DigiDNA released iMazing 2.11 for macOS, an iOS device management app allowing transferring of messages, music, files, and other types of data from any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch device. iMazing 2.11 debuts a new way for users to manage and to transfer iPhone and iPad photos from their Mac. After connecting their iPhone or iPad and their computer via USB or Wi-FI, the entire photo library becomes available within seconds, streamed straight from the device. The new feature enables previewing high-resolution images before actually importing them. Users can view all photo metadata, including location, detailed camera settings, number of views, last shared date and more.

“Photographers will appreciate the attention to detail and raw power on display,” says DigiDNA’s Gregorio Zanon. “More casual snappers will enjoy being able to browse their library seamlessly and export just the photos they need.”

Additional information is also listed for each photo. That information includes original versions of edited photos, both the video and image elements of Live Photos, and pre-bokeh effect versions of photos taken using the device’s Portrait Camera app feature.

Technical Specifications Include:

Browsing & Filtering:

  • 3 different views: Moments, Grid and List
  • Browse by media type, album or smart album
  • All available metadata displayed

  • Include all frames of bursts

  • Include video component of Live Photos
  • Automatically organize exports in a folder hierarchy, by moment and media type
  • Recover photos from albums synced with iTunes or the Finder
  • HEIC to JPEG conversion, adjustable quality

Mac Import Options:

  • Create From my Mac albums on iPhone or iPad
  • Add photos to albums via drag and drop (no sync)

Delete Options:

  • Bulk delete photos from the Camera Roll (not available if iCloud Photo Library is enabled)
  • Remove photos or entire albums from synced albums

Backup Options:

  • Encrypted backups are fully supported, if backup password is known

When used in combination with iMazing’s Time Machine-like automatic iOS backups, the new Photos tool enables users to recover deleted photos, even if they’ve been fully removed from both the device and from iCloud. The entire Photo library of any Apple mobile touch device can be archived, making it always browsable in high resolution at blazingly fast speeds.

“Users can also create and manage iOS Photo albums by dropping photos in iMazing, and delete items from the Camera Roll in bulk,” continues Gregorio. “The new Photos tool is currently available only in the macOS version of iMazing. The Windows PC version is scheduled for release this Summer.”
