Get started with Photos
Quickly get started using Photos to view and organise your photos and videos, then learn what else you can do.
Your photos, everywhere
With iCloud Photos, your photos and videos are always with you, no matter which device you’re using. Take a photo on your iPhone and it appears automatically in Photos on your Mac.
Enjoy the memories
Memories intelligently curates your photos and videos to find trips, holidays, people, pets and more, then presents them in beautiful collections — complete with theme music, titles and cinematic transitions.
Share the good times
Share photos and videos seamlessly in Mail, Messages or other apps. Or use AirDrop to instantly share photos with anyone on an Apple device nearby.
Make good photos great
You don’t have to be a pro to edit like one. Use the Photos editing tools to give your pictures, videos and Live Photos just the right look. You can improve light and colour, apply filters, enhance framing by cropping and more.
Where are your photos stored?
Use the library to import, manage and export photos.
Save space on your Mac
Store full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud.
