I joined iCloud as my apple 6 iPhone was full. iCloud has not been user-friendly so I want to take my photos out of the cloud and put all my photos on my computer. I tried a few but they came up with a default icon and no photo. There are over 2,000 photos. How do I take my photos out of the cloud and put them onto my computer in a picture form?

    Hi I am Shubhang,

    1. On iCloud.com, click Photos and select a photo or video. Hold the control key on your PC to select multiple photos or videos.
    2. Click and hold the download button the iCloud download icon in the upper corner of the window. If you want to download your photo or video as it was originally captured or imported, choose Unmodified Original. For JPEG or H.264 format — including edits, and even if it was originally in HEIF or HEVC format — choose Most Compatible.*
    3. Click Download. Multiple photos and videos will be downloaded in .zip file. You have to compress it.
