Ever wished you could view your iPhone photos on a bigger screen without plugging in cables, or transfer photos to your Mac / PC without iTunes, iCloud, or AirDrop hassles? We've all been there ā struggling with slow sync, limited cloud storage, or awkward file transfer workflows. There had to be a simpler way.
Hi Product Hunt! š
I'm the creator of PicPortal ā an iOS app that turns your iPhone into a wireless photo server.
Here's the story: I was tired of the pain of getting photos off my iPhone. AirDrop was unreliable with non-Apple devices, iTunes was dead, iCloud was expensive, and emailing photos to myself just felt silly. I wanted a way to view my photo library on any screen, instantly, without cables or accounts.
So I built PicPortal. You install it on your iPhone, open the app, and it gives you a local web URL. Type that URL into any browser on the same Wi-Fi network ā and suddenly you can:
š¼ļø Preview all your photos and videos on a bigger screen
š¤ Drag & drop to upload files from your computer to your iPhone
š„ Download photos/videos from iPhone to any device
šļø Bulk-delete shots you don't need anymore
All on-device. No cloud. Your photos never leave your iPhone unless you explicitly share them. Free to try, with an optional Pro upgrade.
Would love your feedback, questions, and upvotes. Thanks for checking it out! š
