PhotoDump Export

iCloud Photos to your own SSD

$9.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Straight from iCloud Photos to your own drive. No tracking, no analytics. Private by design. PhotoDump copies your photos and videos, full quality, including Live Photos, to a USB or SSD drive, your own S3-compatible storage, or a REST server you control. Once they are copied, no iCloud subscription is required to keep them. Files are only marked safe to delete from the phone after they are confirmed to exist on the destination, not before. Connect a drive, pick what to move, and it copies everything while keeping albums, dates, and locations intact. Migration can be paused and resumed at any point; it picks up from where it stopped instead of starting over. The external drive can be browsed the same way as the Photos app: albums, full-screen viewing, and search by what is in a photo (people, places, objects) or where it was taken, done on-device. Downloading originals still stored in iCloud runs at the speed iCloud allows for that account; this is controlled by Apple servers, not by the app. Once a file is downloaded and copied to the destination, it no longer depends on iCloud. A single external drive can be shared across multiple iPhones. Each device is tracked separately on the drive, so files from different phones are not mixed together. USB/SSD is the most stable destination today. S3-compatible and REST server destinations are labeled Beta and still being refined. Interface is available in English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Kazakh.
