences through a trusted channel helps users detect a possible man-in-the-middle attack. The comparison does not indicate whether the connection is direct or uses a relay.
Step 4: Drag the file onto the browser tab on your PC
Drag a file from Windows Explorer into the QuickBridge browser tab. You can also use the file picker or paste from your clipboard. The file starts streaming to your iPhone immediately.
Step 5: Open or save the file on your iPhone
Safari shows a download notification. Tap it to open the file in a compatible app, save it to Files, or share it to Photos. iOS figures out the right app based on the file type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do files go when they arrive on my iPhone?
Safari downloads files to the Downloads folder in the iOS Files app. You can access them there immediately. Images and videos can be saved to Photos from the Files app using the share sheet. Some file types open directly in compatible apps (PDFs open in Files or Preview, documents open in the relevant app if installed).
Can I send large video files from Windows to iPhone?
Transfers to iPhone are received in Safari
Do I need an Apple ID or iCloud account?
No. QuickBridge has nothing to do with Apple
My iPhone and PC are on different networks. Will it still work?
Yes. QuickBridge connects across networks using STUN and TURN. The QR code pairing works regardless of whether both devices are on the same Wi-Fi or on completely separate connections.
Is there a risk the file gets stored somewhere?
No. The file content is encrypted end-to-end using WebRTC DTLS and travels directly between the two browsers. QuickBridge
Is QuickBridge free?
QuickBridge is free to use, with no subscription required. Advertisements may appear on the site to help support its ongoing operation.
What is QuickBridge?
QuickBridge is a browser-based peer-to-peer file transfer tool. Open the site on both devices, scan the QR code or enter the 6-digit PIN, and files stream directly between the two browsers over an encrypted WebRTC channel. No account, no app install, and no cloud file storage.
Who is QuickBridge best for?
QuickBridge is best for anyone who needs to move files between two devices in real time without a USB cable, account, or app install. Both devices need to have a browser open at the same time. Choose a cloud service like Google Drive or WeTransfer when the recipient will not be online right away, or when you need the same file to reach several people at different times.
