How do i get my photos from my PC to my iphone?

[Zeke_]

So I just picked up a new iphone yesterday and i want to get all of my pictures off of my PC and on to my new phone. I know theres a way you can do it through iCloud but thats not an option for me as i saved all my pictures/videos to the photos app in windows. Why isnt there just an easy way to put them back on to my new one?

I'm not to informed on this but I know someone who used AnyTrans for iOS to do something like this. https://www.imobie.com/anytrans/iphone-manager.htm

I would recommend looking up how safe it is and if it can actually do what you're requesting. As for the photos app all the image files should still be actual files on your computer so I wouldn't worry about that. Just make sure AnyTrans can actually transfer files to you iphone. Good luck!

You have a few options. 

 

You can get a camera connection kit from Apple or any other 3rd party and transfer your photos via an SD card. (This is the easiest and most recommend imo)

 

You could use iTunes to transfer your photos, but iTunes puts those all into a special folder on your iPhone which is not editable ?

 

You can log into iCloud.com and upload photos that way. Please note Apple only supports uploaded of pictures with png or jpeg file types,

I cant remember which one it is off the top of my head though.....

 

You can install iCloud for Windows and upload photos to iCloud Photos through FileExplorer. However this system has burned me in the past and last I checked, photos are not never removed, only added in FileExplorer. So sensitive photos that you delete from your iPhone, may not delete from your PC. This might have changed since I last used it though. 

 

You can use a service like Google photos/ Drive or iCloud Drive. 

 

and finally, you can always email/text yourself the photos lol
