There are several ways to download photos from an iPhone to a computer, either using a USB cable or wirelessly. Here are the main methods:
Using a USB Cable (Wired Transfer)
- Connect the iPhone to the computer with the USB charger cable.
- On your iPhone, tap "Allow" when asked to allow the device to access photos and videos.
- On Windows, open the Photos app (search "Photos" in the Start menu).
- Click the "Import" button in the top right corner of the Photos app.
- Select the photos and videos you want to transfer and import them to your PC.
- Alternatively, on Windows, open File Explorer, find your iPhone under "This PC" as "Apple iPhone," then open the "DCIM" folder. Copy and paste the desired photos to your PC.
Wirelessly Using iCloud Photos
- On your iPhone, enable iCloud Photos: Go to Settings > Photos > Turn on "iCloud Photos."
- On your computer, download and install the "iCloud for Windows" app.
- Sign in with your Apple ID and enable the Photos option with "Download new photos and videos to my PC."
- Your iPhone photos will automatically sync and download to your PC over Wi-Fi.
- Alternatively, you can access iCloud.com from a browser on your computer, sign in, select "Photos," and download photos manually.
These methods give flexibility depending on preference for wired transfer or wireless sync via iCloud.
