How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to Computer
Ғылым және технология
Learn how to take photos and videos from your Apple iPhone and bring them to your Windows 10 desktop or laptop. In this video, I walk through three different ways to transfer photos, including:
1) The Photos app that comes included as part of Windows 10
2) File Explorer
3) Google Photos
The Photos app and File Explorer both require connecting the iPhone to the PC via a Lightning cable. The Google Photos technique only requires a data connection, either through Wifi or cellular data.

Thanks, Kevin! That was really easy to understand. I like the straightforward way you explain the different methods of transferring videos. What I would like to see is how to move all those photos instead of just copying. Seems like there used to be a "move" option but I didn't see that one ... just the share and copying options.
This was so helpful I had watched like 100 videos already until I stumbled here. I had to just delete/ uninstall my iTunes and start all over by just using the photo app to import... thank you 🙏🏼
Unfortunately import photos via the Windows 10 "Photos App" doesn't work, because "0 elements were found". Via File Explorer is say "Device cannot be reached", although I actually can see the photos in the file explorer.
My friend sent me this link to upload my pics and videos. I was having such a hard time until I watched your video. Thank you so much for the easy and clear understanding video.
Finally someone gives an option that doesn't involve a Mac laptop!! Very detailed and to the point...You rock :)

To all the people who has the problem like: device error, etc. Try this: go to setting --- photos --- at the bottom choose for "Keep Originals" instead of "Automatic". It's about the vdo files HVEC or something that couldn't be transfer to Windows.

Thank you SO much! I haven't been able to transfer pictures in forever. My cord would either not be recognized or it would say there is no new pictures to transfer (which could not be further from reality). I have tried to look up many ways to fix it and nothing has done the trick. I never have the time and patience to deal with it. The Google photos is working wonderfully. I tested a few pictures and looks like it will be easy to create albums and then download an album of organized pictures at a time. I am so happy you solved a huge problem that has been hanging over my head.
Thank you sooo much - you have made it super easy for me to transfer my photos!
My computer won’t even recognize my phone and idk why because it did the first time but only let me upload pictures but not video 😩
Hi Kevin, I have had all iPhone since the iPhone 4 came out. I would always transfer photos via the old-fashioned way using the connection cord and the file Explorer like you showed in this video. Never had a problem with this until my last two iPhones, the iPhone X and XS max. I have a lot of photos that I tried to transfer in bulk via this method and about five minutes in, or even sometimes sooner, I always get a message that reads "device cannot be reached" and I never get beyond that. I've heard from Apple people that it's because of the specific photo files that the new IOS operating system uses and when the computer is trying to convert it to a JPEG this interruption always occurs. Some of these people have said to change the setting to keep original, however my Windows computer cannot open the new high definition file. Have you had this problem yourself?

Check your Camera settings: got to Formats: check “Most Compatible”. This will only help with the new photos you take after you’ve selected this option(your file size is bigger). For the photos you already have, I would suggest getting a flash drive for iPhone like the ones from SanDisk. They’re pretty easy to use but it’s an extra expense. I hope that helps

Ahhh thanks! i've been struggling from 2 days to find a way. The photos one wouldn't work cuz of some sort of error. I tried the file explorer method and it worked for me!!
Thanks so much! This was perfectly explained and now I will be able to use this easily. One question, in using the GOOGLE Photos app, is it safe when it imports all your photos to the cloud?
i’ve done this before and it worked but now when i try doing it, the trust notification won’t pop up on my phone. and i’ve done that thing where you rest your location and privacy settings and then it the notification pops up but i’ll go to select the photos i want to transfer and something ends up going wrong. how can i fix this?
Thank you for the video. However, when I plug in my iPhone, I do not get that same window to pop up that asks if I'd like to import photos. Instead, iTunes immediately generates. What should I do?

Hi Kevin, thanks so much for these three options. Google photos works and so does File Explorer. But I'm having one issue I hoped you could help me with, as I am relatively computer illiterate. Before I found your video, when I plugged in my cable the first time, I got the dialog of How would you like to import and the list of choices, as you showed us. I clicked on File Explorer (and it told me my file was empty--I had forgotten to click "Allow" on my phone). I had unplugged and tried again and now each time I plug in, it goes straight to File Explorer, I no longer get the choice, How would you like to Import. It's not a big deal, but not being computer savvy, I was wondering how do I pull up the Import choice dialogue, in case I want it? It came up every time I plugged in my old Android. Thanks so much!!

I have used the Photos App option for some time with no issues. However lately the downloaded photos from my IPhone are being dumped into my 'pictures' folder with a bunch of unrelated others. It used to dump them into a year / date folder in the pictures folder which was pretty nice in that it sorted them by year/month. I could then file them as I liked. It would even create the year /Month folder if there wasnt one yet. That option seems to have disappeared. How do I return to that? Thanks...
