iPhone's inbuilt Retina HD display makes it really enjoyable to view photos. If you already have a bunch of photos stored on your computer, you may consider moving them to your iPhone. But how?

No doubt, iTunes is definitely the first option for iPhone users when it comes to transferring photos from computer to your iPhone device. There is no exaggeration to say that most of you must be tired of the syncing process with iTunes and are looking for a more easy-to-use alternative.

In this article, we will give you the detailed steps and complete knowledge of transferring photos from computer to  iPhone with and without iTunes.

Warning: When you sync iPhone with iTunes, iTunes will erase your previous photos stored in the Photo Library on your iPhone and meanwhile, if your local network condition is not so good, the time for the transfer may be very long. If you insist on transferring photos from computer to your iPhone via iTunes anyway, please follow these steps:

Connect your iPhone to PC, run iTunes (usually iTunes will open automatically once it recognizes iOS device connection) and click the iPhone Device icon in the upper left corner of iTunes control panel. You will see the details of your iPhone.

Choose Photos, tick Sync Photos and select the photos or photo folder you want to transfer. Finally, click Apply to transfer photos from computer to your iPhone.
