Posted By: laurynhilla

Here I'd like to show you two different ways to transfer photos from Mac to iPhone.

1. Transfer Photos from Mac to iPhone with iTunes

Transferring photos from Mac to iPhone with iTunes requires that you have your iPhone attached to your Mac using a cable. 

Then you just run iTunes and follow the steps below:

1) In Mac, create a folder with the photos you want to transfer. 

2) In iTunes, press your device name and switch to the Photos tab in the right panel.

3) Choose the folder you just created.

4) Click the Apply button to start syncing photos from your Mac to your iPhone.

2. Transfer Photos from Mac to iPhone without iTunes (Wirelessly)

What if your cable is not available? Or you never use iTunes to sync files? Or you worry about any data loss during the sync? Here is the way to transfer photos from Mac to iPhone without iTunes and cable. You just get Wireless Transfer App to help you. It lets you upload photos from Mac to iPhone wirelessly and instantly. Moreover, if you need to transfer photos and videos from iPhone to Mac, or between iPhone/iPad/iPod devices, you can still have this app help you. 

To transfer photos from Mac to iPhone using Wireless Transfer App:

1) Download and install Wireless Transfer App to your iPhone.
