FrameDrop: Camera Import

FrameDrop makes it easy to bring photos from your camera to your iPhone or iPad. Connect a supported USB camera, or choose a memory-card folder in Files, preview your shots and transfer only the photos you want.

PREVIEW BEFORE YOU TRANSFER Browse photos in a date-grouped grid or open Gallery for a closer look. Swipe between shots, zoom into details and use the thumbnail strip to find your favorites.

SEE THE DETAILS BEHIND THE SHOT View available camera, lens and exposure information, including shutter speed, aperture, ISO and focal length. Expand the EXIF sections to explore more metadata when your source provides it.

SAVE WHERE YOU WANT Transfer to Apple Photos or choose a folder in Files, including supported external storage and cloud locations. FrameDrop remembers your preferred destination.

ORIGINALS OR LIGHTER JPEGs Keep JPEG, HEIF and RAW originals in their original format, or create optimized JPEG copies with your preferred output size. Save matching RAW and JPEG/HEIF originals together or separately in Apple Photos.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR IMPORTS Follow transfer progress and see which photos have been saved. Use import history to help prevent repeat imports, with an optional check for existing photos in your Photos library.

MAKE IT YOURS Choose Light, Dark or System appearance. Adjust the browsing layout, filters and transfer settings to suit your workflow. On iPad, browse in two columns or fit more photos on screen, with up to eight columns in portrait and twelve in landscape, depending on window size.

Your camera and memory-card originals are never changed or deleted.

USB camera compatibility and RAW support depend on your equipment and the formats supported by iOS and iPadOS.
