How to Extract Photos from iPhone Backup

Many people may know how to back up and restore iPhones with iTunes or iCloud. But few people know how to extract one or more specific data like photos from iPhone backup. To achieve this goal, you have three options:

The first and most straightforward option is to use an iPhone backup extractor to directly extract photos from an iPhone backup. The second is to recover photos only from iCloud Drive if you've ever saved your pictures in it. The third is to restore your iPhone from an iTunes or iCloud backup that contains the photos you want. But this will get all your existing iPhone data replaced with what's in the backup, so we don't recommend this way.

Now, only two options left for this purpose. Read the below post and choose the one you wish to use.

Option 1. Use iPhone Backup Extractor

As we mentioned, the most straightforward option to extract pictures from iPhone backup is to use an iPhone backup extractor. There are many such tools on the internet. You can search for one from the internet by yourself. But if you don't have that time, just try our recommendation - EaseUS MobiSaver, a handy and functional iPhone backup extractor that lets you browse and extract one or multiple files from iTunes or iCloud backup. The best part is that it allows you to preview pictures before restoring. In this way, you don't have to worry about restoring a large number of unwanted items.

Now, let's download EaseUS MobiSaver on the computer and start extracting photos from iTunes/iCloud backup.

Step 1. Choose "Recover from iCloud"

Connect iPhone to Your PC and Launch EaseUS MobiSaver. Choose the "Recover from iCloud" button, and click "Start".

Step 2. Turn Off "Find My iPhone" 

Turn off "Find My iPhone" on your iPhone/iPad/iPod to continue.

Step 3. Type Code in the Confirmation Box

Note: This step will erase all data and reset all settings. Make sure you have backed up important information.

Step 4. Reset iPhone

Move through the iPhone setup process until you see the reset screen. Then choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" on Your phone. Enter the Apple ID and password for the account you want to restore the backup from. Then click "Next" on your PC.

Step 5. Select the Files

Step 7. Scan Lost Data and Recover

EaseUS MobiSaver will automatically scan your iCloud backup file to find the lost data. This process may take a few minutes and please wait patiently. Then, select the data you want to recover and click "Recover" button.

Option 2. Extract Pictures from iCloud Drive

If you've ever saved your photos in iCloud Drive and now need to extract them, you can directly do it via iCloud.com on a computer. But this only works to recover photos that are deleted within 30 days. Otherwise, this method won't work.

To extract pictures from iCloud backup:

Step 1. Enter icloud.com on your computer.

Step 2. Log in with your Apple ID associated with the iCloud Drive that stores the photos you wish to recover.

Step 3. Click the Photos.

Step 4. Select the photos you wish you save and download them on your computer. 

Step 5. Repeat the above steps to choose multiple images. Note: You can't select all at once.
