If you use an Android Phone as a mobile device and MacBook for computing, you might be interested in knowing about the different methods to Transfer Photos from Android Phone to Mac.
Transfer Photos from Android to Mac
Apple’s MacBook is equipped with a number of utilities that can help you transfer photos from your Phone, Tablet and other devices to Mac.
We are providing below three different ways to Import Photos from Android Phone or Tablet to Mac. You can use any method that appears easy and suits your Android device.
1. Transfer Photos from Android Phone to Mac Using Photos App
Perhaps the easiest way to transfer Photos from Android Phone or Tablet to Mac is to use the Native Photos App as available on your MacBook.
1. Connect Android Phone to Mac and open the Photos App on your Mac (If it is not already open).
2. In the Photos App, select your Android Phone in the left-pane. In the right-pane, select the destination for Imported Photos on your Mac and click on Import All New Photos button.
If you only want to transfer selected Photos, select Photos that you want to transfer and click on Import Selected option.

2. Import Photos from Android Phone to Mac Using Image Capture
Another utility on Mac that can help you transfer Photos from Android Phone to Mac is Image Capture.

Just like Photos App, image Capture allows you to select individual photos (by clicking on them) and transfer them to Mac by clicking on the Import option (Not Import All).
