Here are a couple easy but powerful ways to transfer photos from your Motorola Razr phone to your PC (or vice versa).

Question: “It seems like the only way I can get pictures from my phone to my computer is to email them, which costs about 75 cents a picture depending on the picture size (at least with my Cingular wireless service plan). Is there another way to transfer them?”

Answer: Yes, you can transfer photos from your Razr phone to your PC (or vice versa) without paying any wireless provider fees, using a USB data cable or a bluetooth connector.

Transfer Pictures To Your PC with a USB Data Cable

If you have a USB data cable or a bluetooth connector (discussed below), then you can transfer pictures, video, and ringtones from your phone to your computer. You’ll need software to recognize your cell phone and handle the transfer with a USB data cable.

There are several affordable programs that will let you transfer photos, videos, and ring tones from your cell phone to your PC. They also let you copy them from your PC to your cell phone.

Motorola PhoneTools Motorola’s PhoneTools software is built specifically for Motorola phones like the RAZR or the new KRAZR.

PhoneTools allows you to transfer photos and videos directly from your Razr phone to your PC (or from a PC to your Razr phone). The PhoneTools’ Multimedia Studio and File Transfer Studio let you see all your photos, audio and video clips in the same window. You’ll see your computer on the left and your phone on the right.

Copying photos from your RAZR phone to your PC is as easy as highlighting them in the right-side window (representing your cell phone) and dragging them over to your file system on the left-side window. That’s it – very easy to do. Click for full size image of the Motorola Phone Tools software

You can also go the other way, and transfer existing pictures from your PC to your phone. The usb cable it comes with charges your phone while it’s plugged in, and there’s even a ring tone mixer that makes it easy to personalize your phone with custom ring tones.

Don’t get the PhoneTools software directly from Motorola though (they charge $49.99, which is way too much IMHO).

You can get the Motorola PhoneTools software from Amazon for about half the retail price. That’s a much more reasonable price for being able to easily transfer photos from your RAZR phone to your PC, and it’s a program you’ll use all the time.

Have a cell phone other than the Motorola RAZR?

Windows XP or Windows Vista don’t come with software to recognize your phone and handle the file transfer, so you’ll need a copy of DataPilot, which works with all major phone types.

Fire up DataPilot, and plug one end of the usb data cable into your phone and the other end into the usb port on your computer. DataPilot will display a list of the existing photos, ring tones, and videos on your cell phone. Select the pictures on your cell phone that you want to move, and click the transfer button to copy them over to your PC.

You can also copy the other way, and use DataPilot to transfer photos or ring tones from your computer to your cell phone.

Transfer Pictures To Your PC Using BlueTooth

If you’d rather stay wireless, then a BlueTooth adapter is your ticket.

Bluetooth has a 30-foot range, so you don’t even need to have the phone right by you to be able to transfer files to it. In fact, you can keep your phone in your briefcase or backpack and still have no problems connecting to your laptop with Bluetooth.

Assuming you have purchased a Bluetooth adapter like the one shown above, then you’ll need to pair your phone with your computer so they can speak to each other over the Bluetooth protocol.

I’ve provided detailed instructions for pairing a bluetooth device here. The menu options specific to a RAZR phone are as follows:

Settings –> Connection –> BlueTooth Link –> Setup –> Find Me

You only need to pair your cell phone to your computer once. After that, your phone will be automatically recognized when you plug in the bluetooth adapter and have your phone within range.

Once your computer and phone recognize each other, you can select photos from your phone and transfer them to your PC. To send a file from your computer to your phone, just right click the file, choose the “Send by Bluetooth to” option, and then select your phone as the recipient.

    Transferring photos from PC to RAZR 3
    As there was no mention of this is your article …… I just had to ask. I would like to transfer photos from my pc to the phone …….. is that possible with the same software? Or is it ONLY from the phone to the PC??

    Thanks,
    Donna

      You can transfer pictures and videos both ways
      Hi Donna,

      Yes, you can transfer pictures from your PC to your phone as well as from your phone to your PC. It’s drag and drop and very easy to use. I’ll update the article to include this information.

        Hi Rick, I have a Motorola
        Hi Rick, I have a Motorola Razor from a long time ago that I used to have with T-Mobile. I saved pics to my phone itself and now that I no longer have T-Mobile they said I can download pics with a usb cord. I did that but my computer only tells me that it is downloading the device manager and then promps me to go ahead and close out the box. After that nothing else happens. Can you help me figure out how to download the pics from my Phone? I believe it is a Razor V3 .

