Just 3 steps - and you can download movies to iPhone without even using iTunes. Compatible with Mac & Windows.
Apple devices are amazing for movie playback. But it’s hella trouble to download movies from PC to iPhone. You might have tons of awesome movies on your computer, but if you’d like to save one of them to iPhone or iPad you need to go through quite a hassle.
The usual tool to move your files between devices is iTunes (which of course is not that user-friendly).
Sure thing, iTunes is the application designed to download movies to iPhone as well as any other file type. It’s meant for this. But the truth is, iTunes may not always work as it’s supposed.
Beginning with the fact that it simply may not always recognize your device or it has all those format impediments like it can’t sync AVI or MKV movies.

If you were searching for the way to play AVI on iPhone or iPad – great news! WALTR converts & transfers any movies to iPhone. It accepts MKV, AVI, CUE, WMA, WMV and many many more.
Step 1. Launch WALTR 2
WALTR 2 has a very clear UI. There are no buttons or tabs, there’s no way you can get lost and get confused.
Step 2. Plug-in your iPhone
Before you download movies from PC to iPhone, you will need to connect it to your computer.
WALTR 2 is able to work via WiFi, but to enable the feature you have to connect your iPhone to the computer first and then click on the gear in the bottom right corner and select ‘Enable WiFi Connectivity’ there.
This feature is still working experimentally, but very soon it’ll be more than stable.
WALTR 2 also shows you the free storage left on your iOS device.
Step 3. Drag your movie into the drop-zone
The blue progress bar will keep you updated on the whole transferring duration. In this case, I’m putting 3GB episode of ‘Shameless’ TV Show on an iPhone, WALTR will save the movie like that to iPhone in no more than a minute.
More than this, it’s an MKV (Matroska) format, and as you know iPhones usually aren’t able to play back those. In this case, WALTR 2 will convert MKV to MOV on-the-fly.
Next step is simply to go into your TV. app and play it back!
WALTR fully supports the following formats:
Video: MKV & AVI (includes subtitle support: .srt & .ass), MOV, MP4, M4V, 3GP, WMV;
Audio: MP3, FLAC, APE, ALAC, M4R, AAC, M4B, AIFF, WAV, WMA, CUE, OGG, OGA, WV, TTA, DFF;
*Experimental support: FLV, M2TS, TS.
When WALTR transferred the file (and it usually just freakin’ fast), simply proceed to the next step!
Step 4. Locate your movie in the default Videos / TV app
WALTR will notify you and tell you to go to the stock Videos or TV app to find the movie. That’s right – all the files (even the ones that got their format changed) will land inside your native Apple apps. You don’t have to install any other players to enjoy the movies or TV shows that you have.
There are simply no other solutions, that can do the same as WALTR 2. There are literally no other apps that are able to convert MKV to MOV this fast.
More than this, you can easily play your files through default Apple apps right in your iPhone or iPad. Make sure to tell your friends about this experience!
Well, you have to agree with me – this is the most straightforward way (ever!) to download movies on iPhone or iPad since it all can be summed up in one drag & drop movement.
No iTunes, no third-party apps or other converting settings.
