Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Learn how to transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC. You can also make your photos available on all your devices with iCloud Photos.

Use iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos keeps your photos and videos safe, up to date, and available automatically on all of your Apple devices, on iCloud.com, and even your PC. When you use iCloud Photos, you don’t need to import photos from one iCloud device to another. iCloud Photos always uploads and stores your original, full-resolution photos. You can keep full-resolution originals on each of your devices, or save space with device-optimized versions instead. Either way, you can download your originals whenever you need them. Any organizational changes or edits you make are always kept up to date across all your Apple devices. Learn how to set up and use iCloud Photos.

The photos and videos that you keep in iCloud Photos use your iCloud storage. Before you turn on iCloud Photos, make sure that you have enough space in iCloud to store your entire collection. You can see how much space you need and then upgrade your storage plan if necessary.

Import to your Mac

You can use the Photos app to import photos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac.

1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac with a USB cable.
2. Open the Photos app on your computer.
3. The Photos app shows an Import screen with all the photos and videos that are on your connected device. If the Import screen doesn’t automatically appear, click the device’s name in the Photos sidebar.
4. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust to continue.
5. Choose where you want to import your photos. Next to «Import to,» you can choose an existing album or create a new one.
6. Select the photos you want to import and click Import Selected, or click Import All New Photos.
   
7. Wait for the process to finish, then disconnect your device from your Mac.

Import to your Windows PC

You can import photos to your PC by connecting your device to your computer and using the Windows Photos app:

1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes on your PC. Importing photos to your PC requires iTunes 12.5.1 or later.
2. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your PC with a USB cable.
3. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode.
4. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust or Allow to continue.

If you have iCloud Photos turned on, you need to download the original, full resolution versions of your photos to your iPhone before you import to your PC. Find out how.

When you import videos from your iOS or iPadOS device to your PC, some might be rotated incorrectly in the Windows Photos app. You can add these videos to iTunes to play them in the correct orientation.

If you’re having trouble importing photos from your iOS or iPadOS device to Windows 10, try these steps:

1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, open the Settings app. Tap Camera, then tap Formats.
2. Tap Most Compatible. From now on, your camera will create photos and videos in JPEG and H.264 formats.

Question: Q: Where are my pictures after backup?

I recently upgraded phones, but the new one had a smaller hard drive than the older one. So I did not restore my thousands of photos I had on it. I did back up the old phone however. So my question is, where are my pictures located on my Windows 7 computer after I backed them up? They are not in iCloud, and I can’t find anything that says pictures in iTunes. Restoring my phone from the old backup is not an option — the hard drive is nowhere near big enough. I just need to get access to all of those old photos. Thanks.

iPhone 4s (8GB), iOS 7.1

Helpful answers

I appreciate the reply, but this was of no help. I can not restore the pictures to my phone — as I explained the hard drive in the new phone is smaller than in the old one, so I don’t have room for all the pictures.

My question is, how do I access my pictures once they have been backed up to the computer? There is a backup file from my phone on the computer somewhere, I should be able to get to those pictures on my computer somehow. Otherwise 3000 pictures are essentially lost to me.

Hopefully that clarifies a bit. Thanks!

The iPhone’s backup is stored in a SQLite database format.

Photos/videos in the iPhone’s Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

After the photos are imported with your computer, the photos can be transferred to the new iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

When you backed up your pictures, you would have had to «import» them to the computer. When you imported them, you would have had to select where you wanted them imported to:

On a Windows machine, they are typically imported to «My Pictures» folder. They should be there unless you specified a different path.

Photos and videos in the iPhone’s Camera Roll are just one part of the iPhone’s backup.

• Camera Roll (photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken)
  For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
• Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync your contacts to a computer or cloud service, such as iCloud, to back them up)
• Calendar accounts and subscribed calendars
• Calendar events
• Safari bookmarks, cookies, history, offline data, and currently open pages
• Autofill for webpages
• Offline web application cache/database
• Notes
• Mail accounts (mail messages aren’t backed up)
• Microsoft Exchange account configurations
• Call history
• Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos)
• Voicemail token (This isn’t the voicemail password, but is used for validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same phone number on the SIM card)
• Voice memos
• Network settings (saved Wi-Fi hotspots, VPN settings, network preferences)
• Keychain (includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications)
  If you encrypt the backup, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you’re restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you need to enter these passwords again.
• App Store Application data (except the Application itself, its tmp, and Caches folder)
• Application settings, preferences, and data, including documents
• In-app purchases
• Game Center account
• Wallpapers
• Location service preferences for apps and websites you’ve allowed to use your location
• Home screen arrangement
• Installed profiles
  When you restore a backup to a different device, installed configuration profiles aren’t restored (such as accounts, restrictions, or anything that can be specified through an installed profile). Any accounts or settings that aren’t associated with an installed profile will be restored.
• Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps
• Nike + iPod saved workouts and settings
• Paired Bluetooth devices (which you can only use if restored to the same phone that did the backup)
• Saved suggestion corrections
• Trusted hosts that have certificates that can’t be verified
• Web clips

The answer remains the same regardless if you are unable to transfer just the photos and videos in the old iPhone’s Camera Roll to the new iPhone.

Photos/videos in the iPhone’s Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

Import the photos/videos in the iPhone’s Camera Roll.

The iPhone’s backup is stored in a SQLite database format which means you can’t simply access the backup to extract photos and other data without using a utility that is designed for it. There is no need to do that unless you have erased the old iPhone.

If you’re missing photos or videos in the Photos app

If you’re missing a photo or video from your Photos app, try these steps to find it.

Check your Recently Deleted folder

If you accidentally deleted your photo or video, it goes to the Recently Deleted folder. Go to Photos > Albums, and tap Recently Deleted in the Utilities section. If you see the missing photo or video, you can move it back into your Recents album.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Tap the photo or video, then tap Recover.
2. Confirm that you want to recover the photo.

To recover multiple photos

1. Tap Select.
2. Tap the photos or videos, then tap Recover.
   
3. Confirm that you want to recover the photos or videos.

On your Mac

1. Click the photo or video.
2. Click Recover.

Anything in your Recently Deleted folder stays there for 30 days. After 30 days, it’s permanently deleted and you can’t get it back.

Make sure that iCloud Photos is turned on

iCloud Photos securely stores all of your photos and videos in iCloud, so that you can access them on all your devices. If you took a photo on your iPhone but don’t see it on your other devices, check your settings with these steps.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings > [your name], then tap iCloud.
2. Tap Photos.
3. Turn on iCloud Photos.
   

On your Mac

1. Go to Photos > Preferences.
2. Click the iCloud tab.
3. Select iCloud Photos.

After you turn on iCloud Photos, you might need to connect to Wi-Fi and wait a few minutes. Then look for your photos again.

Sign in with the same Apple ID

For your photos and videos to stay up to date on all your devices, make sure that you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on every device.

You can check which Apple ID your device is using in Settings or System Preferences. You’ll see your name and email address. Your email address is your Apple ID.

Unhide your photos

If you hide photos and videos, you’ll see them only in your Hidden album, so it might seem like they’re missing. But you can unhide your photos and videos whenever you want. With iOS 14 and later, you can hide the Hidden album so it doesn’t appear anywhere in the Photos app. So if you’re missing photos or videos, make sure the Hidden album is turned on so you can see it.

If you use iCloud Photos, the photos that you hide on one device are hidden on your other devices too.
