How can I get my iPhone’s images onto my computer? You can adhere to these methods to transfer images from an iPhone to a computer: Use a USB cord to link your iPhone to your computer. On your computer, launch the file explorer (Windows Explorer for Windows or Finder for macOS) or finder according to your operating system. Your iPhone should be listed as a linked device in the file explorer or finder. To open it, click on it. Look for the “DCIM” folder in the iPhone’s folder. The images and movies on your iPhone are housed in this folder. Once you open the “DCIM” folder, a number of folders with names like “100APPLE,” “101APPLE,” and so forth should be visible. Access the folder containing the pictures you want to move. The final folder usually contains the most recent images.

Pick the pictures you want to move. To pick multiple photographs, you can drag them into place or click each one while holding down the Ctrl key (Command on a Mac). After choosing the required pictures, right-click any of them and pick “Copy” from the context menu. As an alternative, you can press Ctrl+C on your keyboard (Command+C on a Mac). Use your computer’s navigational tools to find the folder where you wish to keep the transferred pictures. Within the folder, perform a right-click and select “Paste” from the context menu. As an alternative, you can use Ctrl+V on your keyboard (Command+V on a Mac).

Be patient as your iPhone copies the photos to your PC. The quantity and size of the photographs affect how long it takes. After the transfer is finished, you can safely unplug your iPhone from the device using the proper file explorer or finder option to eject it. The chosen iPhone images should now be transferred to and stored on your computer after you’ve completed these procedures.
