How to Import Photos From iPhone to PC With OneDrive
By far, the easiest way to download pictures from iPhone to a computer is to use a cloud service such as Microsoft’s OneDrive. After the initial setup, this method will allow your iPhone to wirelessly sync all of your iPhone photos and videos to your Windows 10 computer automatically, so you won’t have to worry about connecting any cables or manually copying files.
How to Download Pictures From iPhone to Computer With the Photos App
Another common way to import pictures from iPhone to Windows 10 is to use the native Windows 10 Photos app. It can be a bit fiddly at first, though, as it requires you to download and install the iTunes app and register your iPhone within iTunes before your computer can read the contents of your iPhone’s storage. Here’s how to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer with the Windows 10 Photos app.
How to Transfer Photos From iPhone to Computer via File Explorer
If you don’t like using the Photos app, you can also download pictures from your iPhone to your computer using the basic Windows 10 File Explorer tool you typically use to browse folders on your device. Once you’ve installed and set up iTunes, open File Explorer, which you can access via the Documents link in the Start Menu and navigate to This PC > Apple iPhone > Internal Storage > DCIM to access your pictures and videos. Your iPhone photos may be in multiple folders, but all you need to do now is find the ones you want and copy them to another folder on your Windows 10 PC.
Import Pictures From iPhone to Windows 10 Using Email and Messaging Apps
If you’re not a fan of cloud services or don’t feel like downloading any additional apps, you can still transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer the old-fashioned way by using email. All you need to do is compose an email on your iPhone, make sure to attach your photos to it, send the email to yourself, and then check the email on your Windows 10 computer. Another alternative is to add your photos to a conversation in an iPhone chat app and open it in the Windows 10 version on your computer. Once you open the conversation on your PC, you can download all of the images in it. Apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger have Windows 10 versions free to download. However, most services also have web versions that you can access from any browser.
