Review
What Is LINE for PC?
LINE for PC is the official Windows desktop application for LINE, one of Asia's most widely used messaging platforms, particularly popular in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia. It brings the core LINE experience, chats, voice and video calls, stickers, and shared albums, onto a full desktop screen, syncing continuously with the mobile app on the same account.
Key Features
- Instant synchronization of messages, media, and sticker history with mobile
- Free one-on-one and group voice and video calling
- Screen sharing during calls for quick collaboration
- Drag-and-drop file and photo sharing directly from the desktop
- Multiple chat windows for managing several conversations at once
Who Should Use It
LINE for PC suits professionals and students who communicate with contacts in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, or other LINE-heavy markets, as well as anyone who prefers typing on a keyboard rather than a phone screen. It is also handy for small businesses and customer support teams who use LINE Official Accounts to talk with customers.
Common Use Cases
- Running video meetings or catch-up calls with screen sharing
- Managing customer or client conversations from a desk
- Sharing documents and images quickly during a chat
- Keeping up with group chats while multitasking on other work
A Quick Tip
Since LINE for PC now requires Windows 10 version 1607 or later, check your Windows build before installing; if you are on an older system, update Windows first, then install the latest client so you don't get stuck on an outdated, less secure version.
