You don’t need any special software to transfer photos and videos from an iPhone to a Windows PC. You don’t even need iTunes. All you need is the Lightning-to-USB cable you use for charging.
In fact, Apple’s iTunes software doesn’t even have a built-in way to copy photos from your iPhone to your PC.
It does have a photo sync feature, but that’s just for copying photos from your PC to your iPhone.Use File Explorer or Windows Explorer
Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer using the included Lightning-to-USB cable to get started. This is the same cable you use for charging your phone.

The first time you connect it to your computer, you’ll see a popup asking you to trust your computer (if you have iTunes installed) or allow access to your photos and videos (if you don’t have iTunes installed). Tap “Trust” or “Allow” to give your computer access to your photos. You may have to unlock your iPhone before you see this popup.
Your iPhone appears as a new device under “This PC” in File Explorer on Windows 10 or “Computer” in Windows Explorer on Windows 7. Head here and double-click it.
If you don’t see the iPhone under This PC or Computer, unplug the iPhone, plug it back in, and ensure it’s unlocked.
Double-click the “DCIM” folder inside the iPhone device. Your photos and videos are stored in a 100APPLE folder. If you have lots of photos and videos, you’ll see additional folders named 101APPLE, 102APPLE, and so on.
If you use iCloud to store photos, you’ll also see folders named 100Cloud, 101Cloud, and so on.The standard DCIM folder is the only thing you’ll see on your iPhone. You can’t access any other files on your iPhone from here.
You’ll see your photos as .JPG files, videos as .MOV files, and screenshots as .PNG files. You can double-click them to view them right from your iPhone. You can also copy them to your PC using either drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste.
If you delete an item in the DCIM folder, it’s removed from your iPhone’s storage.
