I can easily transfer photos from my iPhone SE to my PC by copy / paste. But when I try to go the other direction, to load PC photos into iPhone Photos, the paste function is not active. Is there a work-around?
iPhone SE, iOS 14
If you are asking about Universal Clipboard, it doesn’t work from or to a PC. It is for Apple devices only. I’m not sure how you are able to copy from the phone and then paste them to the PC.
You can transfer photos from your PC to your phone a number of ways. You can email to hem to yourself, you can use a third party WiFi app or you can sync them using iTunes on your PC.

Not a workaround, the following is the standard workflow...
You need to “Sync” from PC to phone using iTunes for Windows
They will be half size virtual copies. Masters will always be on PC
Thank you for your reply, but I still have problems. I used an Android phone to take a picture with a resolution of 8000*6000 and occupy 16.78M in .jpg format. When I import it to the iPhone via iTunes and then check the EXIF information, It is only 1.9M in size, which is obviously greatly compressed. What should I do if I want to transfer all Android photos to the iPhone with the original resolution and size? The official “transfer to the ios” app seems to also compress the photo size.
Use another method other than sync if you need full resolution. There are probably apps for such transfer, but they may not look any different on the phone. I have never used a phone for anything but taking photos and showing the grand kids and compressed copies are ideal if the main ones are in computer.
Sorry wrong link. Should have been
Sync photos in iTunes on PC with devices - Apple Support
My link was the other direction workflow.
No worries, I had it covered in my post. 😉
Ah yes. I need to put my head above the parapet now and again!
Hello, I would like to ask,
1) Why is it only half the size?
2) Will it affect the display of these pictures?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks a lot.
So you can get twice as many on the phone. The originals on the computer are still available for printing. We often get people with 10,000 or more photos on their phone.
