There are typically three methods:

Method 1 — USB cable (most common): Connect the camera to a computer via the included USB cable (usually Micro USB or USB-C). The camera will appear as a removable drive. Open it, navigate to the DCIM or PHOTO folder, and copy files over. This is the fastest and most reliable method.

Method 2 — SD card reader: Remove the MicroSD card from the camera, insert it into an SD card adapter (usually included with the card), and plug it into your computer's SD slot or a USB card reader. This is equally fast and useful if you don't want to keep track of the camera's USB cable.

Method 3 — OTG adapter (phone): Many recent kids camera models support USB On-The-Go (OTG), which allows direct connection to an Android phone or tablet using an OTG adapter. The camera appears as external storage on the phone. iOS devices generally do not support this method.

Apps: Some models advertise companion apps for photo transfer. In practice, few parents use these because the connection process (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth pairing) can be finicky on kids cameras, and the transfer speed is slower than a direct cable connection.
