How to transfer photos from your iPhone to your computer

Preserving all those wonderful iPhone photos is easy with AnyTrans for iOS.

As you take more and more photos on your iPhone, your iPhone starts to accumulate a large number of photos in its storage. It is advisable to have these photos transferred to your computer and that is exactly what you will learn in the below post.

If there is one thing that has seen really significant improvements made to the iPhone, it is the iPhone’s camera. Over the last few years, the company has tried almost everything to make sure the camera on the iPhone can capture DSLR quality images. This is evident if you have seen photos captured by the latest models of the iPhone.

If you own one of the latest models of the iPhone and you love capturing photos, you may have likely gathered hundreds, if not thousands, of photos on your device. While the phone captures some amazing quality photos, there is a storage restriction on your iPhone that limits how many photos you can store on your device.

If you have already exceeded the limit or if you are about to cross it, you may want to transfer some of your photos from your iPhone to your computer to free up your iPhone’s memory space. Transferring photos to your computer gives you two benefits: it frees-up your memory and creates a backup of your precious memories to your machine.

Why to Use AnyTrans for iOS to Transfer Photos

While you can always use the iTunes app to create a full backup of your iPhone, you will not be able to extract your photos from the backup should you ever want to view your photos.

Fortunately, though, there is an app that removes the iTunes hassle from your life and provides you with a simpler way to transfer photos from your iPhone to your computer. The app is called AnyTrans for iOS and it is your all-in-one iPhone data transfer solution.

There are a number of reasons as to why you should use this app over iTunes to transfer your photos. Some of these reasons are:

Reason 1. Categorized Transfers

When you start to transfer your photos, the app lets you choose the type of photos you would like to transfer from your iPhone. You can choose Camera Roll, Photo Library, Screenshots, and so on.

It even lets you transfer the albums that you have manually created on your device. So if there is a particular album or albums that you would like transferred to your computer, this feature will let you do it.

Reason 2. Folder Structure Preservation

When your photos are transferred to your computer, the app preserves the folder structure and you will find your photos on your computer in the exact same folder structure as they were on your iPhone.

This way you will be able to easily find the photos you want to view on your machine.

Reason 3. Transfer All or Selected Photos

The app lets you either transfer all the photos from your iPhone to your computer or you can manually select photos to be moved to your machine.

You are not forced to choose any one option. Feel free to use it however it fits your needs.

Reason 4. Lose-less Transfer of Photos

The great thing about the app is that it does not compress or optimize your photos while your photos are transferred to your computer. It preserves the actual format and quality of your photos.

Reason 5. Incompatibility Conversion

The recent models of the iPhone capture photos in the HEIC format which is not widely popular and compatible yet. Fortunately, the app finds out such photos on your device and converts the photos before they are sent to your computer.
