How to Transfer Photos and Videos from Computer to iPhone

Learn how to take photos and videos from your computer and bring them to your Apple iPhone without any cables and without installing any software. This works regardless of your operating system (Windows or Mac) and only requires a web browser.
In this video, I walk through how to access icloud.com, how to upload a photo, how to upload a video, and then how to see the photo and video on your iPhone.

[@KevinStratvert]

If you're looking to transfer photos and videos in the other direction (from your iPhone to your computer), watch the following video: ruclips.net/video/rrBKH55YqLE/видео.html

[@MercyMe4931]

Thank you so much! About a year ago, I transferred several years worth of pictures and videos from my phone to my computer to free up storage on my older iPad because my grandson loved making silly videos (the devices sync) and I wasn't able to add any more storage to the iPad. I spent hours doing that, then more hours backing them up to a thumb drive in case the computer died because I didn't realize that taking them off of my phone would also take them off of the Cloud. He no longer makes videos and I've been trying to figure out how to put everything back on my phone. You helped make it simple and fast! And I'm thrilled that everything went back on my phone in the date order of when the pictures/videos were taken.

This is the first video to actually explain it correctly! Thank you so much for making this and Merry Christmas!

I took 72 pictures of myself on my pc and this made the process so so easy! You're a great help!

[@progeamer3128]

Thank you for this, perfect example for a good tutorial. Quickly to the subject and clear instructions.

[@TheOutlander_365]

Thank you man! I can’t wait to do this! I really like making RUclips videos so making gameplay videos from computer to phone makes everything so much easier! Thank you man 🙏

[@sighkorns2688]

Thank you for making an actual quick, simple, and helpful video.

[@augysas]

Awesome tutorial, thank you! Also I noticed how proud father you are when you smiled at the photos and videos and I love it!

[@SomeGalwithaYTaccount]

Yay! This works! Thank you for making an easy to understand video and going through the time and effort to make into a video so that everyone can do this

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you!!!! This was super easy! I have been trying to figure out how to transfer videos I made on my PC to instagram. However, Instagram (it seems) will only allow you to upload images and videos from your phone, not your PC. Your video was the perfect work around!

[@PYTalkBiz]

Thanks, Kevin, this is exactly what I was looking for, when I typed in my request and saw that you had a video, immediately, I knew it was a done deal. You know your stuff.

[@sintana1497]

[@water55667]

Hey everyone, just thought id share with all of you how I ended up doing it. This tactic didn't work for me for some reason, but I had an idea and gave it a shot. What I did was email the files to myself and from my phone I just saved them to my camera roll. Not sure if there are any down sides to this, but it worked for me. Felt like Einstein, but also gave my myself a smack on the head LOL. Have a great day and hopefully this works for you guys too.

oh my god!! i’ve been wondering how to do this for ages!! thank you for making this video it helped a lot

[@jeffgibson8655]

Appreciate this video Kevin! I've been attempting to clear up issues with my moms iPhone when my brother thought he would get creative and put his Apple ID on her iPad back about a year and a half ago. He switched it back to her email address and basically lost the ability to log into that secondary Apple ID/Email. Long and the short, I've been pulling pictures and videos off the cloud account for the phantom Apple ID and moving them over to her true Apple ID. Pictures were easy enough to drag over, however, for the life of me I could not figure out how to get the video files back to her iPad. I see now how I can pass them to the iCloud, open it on the device, then save it to the camera roll (which makes access much easier for my 80yo mom). Thanks again for all your help through the channel.

How do u save it it only says copy

[@ramomuno]

Jada Giddings I figured it out! First after you have downloaded just tap on it and then it should play and then press the share the share button and it should say save video I hope This helped

[@ramomuno]

CrustyonionDev then if u can hold the file and hit move and then you can move it to imovie
