Speaking of images, if you want to batch convert and resize images on your Mac, we've shown you how to do that. This will allow you to, say, automatically rename imported photos or back them up to a cloud service. This way you can be sure that what you're seeing is exactly what you're importing.Īlso, once you get familiar with your Mac's Automator app, you can weave the Image Capture plugin into an automation workflow. It's best to test the import function with a dummy photo or two before you import photos (and videos) in bulk. Want to import the images in the original format? You'll have to go to Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC on your iPhone and switch from the Automatic option to Keep Originals. But when you view them in Image Capture, they'll appear as JPEGs or PNGs and import as such.

The images on your iPhone save in the new High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). Select the ‘Delete Items After Import’ option ( Next to ‘Import Selected’) to automatically Delete your Videos once transferred. Now, when your Import is completed, a Message Box asks you if you want to Delete your Videos from the iPhone, or keep them. With cloud sync enabled, the delete icon will appear grayed out or be missing altogether from the Image Capture app. If you want to transfer all new Videos, then hit ‘import All New Items’. You can't use this delete process if you have enabled iCloud Photo Library.
