The right method depends on whether you want a one-time copy, ongoing synchronization, or only a few downloaded pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains the safest current methods, where to find the transferred files, and what to do when the iPhone, photos, or videos do not appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not erase photos from the iPhone immediately after a transfer. First open several photos and videos on the PC, compare the item count, and make a second backup of anything irreplaceable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick answer: choose the right transfer method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use <strong>a USB cable and Microsoft Photos<\/strong> for a one-time import directly from the iPhone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <strong>iCloud for Windows<\/strong> when iCloud Photos is already enabled and you want ongoing access from the PC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <strong>iCloud.com<\/strong> when you need to download a small selection without installing an app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a large first transfer, start with a reliable USB data cable. If the iPhone uses optimized storage and some originals exist only in iCloud, use iCloud for Windows or download the originals to the iPhone before importing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before you start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepare both devices before moving a large photo library:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install pending Windows, Microsoft Store, and iPhone updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect the laptop to power.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the PC has enough free storage for the photos and videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a cable that supports data, not a charge-only cable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlock the iPhone with its passcode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the iPhone awake during the first connection and trust prompt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decide where the imported files should live on the PC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A practical destination is a dated folder inside Pictures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Pictures\\iPhone Import\\2026-08-04<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the actual import date or event name. A clear destination makes it easier to confirm what was copied and prevents several imports from becoming mixed together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: import with a USB cable and Microsoft Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the best method for making a local copy without turning on continuous cloud synchronization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: install Apple Devices for Windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple currently directs Windows users to install the <strong>Apple Devices<\/strong> app from Microsoft Store before importing from an iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Microsoft Store<\/strong> on the PC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search for <strong>Apple Devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the publisher is Apple and install the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Apple Devices once so Windows can finish its setup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the PC already recognizes the iPhone correctly, continue to the next step. Do not install random driver packages from download sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: connect, unlock, and trust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect the iPhone directly to the PC with a USB data cable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlock the iPhone using its passcode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If Windows or Apple Devices asks for access, approve it on your own PC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the iPhone displays <strong>Trust This Computer?<\/strong>, tap <strong>Trust<\/strong> o <strong>Allow<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the iPhone passcode if requested.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trusting a computer allows it to access photos, videos, and other device information. Trust only a computer you control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: import in Microsoft Photos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Start<\/strong> on Windows 11.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search for and open <strong>Photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Import<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the connected iPhone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait while Photos reads the available items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the photos and videos you want to import.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose or confirm the destination folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start the import and leave the iPhone connected and unlocked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for Photos to report that the transfer is complete.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft Photos lets you select individual items and choose where they are saved. A large library can take time to scan before thumbnails appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: verify the imported files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before disconnecting or deleting anything:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the destination folder in File Explorer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sort by <strong>Date<\/strong> o <strong>Date taken<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open several photos from different years or events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Play several videos, including a longer one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm that recent and older items are represented.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare the approximate number of imported items with your selection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy irreplaceable items to a second drive or backup destination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A successful thumbnail is not enough. Open the real file and confirm it is readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where imported iPhone photos are saved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The destination depends on the folder chosen in Microsoft Photos. Common locations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Pictures<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">or a subfolder created for the import:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Pictures\\iPhone Import<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you cannot find the files:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Photos<\/strong> and inspect the imported items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click an imported item and look for an option to open its file location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open <strong>File Explorer \u2192 Home<\/strong> and review recent files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search File Explorer for the filename shown in Photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sort the suspected destination folder by <strong>Date modified<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not run another large import until you know where the first group was stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: use iCloud for Windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use iCloud for Windows when the iPhone already uses iCloud Photos and you want photos available on the PC without repeatedly connecting a cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is synchronization, not merely a one-way USB copy. Changes made to the synchronized library can appear on other connected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set up iCloud Photos on the PC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install <strong>iCloud for Windows<\/strong> from Microsoft Store.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open iCloud for Windows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign in with the same Apple Account used on the iPhone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete Apple\u2019s identity-verification prompt if required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable or choose to sync <strong>Photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finish setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open <strong>File Explorer<\/strong> and select <strong>iCloud Photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If iCloud Photos is not listed directly in File Explorer, open <strong>Pictures<\/strong> and look for <strong>iCloud Photos<\/strong> there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download a full local copy of an iCloud photo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Files can appear as thumbnails or placeholders before the original has downloaded to the PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>File Explorer \u2192 iCloud Photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double-click a photo or video to download and view it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the item to finish downloading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open it and confirm it works without relying on a thumbnail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For important files, make a separate backup outside the synchronized iCloud Photos folder after they have fully downloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important: deletion can synchronize<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple states that in current iCloud for Windows versions, deleting or moving a photo in Microsoft Photos can also affect the library on devices where iCloud Photos is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your goal is to create a separate archive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let the originals finish downloading.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy them to a clearly separate folder or external drive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open files from that separate location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the backup before deleting or reorganizing the synchronized library.