iclould photo backup to pc file size
The goal of this post is to get high res photos (4032 x 3024) in your icloud photo folder in your windows PC
or say the questions is how to make icloud save high res photos automatically backups to your windows pc.
some said no, but yes it can be done.
So once you installed the icloud for windows, icloud photo will show up in your folder. And like most of people said, pictures backups are 2048 x 1536. If you want high res photo, you have to go to web browser and log onto icloud and click on the download arrow and chose download original to get 4032 x 3024.
Ok hold right here. For this method, If your iphone-setting-camera- high efficiency photo, then a HEIC file will be downloaded into your download folder instead of jpe. Yes it is in 4032 x 3024 but this is NOT what I want.
I want to simply go to your icloud photo folder in your PC and every pictures in there are automatically downloaded as 4032 x 3024 in jpg. But so far after almost 6 hours on google search and countless youtube videos. I still cant find any result.
The reason why I know it can be done is because, I have two computers. both are PC, the older one is windows 7 and the new one is windows 10. For some reason, the old pc windows 7 get pictures in the icloud photo folder are 4032 x 3024 under icloud automatically backup. But my windows 10 pc only got 2048 x 1536 and Windows 10 is a newer PC.
The phone i used was iphone 7 plus. But same pic, same backup(automatically) method but the pictures become two different size into two different computers. But before I can figure out why, i upgraded my phone to iphone 12 pro max. And ever since that both folders are now 2048 x 1536. If I used drop down arrow method, it will only gave me HEIC files in 4032.
I cant remember what have I done to the windows 7 pc. nor how did I triggered it. Only thing I could have think was that I might accidentally plugged my iphone into my PC's USB and downloaded itunes and tweaked my photo backup setting a bit, just cant remember how I did it.
So please help me out guys, I really want to have 4032 file size photos backed up to my PC automatically without manually download them.
