How do I transfer images from an iPad or iPhone to my PC quickly?

Share images from iPad
Use Windows Explorer to move your pictures to your home computer quickly and easily

If you have a lot of images on your iPad or iPhone, using the share function in the Photos app is not very efficient as it can only email five images at a time. If the device is connected to a computer, it is possible to access the photos through Windows Explorer. Connect the device to the computer, click the Start button and then Computer. The device will be listed in the Portable Devices section. Double-click it and then on the DCIM folder. All your images will be in this folder so you can drag and drop them into another folder on the computer.
