Hi wasana288,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you need help backing up your photos from iCloud. This article has the steps to do so: Set up and use iCloud Photos.


"Download copies of your photos and videos

When you turn on iCloud Photos, your photos and videos automatically upload to iCloud. They're not duplicated in your iCloud backup, so you should keep backup copies of your library. Use the steps below to download copies of your photos and videos to your Mac or PC. Or you can import your library to your Mac or PC


Download your photos and videos from iCloud.com

  1. On iCloud.com, click Photos.
  2. Select the photos and videos that you want to download. 
  3. Click and hold the download button  in the upper-right corner of the window. If you want to download your content as it was originally captured or imported, choose Unmodified Original. For JPEG or H.264 format — including edits, and even if it was orginally in HEIF or HEVC format — choose Most Compatible.
  4. Click download.


Download photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Open the Photos app, then select one or more photos or videos. 
  2. Tap the share button .
  3. Tap AirDrop, then select the device that you want to share with. Learn more about using AirDrop.

For large numbers of photos, learn how to import your photos instead. 


Download photos and videos from your Mac

  1. On your Mac, open the Photos app.
  2. Select one or more photos or videos. 
  3. Drag the content to your desktop, or Control-click and select Share > AirDrop."


We hope this helps.


Take care.
