SD Import — the fastest way to import photos and videos from your camera SD card to iPhone. Supports RAW, JPEG, MP4 and more with real-time progress tracking.
SD Import is the fastest and simplest tool to import photos and videos from your camera SD card directly to iPhone Photos.
Why SD Import?
• Real-time import progress — see exactly how fast files are transferring, byte by byte
• One-tap card cleanup — delete successfully imported files from your SD card right after importing, freeing space while you're still shooting (Pro)
• Deletion with two safeguards — only files verified as fully read and confirmed saved to Photos are removed; failed imports are never deleted, and every deletion needs your confirmation
• RAW format support — ARW, CR2, CR3, RAF, NEF and more
• Smart scanning — automatically finds photos and videos, hides junk files
• Date grouping — browse media organized by shooting date
• EXIF preserved — original shooting dates kept intact in your Photos library
• Storage check — warns you before import if space is running low
How it works:
1. Connect your SD card reader to iPhone
2. Select the SD card directory
3. Pick your photos and videos
4. Tap Import — done!
5. Need space? Clear the imported files off the card in one tap
About the delete feature
Every file is verified as fully read and successfully saved to your Photos library before it is deleted. Files that failed to import, or that you didn't select, are never touched. Deletion always requires an explicit tap plus a confirmation — nothing is ever deleted automatically.
Pro upgrade unlocks unlimited imports and SD card cleanup with a one-time purchase. No subscription, yours forever.
Supports Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, DJI and other major camera brands.
Really useful if you shoot with a camera a lot. Plug in the SD card reader, select the files, and import them straight to Photos. I especially like being able to see the progress when importing large videos.
Saves Me a Lot of Time

I used to import everything and then go back to the SD card to delete the files manually. Now I can clean them up right after importing. Simple app, easy to use, and does exactly what I need.

Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback — and sorry the paywallcaught you off guard.You're right that SD Import is a paid app. The free imports are thereso you can test that your card reader and card work with your iPhonebefore spending anything. Unlocking the full version is a one-timepurchase — not a subscription — and it stays yours forever.Building a reliable importer takes real work: RAW format support acrossSony, Canon, Fujifilm and Nikon, preserving original capture dates,handling interrupted transfers, and keeping up with every iOS release.That ongoing work is what the purchase supports.
• Fixes product information occasionally failing to load, which could leave the purchase button unavailable until the app was restarted.
• Restoring a purchase no longer always asks for your Apple ID password — in most cases it now completes silently.
