How to send iPhone photos to iPad via email?

Last Updated :

Sending your iPhone photos to iPad via email is the most basic process and it has some limitations as well. You can only send up to five pictures as an email attachment. So, if you want to send more than 5 photos, it may be a little time consuming and may take a while if you have a slow internet connection.
  1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone. You can send up to five pictures as an email attachment to yourself. You can then open that email on your iPad and save the images to your iPad's storage.
    This method requires having the Mail app configured on both your iPhone and iPad.
  2. Find and open the image that you want to send.
  3. Tap the "Share" button. This looks like a box with an arrow coming out of the top.
  4. Select any additional photos (optional). You can scroll through and tap up to four additional photos to attach. If you select more than five photos, the "Mail" option will disappear from the Share menu.
  5. Tap the "Mail" option. This will open a new screen allowing you to compose the email message.
  6. Enter your own email address as the recipient. Since you're sending it to yourself, you don't need to fill out the subject or body.
  7. Send the message. If you're sending multiple images, it may take a few moments for the message to send.
  8. Open the mail on your iPad. After the message is sent, it should appear in your iPad's Mail app. Tap it to open it.
  9. Save the pictures. Tap the attached picture to open it. Press and hold on the image and then select "Save Image" to save it to your iPad's storage.

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!
