Can I Transfer Photo Albums Created on My iPad to My Windows PC?

Message: IS IT POSSIBLE TO TRANSFER PHOTO ALBUMS CREATED ON MY IPAD TO MY WINDOWS PC?

If you are using the Photos app to create albums on the iPad – those albums will not transfer to the PC.

Those albums do not actually contain the photos or copies of the photos. They merely have a pointer to the original photo in the photos app. The albums created in the Photos app are for local photo organization on the iPad only.

You can transfer photos but not albums.
