How to Transfer Photos from Phone to PC & laptop Windows (Best Method)
Transferring photos from your phone to a Windows PC or laptop is a common task, and there are several effective methods. The "best method" depends on your situation, but for most users, a wired connection offers the most speed and reliability.
Here are the best methods, from the most reliable to the most convenient.
Method 1: The USB Cable Method (Best for Reliability & Speed)
This is the fastest and most dependable way to transfer a large number of photos and videos. It doesn't rely on your internet connection and is a direct file-to-file transfer.
What you'll need: A USB cable that can transfer data (the one that came with your phone is best).
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable.
Unlock your phone. A notification will appear on your phone, likely saying "Charging this device via USB."
Tap on the notification. A menu of USB options will appear. Select "File Transfer" (or "MTP"). This allows your computer to see your phone's internal storage.
Open File Explorer on your PC (press the Windows key + E). Your phone should appear under "This PC" or "Devices and drives."
Find your photos. Double-click your phone's icon, then navigate to "Internal shared storage." Most photos and videos are in the DCIM folder, specifically in the Camera sub-folder. Screenshots are usually in the Pictures folder.
Copy all photos. Select the folders or individual photos you want to transfer, then drag and drop them to a folder on your computer's hard drive.
