My opinion on PrimoPhoto
PrimoPhoto is safe and can help transfer a lot of photos from iPhone to computer directly based on my test. The interface of PrimoPhoto is easy to use for users. And the transferring process is very fast.
At the same time, PrimoPhoto provides other useful features, including importing your photo from computer to device, turning Live Photos and other videos to shareable GIFs, and even reclaiming more free storage for your iOS device, etc. If you are interested in these features, PrimoPhoto is a good choice.
Based on my testing result, under the feather “Export To PC”, the photos are divided into three types: Camera Roll, Photo Library and Albums, which can meet different users’ needs. What’s more, it allows users to choose the saved path on the computer. When I use PrimoPhoto to transfer photos from iPhone to computer, I didn’t encounter any technical issues (like crashing, etc.).
Given my testing result, I think PrimoPhoto is a good iOS photo content transfer tool. And I really like its simple interface. If you just want to focus on managing and transferring photos of device, you can give the trial version of PrimoPhoto a try.
