How to transfer video from pc to iphone without losing quality

With the Photos app and a USB cable, you can transfer photos and videos to your computer. You can also make your photos available on all your devices with iCloud Photos.

Use iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos keeps your photos and videos safe, up to date, and available automatically on all of your Apple devices, on iCloud.com, and even your PC. When you use iCloud Photos, you don't need to import photos from one iCloud device to another. iCloud Photos always uploads and stores your original, full-resolution photos. You can keep full-resolution originals on each of your devices, or save space with device-optimized versions instead. Either way, you can download your originals whenever you need them. Any organizational changes or edits you make are always kept up to date across all your Apple devices. Learn how to set up and use iCloud Photos.

The photos and videos that you keep in iCloud Photos use your iCloud storage. Before you turn on iCloud Photos, make sure that you have enough space in iCloud to store your entire collection. You can see how much space you need and then upgrade your storage plan if necessary.

Import to your Mac

1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac with a USB cable.
2. Open the Photos app on your computer.
3. The Photos app shows an Import screen with all the photos and videos that are on your connected device. If the Import screen doesn't automatically appear, click the device's name in the Photos sidebar.
4. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust to continue.
5. Choose where you want to import your photos. Next to "Import to," you can choose an existing album or create a new one.
6. Select the photos you want to import and click Import Selected, or click Import All New Photos.
   
   
7. Wait for the process to finish, then disconnect your device from your Mac.

Import to your Windows PC

You can import photos to your PC by connecting your device to your computer and using the Windows Photos app:

1. Update to the latest version of iTunes on your PC. Importing photos to your PC requires iTunes 12.5.1 or later.
2. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your PC with a USB cable.
3. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode.
4. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust or Allow to continue.

If you have iCloud Photos turned on, you need to download the original, full resolution versions of your photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch before you import to your PC.

When you import videos from your iOS or iPadOS device to your PC, some might be rotated incorrectly in the Windows Photos app. You can add these videos to iTunes to play them in the correct orientation.

If you want to ensure photos from your iOS or iPadOS device have the best compatibility with Windows 10, try these steps:

1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, open the Settings app.
2. Tap Camera, then tap Formats.
3. Tap Most Compatible. From now on, your camera will create photos and videos in JPEG and H.264 formats.

First of all, iPhone only supports certain types of video files such as MP4, M4V, and MOV files. Thus, if you want to transfer videos from PC to iPhone for enjoyment, you will need to convert your videos to iPhone-compatible formats. When talking about how to transfer videos from PC to iPhone, iTunes may be regarded as the first choice. As the only official media player and media library application released by Apple, iTunes can manage the libraries of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You are able to transfer various kinds of videos, from a computer to iPhone with iTunes.

The following steps will show you how to transfer videos from computer to iPhone with iTunes:

Step 1. Plug the iPhone into the computer via the USB cable. iTunes should launch automatically, but if it doesn’t, manually start it on your computer.

Step 2. Click “File > Add Files to Library” at the upper left corner of the window. Then, select the video files on your computer and add them to the library.

Step 3. Click the iPhone icon in iTunes and choose “Movies” in the left sidebar. Then, check “Sync Movies” and click “Apply.“ iTunes will then sync movies to your iPhone.

However, iTunes will only sync the selected videos in the library when it is syncing videos from iTunes Library to iPhone; that is to say, iTunes will erase all the un-selected items. If you have some non-purchased videos that aren’t saved in the iTunes library, you will lose them permanently; in this circumstance, an iTunes alternative can help you solve the problem. If you are seeking for a way to transfer videos from computer to iPhone without data loss, you can use the third-party software, Leawo iTransfer, to finish the task.

The iPod/iPad/iPhone transfer software allows you to transfer files among iOS devices, iTunes, and PCs easily. With this software, you won’t have to worry about the sync of iTunes and the sizes of your video files; you can transfer all the video files you need at once, making the process all the more efficient.

Here is how to transfer videos from computer to iPhone with the iPhone transfer tool:

Then, the software will show the libraries that your iPhone has in the left sidebar. Click “Movies” in the left sidebar, and the contents will be shown in the right part of the window.

Step 2. If your Movie Library doesn’t have any files in it, the software will offer an “Add File” button in the middle of the window to help you add video files from computer. Another option is to click “File > Add > Add File/Add Folder” in the upper right corner of the window to add the necessary video files from your computer.

So, if you want to find an iTunes alternative, you have the option of selecting Leawo iTransfer. You can’t say that the software is a perfect replacement for iTunes, since it can’t update your iOS software or offer you access to a built-in app store. However, if you have some non-purchased media files, or you want to get rid of iTunes synchronization, Leawo iTransfer is a good choice; it won’t erase anything during the data transfer process.
