Transfer photos from an iPhone or Android phone to your PC on Windows 10.
- First, connect your phone to a PC with a USB cable that can transfer files.
- Turn your phone on and unlock it. Your PC can’t find the device if the device is locked.
- On your PC, select the Start button and then select Photos to open the Photos app.
- Select Import > From a USB device, then follow the instructions. You can pick the items you want to import and select where to save them. Allow a few moments for detection and transfer.
- Make sure the photos you want to import are actually on the device rather than in the cloud. Then, follow the steps for your type of device.
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. Photos and videos that you sync from your computer to your iOS device using iTunes can’t be imported back to your computer.
