# Exportador

> Free Mac app to transfer photos and videos from your iPhone to a folder over a cable, without the Photos app or iCloud. Original files, each one verified.

App gratis para Mac: pasa las fotos y videos del iPhone a una carpeta por cable, sin la app Fotos ni iCloud. Originales verificados uno por uno.

- Platform: macOS 13.3 or later. There is no Windows version.
- Connection: USB cable only; reads straight from the iPhone, without iCloud or the Mac’s Photos library.
- No Photos app: it doesn’t create or use a photo library; it copies straight to the folder you choose.
- Formats: HEIC, DNG (ProRAW), JPG, PNG, MOV (HEVC and H.264), MP4, Live Photos and edited photos.
- Integrity: each file is written as .part, synced, re-read without cache and checked against its BLAKE3 hash and size before an atomic rename.
- Metadata: EXIF, GPS and capture date are preserved; the file’s modification date is set to the capture date.
- Privacy: photos and videos never go over the network; the account (email and a code, no password) needs internet when the app opens and stores usage totals (how much is exported, speed, errors, general details of the Mac and library), which can be turned off; read-only access to the iPhone.
- App languages: English and Spanish, chosen the first time it opens.
- Price: free. Supported by donations (Buy Me a Coffee).
- Installation: a Terminal command that downloads the latest version (universal: Apple Silicon and Intel), checks its Developer ID signature, puts it in Applications and opens it.
