Sync Photos and Videos from PC to iPhone with and without iTunes

If you have a batch of photos and videos stored in your PC hard drive, do you want to upload some great ones to your iPhone? Your uploaded photos can be then used within your iPhone social networking apps and set as your avatar. Or if you have iMovie installed to your iPhone, you can add the uploaded photos and videos to iMovie project for further editing. So, what's the easiest and quickest way to transfer photos and videos from computer to iPhone?

The common way is to turn to iTunes for help. To transfer photos from PC to iPhone, you first create a folder with the photos you want to transfer and then connect your iPhone with your PC via a cable. Open iTunes, click your device name and switch to the Photos tab in the right panel, where you can choose to sync that folder in your computer. Click the Apply button and you will get the photos downloaded to your iPhone in no time.



To transfer videos from PC to iPhone, you need to check whether or not the video files are in iPhone friendly format first. The iPhone can only accept MPEG4 video. So for non-MPEG4 video files, you need to get a video converter to turn them into MP4 files. Then you just add the videos to your iTunes library, drag and drop the videos from the Movies section to your iPhone and get them synced to your iPhone.
