Create albums on your iPad or iPhone

1. Before copying photos to and from your device, you need to learn how to create new photo albums.

   To create a new album, click on the green photos symbol on the top left.

   

2. Next, enter a name for the ablum and click on “OK”.

Your albums will be created in the iPhone Photo Library, not in the Camera Roll. Camera Roll only stores the pictures you have taken with the iPhone.

   Use the Explorer to open a new folder and then click on the “+” button on top of the PC pane.

   

2. To close the shortcut, right-click on it and select the “Close tab” option from the pop-up menu.

Convert HEIC to JPEG when transferring to PC

Change the order of photos in Photo Library

In a Photo Library album, place the photos in the desired order using drag and drop.

Transfer live photos to PC and back

CopyTrans Photo transfers live photos to PC as a pair of files: a JPEG or HEIC and a short MOV video file so you can enjoy the live moment on your PC.

If you want to upload this photo to another iOS device, the program will glue it back together.

Keep EXIF data intact

Don’t worry about the EXIF data getting lost when transferring photos. CopyTrans Photo transfers images including all the embedded information: GPS coordinates, date, time, device model, etc.

Apply changes to iPhone, iPad or iPod

Finally, click on the “Apply changes” button to save all the modifications you’ve made. In case you don’t want the changes to take effect, just click on the circle arrow in the top-left corner to refresh the program.

Well, that’s it! We hope you’ll enjoy using CopyTrans Photo.