        Thank you kindly,
        Christy

      Finding how to…
      I agree. I “yahoo’d” you through search. I’ve ordered my software to transfer pictures from my razor linking straight from your article. I tried to get it “from the horse’s mouth” but couldn’t – from my cell service where I bought my phone. The site acted like they didn’t know what I was talking about. I even went to their store who sent me to Best Buy for the cable – which I bought without any software thinking I could go to explorer and copy but my computer didn’t even recognize the storage on the phone. Now I’ve ordered the software which has the cable with it! Oh well, live and learn!

      Believe me, I tried everything I could think of
      I tried everything I could think of, and spent numerous hours scouring the web for possible solutions. You’ll need either a bluetooth device or software like Phone Tools or DataPilot to handle the data transfer.

      There are many sites that claim their hand-made drivers will do the trick, but I was not able to get them to work (and I’m a software developer myself).

      Time is money, and for me it was a big time and money saver using the PhoneTools software.

    How good is the picture quality?
    How good is the quailty of pictures taken with a razr, or transferred from a computer? There are some pretty high quality pictures that come pre-loaded with the phone, but the ones I take don’t seem to come out quite as high. Is there a way to control the image resolution?

    • Ricky

      Information on Razr phone picture quality
      Here’s a link to some very detailed information about picture quality from a Razr phone.

      It’s not going to give you super high quality photos (that’s what expensive digital cameras are for). But it will let you capture moments that you’d otherwise miss, where you can just whip out your razr phone and snap off a picture or take a video. And the photo quality is not bad for a 1.3 MP VGA camera.

      Unfortunately, there’s no way that I’m aware of to control the phone’s image resolution. You can zoom in up to 4x, and I find that photos taken of close-up stationary objects turn out nicely, whereas photos of moving objects are not as sharp (though still plenty recognizable).

      If you’re thinking about buying a Motorola Razr phone, be sure to check out my article discussing how to get a free Razr phone. No gimmics, just a great offer that let both my wife and I get free phones with an AT&T/Cingular service plan.

        Razor Phone tools
        Be sure to let everyone know that you need to “Deluxe” version of the phone tools to do pictures. I found out the hard way, the regular version will only do outlook,Phonebook and calendar.

    Thanks for the info in the article “How do I transfer pictures from my RAZR phone to my PC?”. I had been sending each picture individually to a site and when I needed it the most, the site was down.

      Razr phone
      Hi, I found your page very helpful, but have a few questions. In your section about bluetooth file transfer you say you need a BlueTooth adapter on your computor. How do I identify this? And with the device pluging into your USB port wouldn’t that be all you need (a usb)?
      I will get the cable setup but would be more interested in the bluetooth because it’s cheaper! Which doesn’t make any sense to me. I thought wireless technology would be more expensive.
      Also I read that the package with the cable allows you to edit and/or change size of your pictures, does the bluetooth software include this?

      Thank You,
      Scott

        If you have Bluetooth
        If you have Bluetooth installed on your machine already, then you’ll see a Bluetooth icon in your task bar on the lower right of your screen:

        If not, then you’ll need to buy a Bluetooth adapter, which is indeed a USB device that plugs into one of your computer’s USB ports.

        The Motorola PhoneTools comes with a USB data cable, and the software is better in my opinion than the software from the CellPhoneShop. The USB data cable also charges your phone while it’s plugged in, which is not the case for the Bluetooth adapter.

      Verizon locks their phones down, so that they don’t allow photo transfer unless you send them via email (and of course they make money from data transfer charges).

        I got a new phone and wanted to save my photos off my old one. Verizon told me to transfer my photos to a memory card and take them to a photo lab…well, I did that and the photo lab can’t read the pictures on the memory card. I called Verizon about it and they told me to contact the memory card maker (Sansdisk). But, now I am thinking that photos must be locked or something because the photos are there, but you can’t see them or do any thing with them. Is there any way around this? Why would Verizon tell you to buy a memory card and take them to the photo lab, if they knew all along that it won’t work!

        Photo Transfer
        Hi, I’m pleased to report that I’ve found no evidence that Verizon “locks down” any photo transfer. I stored my photos on my SanDisk memory card that’s inserted into my phone, removed it, inserted it into the SanDisk adapter, inserted the adapter into my HP printer slot, (there are no such slots in my 4 year old computer) and the printer software recognized the pictures forthwith. A simple drag & drop put them on my desktop.

      John,

      It sounds like the program you normally use to open images might have been uninstalled, which could explain why your system is prompting you saying it can’t open them.

