Splashtop cross-platform remote access connections enable you to access a Mac from a PC and remotely control it as if you were sitting in front of the Mac.

While Mac computers and Windows PCs run on different operating systems, you can still use your PC to remote into your MacOS computer with Splashtop.

With Splashtop, you’ll never feel disconnected from your Mac. You’ll be able to remotely access it from anywhere in the world. Plus, you don’t need another Mac or Apple device to access your Mac. You can use any computer, tablet, or mobile device to remote into your Mac.

Unlike other remote access tools, Splashtop is completely cross-platform and offers the same features, high-performance connections, and security when accessing a Mac computer.

Here’s how you can get started with Splashtop for free, set it up in just a few minutes, and use it at any time to remote into your Mac from your PC.

Why Splashtop for Windows PC to Mac Remote Access

It doesn’t matter that you’re remoting in from a PC. With Splashtop, you’ll be able to leverage all the features and functionality of the MacOS operating system while in a remote connection. You’ll have access to all the files, and be able to run any software app on your Mac remotely.

As mentioned earlier, many remote access products don’t offer feature parity when it comes to accessing Mac computers. However, with Splashtop, you’ll get to enjoy all the top features while remoting into your Mac, including drag-and-drop file transfer, remote print, session recording, and more.

You’ll also be able to hear the audio from the remote Mac computer on your local speakers. Splashtop is one of the few remote access platforms that offers Mac remote computer sound.

Splashtop consistently earns the best user review scores thanks to its security, ease of use, and high-performance remote connections.
