Add Media from an iPhoto or Aperture Library

Mylio Photos makes importing your legacy iPhoto or Aperture Library quick and easy.

*NOTE: If you’re using Apple Photos on your computer, iPhone, or iPad, please see these instructions for importing your library to Mylio Photos. The instructions below are for legacy (no longer supported by Apple) iPhoto and Aperture libraries only.

1. Click the plus icon in the top app bar to open the Add Media dialog.
2. Choose Add media from Photos for macOS, iPhoto, or Aperture.
3. Select your Aperture or iPhoto Library and click Continue.
   • If your Aperture or iPhoto library is not found automatically, select Other Library and navigate to that library on your hard drive.
4. Mylio Photos will display information about your Aperture or iPhoto Library and calculate the size.
5. Confirm the information, then click Import Now.

!NOTE: Importing from iPhoto or Aperture creates a copy of your library, so the destination hard drive must be larger than your library size.
