FAQs on How to Transfer Photos from One iCloud to Another iCloud

1. How do I transfer all photos from one iCloud account to another?

You need to download all photos from the old iCloud account to a device like a Mac or PC. Then sign out of the old account, sign in with the new iCloud account, and upload the photos. You can also use Shared Albums or third-party tools to simplify the process, especially for large photo libraries.

2. How to merge photos from two different iCloud accounts?

To merge photos, first download photos from both accounts to a local device. Then, upload all the photos to one iCloud account to combine them. Using Shared Albums allows sharing photos between accounts without moving files physically, but true merging requires manual download and upload.

3. Are there limits on how many photos can be transferred at once?

Yes, iCloud.com limits downloading or uploading to 1,000 photos per operation. For larger transfers, you need to repeat the process multiple times or use a dedicated transfer tool to handle bulk photo migration efficiently.
