How To Transfer Photos From iPhone To Dell Laptop: 5 most effective methods

You can use several proven methods to transfer photos from your iPhone to a Dell laptop. Here, I'll share five of the newest and most effective ways to get this job done smoothly.

How To Transfer Photos From iPhone To Dell Laptop All at Once 

Getting an iPhone transfer tool like EaseUS MobiMover will be quite helpful in your current case and in many other situations.

As an iOS content manager, EaseUS MobiMover works well to transfer different types of files between an iDevice and a computer, be it a PC or Mac or between two iDevices. That makes it easy for you to do things including: 

• Transfer photos from an iPhone to an iPad 
• Transfer videos from an iPhone to a PC 
• Add music to an iPhone from a computer 
• Back up WhatsApp chats to a PC 

Of course, any iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8 and later is also supported. 

Whether you want to transfer all photos from your iPhone to a Dell laptop at once or send pictures selectively, EaseUS MobiMover will satisfy your heart's content.

The next time when you need to transfer photos, videos, music, ringtones, contacts, and more to or from your iPhone, it will also help. 

To import photos from your iPhone to a Dell laptop: 

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your laptop with a USB cable and run EaseUS MobiMover. Choose "Phone to PC" on the main screen and click the "Next" button to continue. You can also go to "Content Management" > "Pictures" > "Photos" to transfer photos from iPhone to laptop selectively. 

Step 2. Make sure the "Pictures" category is selected. Other than photos, you can also transfer videos, music, ringtones, contacts, messages, and more from your iPhone to the laptop. You can change the storage path for exported files or save them on the desktop by default.  

Step 3. Click the "Transfer" button to start transferring photos from your iPhone to the laptop at a fast speed. Depending on the size of the files, it may take seconds or a while to complete the process.  

How To Transfer Photos From iPhone To Dell Laptop via File Explorer 

File Explorer works quite similarly to the Photos app: it only needs a USB cable and allows you to import iPhone photos to the Dell laptop simultaneously or selectively. 

To download photos from an iPhone to a Dell laptop: 

Step 1. Connect the iPhone to the Dell laptop with a USB cable. 

Step 2. Launch File Explorer and go to "This PC." 

Step 3. Double-click [your iPhone name] > "Internal Storage" > "DCIM." 

Step 4. If you want to transfer all iPhone photos to the laptop, copy all folders here and paste them to a folder on your Dell laptop. 

Although Photos or File Explorer doesn't need any third-party tool, it is most suitable when you need to copy all photos from your iPhone to the laptop.

As you can see, transferring some of the photos will take you time to select these items.

Therefore, you should choose the more flexible - using EaseUS MobiMoer if you want to transfer specific photos. 

How To Transfer Photos From iPhone To Dell Laptop via Cloud Services: iCloud

When there is no USB cable available, or you prefer to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Dell laptop wirelessly, cloud services will fulfill your needs well.

Popular cloud-based services, including iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Photos, are all helpful for importing photos from your iPhone to a Dell laptop. 

To use any cloud service, you should make these preparations: 

• Login into the app or site with the same account on both devices. 
• Make sure there is enough cloud storage left to save the photos. 
• Make sure there are stable network connections on both devices. 

Since all these cloud-based services work similarly, here I'd like to take iCloud Photos as an example: 

Step 1. On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > [your name] > "iCloud" > "Photos" and toggle on "iCloud Photos." 

Step 2. On your Dell laptop, visit iCloud.com and sign in with the Apple ID used on your iPhone. 

Step 3. Choose "Photos," and then you will see all synced photos from the iPhone. 

Step 4. Select the items you need to transfer and click "Download." By doing so, you can download photos from your iPhone to your Dell laptop wirelessly. 

Suppose you have downloaded and installed iCloud for Windows on your Dell laptop. In that case, you can enable iCloud Photos on your Dell laptop and set it to download iCloud photos to your computer automatically.
