Transfer files from phone to PC
Upload in the phone app, then download on your PC with your PIN. No cable needed.
How it works
1. Open the Pinfast app on your iPhone or Android phone, sign in and upload the file. On iPhone, you can also share a photo from the Photos app to Pinfast. Choose how long the file stays available: 3 hours or 24 hours.
2. On your PC, open pinfast.io/your-username in a web browser and enter your 4-digit PIN. If you use the Pinfast app for Mac or Windows, sign in with the same username and PIN.
3. Download the file to your PC. The file goes through the internet, so you do not need a cable, and the phone and the PC do not need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Anyone who knows your username and PIN can open your files. On a shared computer, log out when you are done.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a cable or the same Wi-Fi network?
No. The file goes through the internet. The phone and the PC only need an internet connection, and they can be on different networks.
Do I need to install an app on the PC?
No. Open pinfast.io/your-username in a web browser and enter your 4-digit PIN. The Mac and Windows apps are optional.
How large can the file be, and how long does it stay?
Up to 50 MB per file, with up to 3 active files at a time. You choose 3 hours or 24 hours when you upload. After that, the file expires and is cleaned up automatically.