        V3m
        My wife just got a Droid. The Verizon guy said he could copy her contact info w/o problems (worked fine), but that there was nothing he could do for her photos or the ringtones she had purchased over the years. I’m getting conflicting information – most sites say that the V3M was locked down by Verizon and you can’t even copy photo’s via USB. She didn’t have a microSD card, but I thought if I bought one I could copy to it, but after going through her menus there doesn’t seem to be a feature to do that. Waaaay up the list of questions you mentioned some motorola software. Will that work on her locked down V3m for photo/ringtone’s, or is there another software, or are we just SOL? Tnx, Brian

      Your razr supports usb
      Your razr supports usb transfers, but you won’t see any usb menus on your phone. That’s what the PhoneTools software gives you – the ability to copy multiple files between your phone and your computer.

      You can also use bluetooth, but you’ll be limited to transferring one file at a time. PhoneTools lets you select multiple files and move them over in one shot (as does DataPilot).

    Memory Card
    Don’t forget. Even if you have a Verizon phone with a Memory Card slot you can usually move your pictures and videos to the card and then use a card reader to pull off the images/videos from the card.

    If you have a phone with a memory card and it isn’t Verizon you may also be able to put the phone in Memory card mode. Which is essentially a card reader and connect to the PC for usb transfer.

    Start > Settings > Connections > USB Settings > Memory Card

    Connect via USB cable, Double click on My computer, Look for Removable Disk > Double Click > Find your Files > Drag and drop to your computer.

    Good Luck!

    Use a Mac
    Just for the heck of it I turned the Bluetooth on my old Razor and then Discovered it using my MAC. File/Folder window appeared after pairing the two devices and I pulled everything over.

    No extra software needed, no nothing. I was surprised. Not sure if maybe new versions of the windows OS with Bluetooth can do this, but I can say that Mac OS X can for sure. It’d be interesting to see if a Windows based laptop can.

    Again, no extra software required. It just dropped all the images and videos into a folder of my choice. If you know someone with a Mac (with bluetooth), have them rip the phone and throw the stuff on a thumb drive or a burnable CD for you.

    I have downloaded “Motorola Phone Tools? but when I go to use it all I get is the following message on my pc screen: “Motorola Phone Tools has not detected your mobile phone” and on the phone I get an error message: memory card missing. What is going on, did I do something wrong? Cannot get this to do anything.

    moving pictures from the razr v3r to the pc
    okay – do I need to buy ANOTHER usb connector specifically for the razr v3r ?

    I have one for a KODAK easy share camera.

    I have not been able to email pictures from the razr v3r to my
    email address –

      Texan,
      You don’t need to buy

      Texan,

      You don’t need to buy another usb data cable – any cable that fits that slot will do the trick (such as the one for your kodak camera as long as it fits the slot).

      You will however need the phonetools software to communicate between your phone and your PC.

    Email and Bluetooth
    Ricky, Hi. It’s great that you take the time to do all this! I just sent a picture via e-mail from my (orig) Cingular (now AT&T) phone to a friend in California (I’m in PA). THANKS, it was quite simple (I actually stored the address in my phone book first). [Had already tried to do through the phone e-mail, but that doesn’t allow attachments].

    Now for my question, how can I get my adapter to work on vista (32) pc?

    I originally told my friend to send the picture to my phone because I have a bluetooth adapter (targus acb-10) and have software on my XP machine. That machine has power supply issues, so I got the pic to the PC, but will probably have to wait another week until it will stay on long enough for me to transfer the pic to her via e-mail.

    So I loaded the targus disk to the vista machnine, had to go to broadcom to download a version of the software compatible with vista (digitally signed), then had to hunt for drivers for the actual adapter. The one on the targus website is for a newer version of the adapter – so that driver didn’t work. My vista machine and phone have already met and connected/bonded; won’t let me transfer anything because there isn’t a driver for the actual adapter. I have a question in at the Targus website, though they haven’t gotten back to me.

    Is there anything ‘generic’ I can do to make this work?

    I can transfer photos from my Razor to my iPhone via Bluetooth, and then directly from iPhone to my computer. That’s one solution if you have a friend with an iPhone.

    Transfer of MMS
    Hi, Rick:

    I do have a Motorola Razor V3 and the Motorola Phone Tool software.

    I do transfer back and forth between the phone and the computer.

    However, I can not transfer the pictures sent to me as messages.

    I can see them on my phone, but I have not idea how to transfer them.

    And the MMS tool is only to create customized multimedia messages (MMS) to be sent to a contact.

    Any idea?

    Thanks

    Motorola Phone Tools does
    Motorola Phone Tools does not work with razor v3. The Multimedia Icon fails to appear as an option. When I called Motorola they said its phone service carrier restrictions that are the prob..w/e the f that is!!..I’m disgusted and out $20. Bottomline…no pictures can be transferred from phone to pc with this product
