FastCopy guide
iPhone to Windows clipboard
iPhone and Windows do not have Apple Universal Clipboard together. FastCopy gives you a quick browser-based bridge.
No loginShort codeQR codeTemporary text
Web FastCopy now supports text plus small file/image handoff. Larger files and group rooms are planned as separate storage-backed features.
Use it for disposable text
It is ideal for links, addresses, notes, and codes that only need to exist briefly.
No ecosystem lock-in
FastCopy uses a normal web page, so it works even when your phone and PC belong to different platforms and accounts.
How it works
The tool stays at the top so you can use it immediately. These steps explain the same flow for anyone comparing temporary clipboard options.
- 1
Paste the text you want to move: a link, command, address, code, note, or short snippet.
- 2
Generate a 4-digit or 6-digit short code. FastCopy also creates a QR code for mobile handoff.
- 3
Open FastCopy on the other device, scan the QR code, or enter the short code on the Find a clip page.
- 4
Copy the text and let the clip expire. Burn-after-read clips disappear after the first successful view.
Best for
- Safari links you need in Windows
- Windows links you want on iPhone
- Short notes and addresses
- Codes that should expire soon
FastCopy vs iCloud-based handoff
iCloud handoff is excellent inside Apple devices. FastCopy fills the gap when your workflow crosses from iPhone into Windows.
Privacy and expiration
FastCopy is built for disposable text transfer, not permanent storage. Temporary clip pages are marked noindex, robots.txt blocks the clip view path, text is escaped before display, and anonymous clips can expire quickly or burn after the first read. Use it for convenience, but avoid sending passwords, private keys, or sensitive personal data through any temporary web clipboard.
