Photos helps you keep your growing library organised and accessible. Powerful and intuitive editing tools help you perfect your images. Memories displays the best images from your photo library in beautiful collections. And with iCloud Photo Library, you can keep a lifetime’s worth of photos and videos stored in iCloud and up to date on your Mac, iOS devices, Apple TV and even your PC.
iCloud Photo Library. One convenient home for all your photos and videos.
iCloud Photo Library gives you access to your entire Mac photo and video library from all your devices. If you shoot a snapshot, slow-motion video or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photo Library as well — so it appears on your Mac, your iOS devices, your Apple TV, iCloud.com and your PC. And since your collection is organised the same way across your Apple devices, navigating your library always feels familiar
Make an edit here, see it there.
When you make changes on your Mac — like editing a photo, marking a Favourite or adding to an album — they’re also made on your iPhone, your iPad and iCloud.com. And vice versa — any changes made on your iOS devices are automatically reflected on your Mac.
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimise Mac Storage”, all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimise storage on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 2TB.
Rediscover your memories in beautiful new ways.
You’ve spent years capturing moments worth remembering. Now Photos can automatically turn them into unforgettable experiences called Memories — shareable collections of your best photos — based on people, places, holidays and more
The moment you’re looking for, always at hand.
The Photos app uses Moments, Collections and Years views to organise your photos and videos by when and where they were taken. With People, you get powerful face recognition capabilities that group photos by person. Places lets you see all your photos on a beautiful world map. And now you can even search for photos by what’s in them, like strawberries, sunsets and surfboards

Fill your library, not your device.
Now you can spend more time shooting pictures and less time managing them. iCloud Photo Library helps you make the most of the space available on your Apple devices by automatically storing the original high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and leaving behind lightweight versions that are perfectly sized for each device — taking up only as much space as needed. You get 5GB of iCloud storage for free, and other storage plans start at NZ$1.49 per month.
Always original. Down to every last pixel.
When you save photos and videos to iCloud Photo Library, your memories are always kept exactly as you took them. All your images are held in their original formats at full resolution — JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, TIFF and MP4, as well as special formats you capture with your iPhone, like slow motion, time-lapse, 4K videos and Live Photos. And any edits you make are reversible, so you can always go back to your original shot in iCloud.
iCloud Storage Plans
You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud, and you have the option to choose a plan for up to 2TB. More iCloud storage means more space for photos, videos, documents and apps, so they’re always available from any device. iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Drive can also help free up space on your devices. You can upgrade your storage option straight from your Mac or iOS device.
Apple TV makes it easy to view and share all the photos and videos from your iCloud Photo Library, including your Memories and shared albums, displaying them in impressive fashion on your HDTV. You can even enjoy the Live Photos you take with your iPhone on the big screen. It’s a great way to turn your life’s best moments into the life of the party.
