Content Mover
Read full descriptionHide full description
Content Mover transfers photos and videos from your iPhone to your computer over a trusted local Wi-Fi network. The receiver saves the files on your computer. Choose files manually, pick capture dates, select the latest items, or send all photos and videos in batches of up to 300. Sending the whole library requires full access to Photos. Manual selection works with limited access. Preview your selection before starting the transfer. For Live Photos, choose whether to include the short video alongside the still image. Regular videos are always included when selected. Connect to an up-to-date receiver on your computer. Discover it on your network, scan its QR code, or enter its address. Track progress and check results in transfer history. Checksums verify the files saved on your computer. If the transfer pauses, return to the app to resume the saved queue. Requires iOS 17 or later. Your original media stays in Photos. No account, ads, or in-app purchases.
