How to get photos from iCloud

from iCloud backup

If iCloud Photos is disabled on your device and your photos are not in iCloud, it means that they are included in iCloud backups. You can look for one, see what your iCloud backup contains and save these files to a PC with CopyTrans Backup Extractor.

1. Download and install CopyTrans Backup Extractor by clicking on the link below:
   Download CopyTrans Backup Extractor
   If you need help, please refer to the installation guide.

2. On the welcome screen, choose Log in to iCloud for more backups.

   

3. Enter your Apple ID and password.

   

4. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you will also need to enter a verification code sent to your device.

   

5. There you are! After a short search, CopyTrans Backup Extractor will display all your backups, both on PC and in iCloud. iCloud backups are marked with a cloud icon, while PC backups have a folder icon next to them.

   

6. To download iCloud photos, choose the backup that contains your photos. If the backup is encrypted, enter the backup password to proceed.

   

7. Click on Photos.

   

8. Finally, select the folder you want to extract the photos to and wait for the process to complete. Voila! You can now click Open containing folder to see all the extracted photos.

   

9. Your photos are successfully retrieved from the backup! You can now transfer them to your iPhone.

How to restore photos from iCloud

to iPhone

If your photos are not in iCloud (they weren’t synced), it means they are included in iCloud backups. You can now restore photos from iСloud directly to your iPhone using iCloud restore. But this method has some huge disadvantages:

❌ you won’t be able to restore only iCloud photos;
❌ restore will erase all other data on your iPhone first.

If you would like to selectively restore photos from iCloud to iPhone, use CopyTrans Backup Extractor: it will find your iCloud backups and extract data to your PC. After that, you can easily import them to the device.

If you wish to proceed with Erase and Restore, follow the steps below:

1. First of all, let’s make sure that you have a valid iCloud backup. Go to Settings and tap on your name > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups.



2. To restore photos from iCloud backup, go back to Settings and choose General. Scroll down and find the Reset tab. Choose Erase All Content and Settings. Select Erase now.
   TIP: If you are not comfortable with erasing your data, try taking a roundabout route.



3. After the reset, your iPhone will reboot and take you through the setup steps. Once you are offered to restore your device from an old backup, choose the backup with your iCloud photos.

How to download iCloud photos

directly to your iPhone

One of the most obvious ways of getting iCloud photos on iPhone is actually hidden in the iPhone Settings. The major drawback of this method is that you have no control over the downloading process and have no estimate of the download time. If you don’t mind waiting, check the Apple guide or follow the instruction below:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings. Tap on your name > iCloud. Select Photos, then toggle off iCloud Photos (or iCloud Photo Library for older iOS versions). Make sure that you have opted to Download and Keep Originals.
2. Now, all you have to do is wait until your iCloud photos are downloaded to the iPhone. Make sure that you have a strong Wi-Fi connection. It’s even better to leave it working overnight.
