7 Transfer your videos
MediaTrans can transfer videos to your PC just as easily as it
can with photos. From the main window, select Video Manager
from the top row of icons, and you’ll be presented with all the
videos you’ve recorded with your iPhone’s camera. You can select
and import them just as you did with photos, but this time they’re
saved into the Videos folder in your User folder.
8 Remove all limitations
MediaTrans is free to download, but limits the number of
photos and videos you can export per day unless you pay for a
registration key – you can either buy a one-year licence for $39.95
(£29.18), or pay $59.95 (£43.80) for a lifetime licence – it’sworthit
if you need to transfer a large number of photos and videosona
regular basis. Registering also unlocks additional features.Q5
Change default folders
By default, your images are saved on your PC in the Pictures
folder within your User folder. To change this in WinX MediaTrans,
drop down the menu from the cogwheel at the top right of the
interface, and choose Settings. From there, you’ll be able to pick
the folders the app saves photos, videos and music to by clicking
the pen icon next to their name, and navigating to a new folder.
3 Find your photos
Choose the Photo Transfer option from the top row of icons
in the app’s main view. It will think for a moment while it accesses
the data on your iPhone or iPad, then display your images sorted
by date. Drop down the arrow next to a date to see the images
taken that day, and click the checkbox next to the arrow to select
them all. Click on individual images to select them directly.

Other settings
Also in the Settings you’ll find options for converting videos
from the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Codec) introduced with
iOS 11 to the less space-saving but more commonly supported
MP4/H.264. This format is likely to be used by TVs and set-top
boxes that haven’t yet had an update to the newer filetype and, of
course, your PC will have no problem playing it.4 Export your photos
The Export button turns blue when there’s something
selected, ready to export. There’s a drop-down menu with the
option to export your files as they are, or convert HEIC (High
Efficiency Image Codec) image files to JPEG. HEIC is a file format
Apple introduced in iOS 11, and it gained Windows 10 support in
version 1809. Check the Store for a plugin if it won’t open the files.Explore
