Download Pictures To A Computer From A Camera

Cameras can export pictures to a computer for free.


Computers and the Internet have made it easy to share large numbers of pictures and videos with other people. Windows allows you to import pictures from a digital camera almost as simply as copying any other type of files to the hard disk. If Windows' bare bones import tool is not enough for you, check out other free tools. Use the Picture Library to manage your pictures after you copy them and use Photo Viewer to view them. Download and install Windows Live Photo Gallery for more organization features.