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not treat a synchronized folder as an independent backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 3: download a few photos from iCloud.com<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is convenient for a small selection when you do not want to install iCloud for Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open a trusted browser and go directly to <strong>iCloud.com\/photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign in to your Apple Account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete identity verification if prompted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select one or more photos or videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <strong>Download<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the browser\u2019s Downloads folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move the files to their permanent folder and open them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid signing in on a public or shared computer. If you must use a computer that is not yours, do not save the password, sign out completely, and remove downloaded personal files afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why some photos are missing during USB import<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When <strong>Optimize iPhone Storage<\/strong> is enabled, the iPhone can keep space-saving versions on the device while full-resolution originals remain in iCloud. A USB import cannot copy an original that is not currently stored on the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have two safe options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use iCloud for Windows to access the iCloud Photos library directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the originals to the iPhone before importing by cable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To request originals on the iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap your name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>iCloud \u2192 Photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Download and Keep Originals<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect the iPhone to power and Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the originals to download before retrying the USB import.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iPhone needs enough free space for the originals. For help creating space safely, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.askyourpc.com\/es\/docs\/iphone-storage-full-free-up-space-without-losing-photos\/\">iPhone Storage Full \u2014 Free Up Space Without Losing Photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windows does not detect the iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work through these checks in order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlock the iPhone and leave its screen on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disconnect and reconnect the cable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try a different USB port directly on the PC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid an unpowered hub or unreliable dock during troubleshooting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try another cable that supports both data and charging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the Apple Devices app and check whether the iPhone appears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restart the iPhone and the PC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update Windows, iOS, Apple Devices, and Microsoft Photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspect the iPhone charging port for visible debris without inserting metal tools.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the phone charges but never appears, the cable can still be the problem: some cables supply power without carrying data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Trust This Computer prompt does not appear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First disconnect and reconnect the unlocked iPhone. If you previously chose <strong>Don\u2019t Trust<\/strong>, Apple provides a way to reset trusted-computer decisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On the iPhone, open <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>General<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Transfer or Reset iPhone<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Reset<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Reset Location &amp; Privacy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reconnect the iPhone and respond to the trust prompt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reset Location &amp; Privacy affects more than one computer relationship and resets privacy decisions for apps. It does not erase photos, but you may need to grant location, camera, microphone, or other permissions again later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid resetting network settings merely to fix a missing trust prompt unless Apple\u2019s current support steps specifically require it and simpler steps have failed; doing so removes saved network-related settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Microsoft Photos finds the iPhone but shows no items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try these checks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep the iPhone unlocked while Photos scans it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait several minutes for a large library.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the photos are actually stored on the iPhone rather than only in iCloud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Close Photos, reconnect the phone, and reopen Photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import a small selection before attempting the entire library.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update Microsoft Photos and Apple Devices through Microsoft Store.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use iCloud for Windows if optimized originals are not on the phone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not repeatedly disconnect the cable while an import is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The import stops, freezes, or fails partway through<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large videos, damaged cables, sleep settings, limited disk space, and a very large library can interrupt an import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect the laptop to power.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the destination drive has free space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the iPhone unlocked and awake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a direct USB port and a known-good cable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import in smaller date ranges or batches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start with photos, then import large videos separately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep a note of the last successfully imported date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a batch fails, do not delete the partial destination. Verify what arrived, create a new folder for the retry, and reconcile the two groups carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HEIC photos or HEVC videos will not open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent iPhones can capture efficient HEIF\/HEIC photos and HEVC videos. These formats preserve quality while reducing file size, but an outdated Windows app or missing format support can cause opening or playback problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Update Windows and Microsoft Photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try opening the file in the current Photos app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the original file unchanged while testing compatibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use Apple\u2019s iCloud or Photos workflow before relying on an unknown conversion website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For future captures, Apple offers <strong>Settings \u2192 Camera \u2192 Formats \u2192 Most Compatible<\/strong>. This makes future photos use JPEG and future videos use H.264, improving compatibility with Windows. It does not retroactively convert the existing library and can use more storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photos imported twice or appear as duplicates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duplicates can happen when several methods are mixed or the destination changes between imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use one primary import method for each batch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a folder named with the import date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Record the date range transferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let Microsoft Photos identify new items when possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare filenames, capture dates, file sizes, and image contents before deleting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not use an automated duplicate remover on the only copy of a photo library.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live Photos, edited versions, burst photos, and paired photo\/video assets can resemble duplicates while containing different data. Review them visually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is transferring the same as backing up?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>transfer<\/strong> moves or copies files from one place to another.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>sync<\/strong> keeps a library aligned across devices and can propagate deletions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>backup<\/strong> is a separate recoverable copy that is not your only working library.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For irreplaceable photos, keep at least two verified copies in different places. For example, keep a working copy on the PC and a second copy on an external drive or reputable backup service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.askyourpc.com\/es\/docs\/organizing-and-backing-up-files-keep-your-data-safe-and-synced\/\">Organizing and Backing Up Files<\/a> guide can help with folder structure, but avoid destructive mirror commands until you understand exactly how deletions will be handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A safe transfer checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this checklist before removing photos from the iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The transfer or download reported completion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You know the exact destination folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several photos from different dates open on the PC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several videos play with sound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The approximate item count matches your selection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full-resolution originals\u2014not only thumbnails\u2014are available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irreplaceable files have a second verified copy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You understand whether the destination is a normal folder or synchronized iCloud library.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have watched for Live Photos, edited versions, and other paired assets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only then do you consider removing items from the iPhone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fuentes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/120267\">Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC \u2014 Apple Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-US\/Windows\/Apps\/Photos\/import-photos-and-videos-from-phone-to-pc\">Import photos and videos from a phone to a PC \u2014 Microsoft Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/icloud-windows\/set-up-icloud-for-windows-icwee190673a\/icloud\">Set up iCloud for Windows on your PC \u2014 Apple Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-ca\/guide\/icloud-windows\/icw2ed20ffd1\/icloud\">Download and view iCloud Photos on your Windows computer \u2014 Apple Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/108994\">Use iCloud Photos on your PC \u2014 Apple Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-ca\/108643\">If your computer does not recognize your iPhone or iPad \u2014 Apple Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/iphone\/sync-photos-videos-icloud-iph961b96c4d\/ios\">Back up and sync your photos and videos with iCloud \u2014 Apple Support<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Apple, Microsoft, iOS, iCloud, and Windows interfaces change over time.
