Step 2: Click drop-down menu near your device and click PC/Desktop to transfer photos from Mac to iPhone. You can choose to add photos by folder or by file.

Step 3: Go to your Mac and find the files or folders you want to transfer to iPhone and click Select folder or Open. Choose Next and check the loaded data. 

Step 4: If there are other supporting files within your folder, MobiMover will read and load them together as the sample image below. You can check what you want based on your needs. Here, select Picture only. 

Step 5: If you have missed some files, you still can load more by clicking the Add button. After this, click Transfer button to begin to transfer photos from Mac to iPhone. Please go to the Photos App to check the imported files when the process finished. 

Tip 2: Import photos from Mac to iPhone with AirDrop

AirDrop is a quite useful and convenient feature on Mac and iPhone that you can use to send photos, videos, contacts, notes, locations and more between two AirDrop-supported devices.
