How to Backup Photos from iPhone to iPad?

Last Updated :

There are many apps available to help you backup photos from iPhone to iPad. But, most of them need a computer and a USB cable. You can backup your photos from iPhone to iPad by syncing with iCloud. You can use 'Photo Stream' to copy your photos between iPhone and iPad. On your iPhone and iPad, Tap 'Setting' > 'Photo Stream' > 'Turn on Photo Stream' to sync your iPhone and iPad. When you turn ON 'Photo Stream' on iPhone, all photos taken with your iPhone are synced to your other devices. To transfer or share your selected photos from iPhone to iPad, make sure "Photo Streams" and "Shared Photo Streams" are turned ON on both the devices.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
