  • Can I view photos I have on cd on my laptop? Can I transfer photos from cd to my laptop? Thanks.

    Hi. Thanks for asking. Yes, with the USB CD DVD Reader Writer, you can easily view photos stored on a CD using your laptop. The device acts as an external CD drive, allowing your laptop to read the files on the disc. Simply connect the reader to your laptop via the USB port, insert your CD, and you will be able to browse the photos directly on your laptop.

    Additionally, you can transfer photos from the CD to your laptop by copying the files from the CD and pasting them into a folder on your laptop's hard drive. This straightforward process ensures that your photos are safely stored on your device for easy access anytime.

    This USB CD DVD Reader Writer is compatible with most modern laptops and operating systems, making it a convenient solution for managing your media on optical discs. Whether you're archiving old photo collections or sharing memories, this device is a great tool to have on hand.

  • Will it work on an Android tablet and iPad?

    Hi. That's a good question! The USB CD DVD Reader Writer will work with devices that support USB OTG (On-The-Go) functionality, which is available on some Android tablets. However, the tablet must support USB OTG and provide enough power through its USB port to run the external drive. You may also need a compatible USB OTG adapter to connect the drive to the tablet. As for iPads, they do not natively support external CD/DVD drives due to software restrictions, and iPadOS does not have drivers to interface with external optical drives. Therefore, it is unlikely to work with an iPad. We also offer a 14-day 'trial and return for refund less shipping fee' service to enable testing with your equipment.

  • Will this external drive recognise jpeg files as I want to transfer jpegs from CD to USB storage using Windows 11? Thanks

This external drive functions as a standard optical drive, allowing you to read and transfer various file types, including JPEGs to any USB storage device. It can read a wide range of image formats including JPEG / JPG - image.jpg, PNG (.png), GIF (.gif), BMP (.bmp), TIFF / TIF (.tiff or .tif), RAW (.raw), WEBP (.webp), PSD (.psd), HEIF / HEIC (.heif or .heic) and SVG (.svg) to name a few.
