The photos appear in My Photo Stream on each device: in the Photos app on your iOS devices,
in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, or in the Pictures folder on a Windows computer.
Take a photo
Take a photo with your
iOS device. Or import
a photo from your
digital camera to
your Mac or PC.
iCloud stores it
New photos
are automatically
sent to iCloud after
you take them or
import them.
And pushes it
to your devices
Your photos
automatically
appear on
your devices.
My Photo Stream is totally automatic, but if you have a Mac, you can choose to turn off
automatic uploading when you set up My Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture. This can be
useful if you regularly import very large numbers of photos.
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices
plenty of time to connect and download them. Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of
your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. To keep these photos on your iOS device
permanently, you can save them to your device’s Camera Roll or to another album. Because your
Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My
Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded to your computer.
Note: My Photo Stream is compatible with TIFF files up to 100 MB, JPEG files up to 50 MB, RAW
files (in supported formats) up to 100 MB, and PNG files up to 50 MB.
