iTunes is bloated and slow. USB cables get lost. iCloud charges you. There is a better way — transfer files from iPhone to PC wirelessly using Seyfr. Free, full quality, no account.
Download Seyfr from the App Store — free. Works on iPhone 12 and later.
Open Seyfr on your iPhone. A QR code appears immediately. No account setup, no pairing process.
On your Windows PC, open any browser — Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. Use your webcam to scan the QR code, or type the URL shown in the Seyfr app. The file transfer panel opens in your browser.
Select files on your iPhone to send to your PC, or drag files from your PC into the browser to send to your iPhone. Transfer starts immediately. A 1GB video takes about 60 seconds on a typical home network.
Seyfr sends your iPhone photos with zero compression. Your 48MP iPhone 16 photos arrive on your PC at 48MP. HEIC and HEIF files transfer natively. RAW files from the iPhone Pro camera transfer intact. Nothing is resized, compressed, or converted.
This makes Seyfr the best way to transfer photos from iPhone to PC for photographers who need to keep full resolution files.
iPhone 4K videos can be 3-5GB per minute. Email won't work. iCloud requires a paid plan. AirDrop only works with Apple devices. Seyfr handles 4K Cinematic Mode videos, ProRes videos, and slow-motion clips — any video format your iPhone records, transferred at full quality.

Seyfr transfers directly from iPhone to PC over local Wi-Fi with no iCloud and no internet required for the file transfer itself. Your files go directly from your iPhone to your PC.
Seyfr over Wi-Fi is faster than USB+iTunes for most users because it avoids the slow indexing and syncing that iTunes does. On a 5GHz Wi-Fi network, Seyfr can transfer 1GB in about 30 seconds.
