How to copy photos from iPhone. How to copy photos

Hello! I'm sure each of you takes pictures on your phone and takes them often and in large quantities. Well at least I use my iPhone as a camera every day. After all, the phone is always at hand, and the built-in camera has long learned to take decent pictures. And no matter what you photograph, sooner or later it all needs to go somewhere. If the free space on your iPhone is approaching zero, and the folder with photos has swelled to indecent sizes, I suggest copy photos from iPhone to computer. Let's talk about this today!

Again, there is simply NO SINGLE METHOD for copying photos from an iPhone. There are quite a few ways to get your photos onto HDD computer. It would probably be nice to set up automatic synchronization between iPhone and your computer via iCloud. But as life experience shows, for many users these concepts are still the highest matter. Therefore, we will look at synchronizing a photo album via iCloud in another article, and today we will figure out how to SIMPLY take and transfer photos from iPhone to computer. Well, so as not to configure anything and not wait for half a day... We decided - we did it!

  • How to retrieve data from a locked iPhone? —
  • How to free up space on iCloud? —
  • What do you have to do before selling iPhone or iPad -
  • How to restore iPhone to factory settings -

As usual, I provide several for you to choose from. various methods, which from my point of view are the most normal and working. Here are the main ways to copy photos from iPhone to computer, which I myself regularly use.

Send photo to your email

Everything is clear here. You can send it to your email box photos, and then save them on your computer by opening the sent letter. This method I really like it, but there are a couple of BUTs. Firstly, you need an Internet connection. Secondly, it’s inconvenient to send a lot of photos this way... Although it depends on who. Well, in general, you understand. If you don't know how to do this, here's a little guide:

STEP 1 Go to photographic film and press the Select button

STEP 2 Select the photos that need to be sent by mail. ATTENTION!!! You can only attach 5 photos at a time (to one email).

STEP 3 Press the button in the lower left corner (square and up arrow) and select Mail from the menu that opens. Now all you have to do is enter your email address and send the letter.

Next we go to our Mailbox and save the photos from there to your computer. This method is very helpful when you don’t have a cable in your hands, but you have the Internet. The downside is that you can only attach 5 photos to one letter. If there are too many photos, you will have to send a lot of letters. And one more small nuance - email must be configured on your iPhone. In general, in this way you can transfer photos to any device on which you can open mail and view photos.

iPhone as a USB drive (PC users)

If you are the happy owner of a Windows PC, then you should not have any problems copying photos from your iPhone to your hard drive. In the majority Windows cases recognizes the iPhone as a flash drive and adds a device to Explorer, the contents of which can be viewed. Here's a good example.

STEP 1 Connect iPhone using USB cable to the computer. Your device will be recognized and your choice will be presented standard set actions

STEP 2 From this list, only the first two points are suitable for us “ Importing photos and videos" And " Open device to view files" If you chose the second point, don’t flatter yourself too much. No one will take you to system files won't let him in, but on the inside iPhone storage you will only find folders with photos. As you can see in the picture below, there are really a lot of folders there. I don’t understand why Apple coded everything this way, because now to find one single photo you need to go through a bunch of folders. Try sorting by date and time of creation to at least somehow navigate the space.

STEP 3 If you still select the “ Importing photos and videos", then such a window will appear in front of you. Everything should be clear here without my blah-blah-blah... Select the folder into which we want to copy the photos and click OK. All photos and videos from the phone are copied. They don't let us choose just one or two.

Image Capture (MAC Users)

Once again, I'm amazed at how Apple thought through their OS X operating system. They knew (and it's fucking obvious) that people would connect all sorts of image and video capture devices to the MAC. That is why OS X has a built-in utility called Image Capture, with which you can access photos even if the device where they are stored is not recognized by the computer as storage media. Using this program I'm transcribing the footage and photos from GoPro cameras and sometimes from iPhone.

STEP 1 Connect iPhone to MAC with USB help cable and launch the application " Image Capture»

STEP 2 Select the photos needed for import and click Import. To select multiple photos, hold down the Command button.

E-may! Everything is always so complicated at Apple!

iFunBox File Manager (PC and MAC users)

What? None of the methods above worked??? ... Well, you are harmful!... And disgusting! Then try it iFunBox(DOWNLOAD). This file manager for Windows and MAC, which allows you to copy documents, videos, photos and other files to and from your computer iOS device.

As a rule, the Image Capture program launches itself after connecting an iPhone or other device with which it can work. But if automatic start did not work, then you can run this program manually. The easiest way to do this is to resort to Spotlight search. To do this, click on the search icon in the upper right corner of the screen and enter “Image capture” in the search bar that appears.

Open the image and press the button Print Screen. Next we open Paint and in the white window that opens, press the combination Ctrl+V or simply right click mouse and select " Insert"Next, save the photo to your computer (or edit it).

2. More tricky way(used on Opera browser.

First, let's select the image we want to get in high resolution


As we see in photo 2, there’s no way to copy it (what a pity!). Let's do it simply. If there is more than one photo that we want to get, we look through each one. Then open new tab and in the very top line ( command line, where the addresses of the pages are entered) enter the command opera:cache . We present to your attention a list of all the addresses you have been to. Among them we look for the address of the desired site


When found, click on the link " Preview". And this is what we get

Please pay attention to the required photo. As you can see, it weighs more than the others (those that we did not open), and the format is larger. Next, click on the link on the left side opposite the photo (with permission .raw) And....
VOILA! our photo is in large format and can now be saved without any obstacles!
