Your iCloud storage is full
Make verified copies on storage you control before you decide whether anything should be removed from iCloud.
Cloud Photo Transfer · Bright Labs for Windows
iCloud full? Move your photos to storage you own.
Move your iCloud photos and videos to an external drive, NAS, or folder on Windows, then verify the saved copy before you delete anything from iCloud.
Free to try. Pro is $19.99 once with no subscription. Cloud Photo Transfer works with iCloud for Windows already signed in on your PC and never asks for your Apple password.

Know what is safe
Verified
Cloud Photo Transfer reads the destination copy back and records verification before it reports the file complete.
SHA-256 read-back verification
Resume interrupted transfers
Re-check saved archives later
Get out of the storage trap without guessing.
Cloud Photo Transfer is built for the awkward middle ground where iCloud is full, the Windows PC is short on space, and deleting family photos before proving the backup feels reckless.
Your PC drive is too small
Choose an external drive or Windows-accessible NAS instead of trying to squeeze the whole library onto C:.
You are afraid to delete
Read-back verification gives you evidence that the destination copy matches before any optional Pro removal workflow can proceed.
Your library is too big for one sitting
Saved verification history lets interrupted transfers resume without pretending unfinished files succeeded.
Copy it. Read it back. Verify it.
Cloud Photo Transfer does more than copy files. After each photo or video is written to the destination, the saved copy is read back and verified before it is marked complete. Verification history is saved so an interrupted transfer can continue without pretending unfinished work succeeded.

Try the real workflow free.
Install Cloud Photo Transfer from Microsoft Store and transfer a bounded sample of up to 10 eligible files or 250 MB. Upgrade to $19.99 lifetime Pro only if you want the full-library tools.
Verification history helps the next run continue with unfinished work.
External and network destinations can be reconnected before the rescue continues.
Verify My Archive Again checks saved archives after the original transfer.
Exact duplicates are reported for review and are not automatically deleted or merged.
Completion proof shows source items, accounted-for files, duplicates, and unresolved items.
Local-space release tools run only after verification and user confirmation.
Transfers should survive real life.
Large photo libraries take time. Cloud Photo Transfer keeps a verification ledger so a transfer can pause safely, resume later, recover after a destination disconnect, and avoid unnecessarily re-copying files that are already verified.
Your photo library stays yours.
Cloud Photo Transfer processes the photo library on your Windows PC. Bright Labs does not receive your photo/video library during normal operation, and the app never asks for your Apple password. Apple authentication stays with iCloud for Windows.

What you need
Previously saved Cloud Photo Transfer history and destination verification can still be opened when iCloud for Windows is unavailable, but new iCloud-source actions require iCloud for Windows.
Windows 10 build 19041 or later, 64-bit
iCloud for Windows installed and signed in for new iCloud-source and cloud-management operations
Enough destination storage for the files you choose to transfer
Internet access when iCloud for Windows needs to download/upload media
Nothing disappears by surprise.
Cloud Photo Transfer never automatically removes files from iCloud Photos. Pro removal tools require explicit file selection and confirmation, and the saved destination copy is re-verified before a selected iCloud item is removed. Removing an item from iCloud Photos can also remove it from devices using that iCloud Photos library.

No. It works with iCloud for Windows already signed in on your PC. Cloud Photo Transfer does not ask for or store your Apple password.
No. Cloud Photo Transfer processes the library locally and copies files only to the destination you choose.
Yes. You can choose a local folder, external drive, or network/NAS folder that Windows can access.
Pro can selectively remove verified files from iCloud Photos only after explicit selection, confirmation, and a fresh destination re-verification. Removing an item from iCloud Photos can also remove it from devices using the same iCloud library, so this is never automatic.
Pro can request that verified iCloud files become cloud-only after transfer. Completion depends on iCloud for Windows and Windows, so Cloud Photo Transfer reports the request rather than pretending storage was released instantly.
After a file is copied, Cloud Photo Transfer reads the saved copy back and verifies it before marking the item complete.
Verification history is saved so the transfer can resume and continue with unfinished work.
No. It identifies exact duplicate copies for review but does not automatically delete or merge them.
No. Pro is a $19.99 one-time lifetime unlock through Microsoft Store.
