Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the computer with a USB cable.

Step 2: If you are the first time to connect your device to this computer, you will need to tap "Allow" on your iPhone to allow the computer to access the iPhone.

Step 3: Open the Photos app on your PC by using the Windows Start menu or search bar.

Step 4: After the Photos app is opened, click the "Import" button in the upper right corner of your screen. In the drop-down menu, just select the "From a USB device."

Method 3: Transfer photos from iPhone to PC running Windows 7/8/10 using Windows Explorer

Windows Explorer (called File Explorer in Windows 10) is another option that allows you to transfer photos from iPhone to PC without iTunes or any other software. By using this method, all your pictures and videos will be contained in one folder instead of an album, which makes it difficult for you to transfer specific photos. 

Tip 1: Transfer all pictures and videos from iPhone to PC

Step 1: Unlock your iPhone and connect it to your PC. When a prompt pops up on your iPhone asking you whether to trust this computer, click "Trust".

Step 2: Open "This PC" on your computer, go to "[your iPhone name] > Internal Storage > DCIM > 100APPLE".

Step 3: Choose to copy the whole folder or some items from iPhone to your computer according to your needs.

Tip 2: Import photos and videos from iPhone to PC

Step 1: Unlock your iPhone and connect it to your PC. When a prompt appears on your iPhone asking you whether to trust this computer, click "Trust".

Step 2: Open"This PC", right-click your "device name" and choose "Import pictures and videos".

Step 3: In the pop-up window, select "Review, organize and group items to import or Import all new items now".

Step 4: If you choose the former option, you will see your iPhone photos and videos grouped by date and item, and you can select the folders/files to import as you like. If you choose the latter, the importing process will start automatically.

Remember, if the iPhone pictures are not showing up in Windows, make sure the iPhone is unlocked first.

Method 4: Copy pictures from iPhone to PC without iTunes via iCloud

If you have less than 5GB photos and videos to upload from your iPhone to the computer, then using Apple's iCloud service is a great option. The process of importing photos is very slightly different depending on whether you have downloaded iCloud for Windows. If you have downloaded iCloud for Windows, then you'll need our first option, and if you haven't downloaded iCloud for Windows you'll need the second. Before using either of them, first of all, you'll need to enable iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone. Here's how to do it. Go to "Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos" and turn on "iCloud Photo Library" on your iPhone, then follow one of the tips below to copy photos from your iPhone to your PC.

Option 1: Sync photos from iPhone to PC via iCloud Control Panel

Step 1: Run iCloud for Windows on your computer.

Step 2: Click "Options" next to "Photos"and enable "iCloud Photo Library".

Step 3: Make sure the "Download new photos and videos to my PC" is turned on. If you need to change the location of uploaded photos, tap on "Change" under this option to set another storage path for your iPhone photos. (If you need to transfer photos from PC to your iPhone, click the checkbox next to the "Upload new photos and videos from my PC" option.)

Step 4: Then your iPhone photos will be copied to your computer when there is WiFi available.

Option 2: Download iPhone photos to computer via iCloud.com

Step 1: Go to visitiCloud.com from your PC.

Step 2: Enter your Apple ID to sign in to iCloud. (Make sure you have signed in to iCloud on your iDevice and computer with the same Apple ID.)

Step 3: Choose "Photos"among the options.

Step 4: Select the photos you'd like to download from iCloud to your PC and then click the "Download Selected items" icon at the top right corner of your screen. (Press "Alt" to select multiple items.)

Method 5: Send images from iPhone to PC via email

It's much easier to send images from iPhone to PC by email. Simply send an email that contains the photos you want to copy to yourself, then check the mail on your computer and download the items. Here are the detailed steps.

Step 1: Go to the "Photos"app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Choose the album and select the photos you want to transfer from your iPhone to the PC.

Step 3: Tap on the "share"button and choose "Mail".

Step 4: Enter the information needed and click "Send".

Step 5: Check the email on your computer and download the photos to it.

Method 6: Import pictures from iPhone to computer with cloud service

Apart from the methods mentioned above, cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive also offer photo-upload service. But most of them have limits on storage space - 2GB for Dropbox, 7GB for OneDrive, and 15 GB for Google OneDrive. You have to purchase more space if you have a lot of photos and videos to transfer, which might cost you a small fortune. If you are a budget user, then you can go back to use Method 1 to transfer photos from iPhone to PC without limit on storage (Depending on your computer's storage). Here we will take Google Drive, for example.

Step 1. Download and install Google Drive on your iPhone > Open the app and tap the "+" icon > Tap "Upload" > Tap "Photos and Videos" > Choose the photos you want to send to your computer.

Step 2. Download and install Google Drive application on your PC > Find a folder called "Google Drive" on your PC > Open it to check if all uploaded photos are there.
