With the coming of new iPhone, we know that the camera on iPhone has reached a great progress technically. It’s a good new for the people who enjoy photographing or video shooting, while there’re plenty of Apps for video editing. Although iPhone became larger screen than its predecessor, it’s still not so convenient as computer, especially when we want to add more interesting effects on a video. How will you do if you want to transfer videos from iOS device to computer? Here this post will tell you some simple ways.

Method 1: Transfer Videos to computer with iPhone software

We know that Gihosoft iPhone Data Recovery software can help you recover deleted videos from iOS device. That’s what we can tell from its name. But do you know it also can be use as a tool to move videos from iOS devices to computer? Follow these familiar steps to transfer videos from iPhone/iPad to computer (Win & Mac).
  1. Open iPhone Video Recovery on computer, and select “Videos”.
  2. Connect iPhone to computer and start scanning.
  3. Preview the scanning result and transfer videos to computer.

Method 2: Download Videos from iCloud

After iOS 8, if you’ve activated iCloud Photo Library, all your photos and videos in your iOS device will automatically be uploaded to iCloud with network available. Then after the uploading process finished, you can download videos from iCloud.
  1. Check if you’ve activated iCloud Photo Library, and connect iOS device to network.
  2. Go to iCloud.com, wait until videos fully uploaded, and then download them to computer.

Method 3: Export Videos to Computer via Windows Explorer

If you haven’t turn on iCloud Photo Library yet, this method will be the easiest way for Windows users. Every time you connect iPhone to computer, there’s a prompt pop up on the screen named “AutoPlay”, and lead you to the location of iPhone folder DCIM. Even if you don’t receive any prompt, you can find the folder yourself, and transfer videos to computer easily by copying and pasting.

Note: If you’ve turned on iCloud Photo Library and ticked on Optimise iPhone Storage, you will find nothing but hidden image in this folder.

Method 4: Import Videos from iPhone/iPad to Mac
