Transferring photos from phone to computer: try it yourself

Aim

You should be able to move a small batch and prove that the files arrived intact before making any deletion decision.

Do this step by step

1. Choose five unimportant photographs on the phone.
2. Create a clearly named folder on the computer.
3. Transfer the five files using your normal cable or cloud method.
4. Open every transferred file on the computer.
5. Check that the dimensions/date information look sensible.
6. Do not delete the phone copies during this practice. The purpose is to learn a verified transfer first.
