WiFiPhoto for iPhoneHow do you transfer the photos on iPhone to your computer? I guess most of you rely on iTunes to sync the photos from iPhone to your PC/Mac via the dock or USB cable.

With a sleek and simple interface, WiFiPhoto app lets you transfer photos from iPhone to your computer wirelessly. No docking or USB cable. It offers the easiest way to download full resolution photos from your camera roll or photo library over WiFi network. You are offered with options to download the photos one at a time or a compressed archive of all photos.

To transfer photos, simply launch the app and tap the “+” button. Pick the photos you would like download and tap “Done”. In main screen of WiFiPhoto, you should see those photos you have just selected. To download the photo, launch the browser on your computer and connect to the URL as suggested by WiFiPhoto. Say, for the sample picture below, point your browser to http://10.0.1.5:8080.

Once connected, WiFiPhoto will show you a gallery of the selected pictures for download. The app supports nearly all common browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

WiFiPhoto offers multiple option via a configuration screen for you to customize. You can choose a different server port and enable the app to work over cellular data network, which is disabled by default. Depending your preference, you can also control the image quality for download. But remember , the higher the quality, the larger is the file size. The latest update of WiFiPhoto even includes the possibility to watch slideshows on TV screens connected to game consoles.

Hi Simon,

Is this one any different from File Magnet?

My iPhone has problem of connecting to Internet via Wi-Fi. I have tried so many different way to get Internet to work via normal router or Ad Hoc connection setup, but with less success. I could make it work 1 our of 100.

With Ad Hoc setup, I always able to connect the iPhone to PC without issue, but, Internet sharing is a different matter, hence File Magnet did not work. I wonder if this works without Internet connection?
