Usb cable to transfer photos from iphone

Do you want to transfer iPhone photos to a PC for editing or simply to view them on a larger screen? Do you want to transfer your iPhone photos to your computer so that you can free up more storage space on your iPhone?

What are The Reasons To Transfer Photos To PC

You may want to transfer the files to your PC for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the possible reasons:

• To Reduce Storage – This is one of the main reasons why you should transfer that large video or photo to your computer. Photos and videos will consume a large portion of your iPhone’s storage space.
• To Use in Email – Another reason is to include the photos or videos as an attachment to an email. When attaching large files to emails, it is sometimes preferable to use a computer rather than your iPhone.
• To Transfer Photos to Close Friends of Family– the photos could send the file to a friend or colleague. Instead of emailing the data, you can simply transfer it to your friend’s computer.

Why Not Transfer Photos from iPhone to Computer Using iTunes?

iTunes is the best tool for transferring files and other data to and from the iPhone. Except when using iTunes to transfer photos from your iPhone to your computer. Because of some feature limitations, as follows:

• Photos cannot be transferred selectively in iTunes.
• All photos organized in albums on your iPhone are not downloaded to iTunes in those albums.
• After syncing with iTunes, all photos are unreadable.
• All of your books, TV shows, music, and other data will be deleted if you sync your iPhone to iTunes on a different computer.
• Apple’s new iCloud service is also limited to 1000 photo transfers.
