Last updated on Let’s be honest, one of the main reasons why iPhone users buy iPhones is because they take high-quality photos. Most of us have hundreds, if not thousands, of photos saved on our phones, and one of the most significant concerns is making sure we don’t lose these precious images. One way of saving your photo memories is by creating a backup of your data in iTunes.
Extracting photos from an iTunes backup can be useful in case something happens to your iPhone, if it gets damaged, lost, stolen or if you delete some photos by mistake. Extracting images from iTunes backup files it’s pretty easy, but first of all, you have to make sure that you synced your iPhone in the past; otherwise, you won’t be able to recover your data through this method.
If you wish to extract photos from iTunes backups, you should know that the main purpose of these files is to restore the data on your iPhone when you need or wish to, rather than to extract individual files. That’s why retrieving photos from an iTunes backup file can be a little tricky. Luckily, this tutorial will teach you exactly how to recover photos from iTunes backup files.
