iMazing is a general purpose iPhone, iPad and iPod manager. Our goal is to expand your control over your mobile data, without jailbreaking your device. Popular features include:
Manage your iOS devices.
Print Messages, including image attachments
Retrieve attachments from messages
Transfer Music, from the Music app to iTunes or from your computer to the Music app
Manage your backups: schedule automatic backups, export backups for safe storage, browse backup contents and extract specific data from them
Transfer app states from one device to another
Transfer files from your computer to your device, or from your device to your computer
Recover photos from your device
Transfer data over to your new iPhone or iPad with more flexibility than the usual migration options
And so much more…
No, iMazing should be installed on your Mac or Windows PC. You connect your Apple mobile devices to your computer, via USB or Wi-Fi, and manage your mobile devices from the computer.
Pretty much all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models are supported. If your device is running an older iOS version (prior to iOS 5), some features may not be available, though.
No need to, no. If you do not have iTunes installed, iMazing will offer to download the Apple drivers needed to communicate with iOS devices.
iMazing does many things iTunes does, plus many things iTunes doesn’t – so in a way, it compares to iTunes.
Not at all. Having a jailbroken device will allow you to access the device Root, though. You might need to get afc2add or Apple File Conduit 2 in Cydia by the way, look here.
No, absolutely not. iMazing accesses your device’s data using Apple’s own communication protocol, just like iTunes does.
No! iMazing lets you extract music from iOS devices, but does not in any way circumvent DRMs – we don’t break or hack around any file protection of any sort.
iMazing is only compatible with Apple devices, sorry.
We have a free trial available. Simply download iMazing for PC or Mac here and give it a go!

Backing up and browsing backup contents is 100% supported in the trial version, but reinstalling/updating iOS requires you to activate your copy of iMazing. Simply restoring a backup can be done for free (via iMazing Mini), where as the advanced restore options iMazing offers also require a license. Backing up and restoring apps is not limited.
You can purchase a license from our store. We will send you a license code by email which you can then use to end your trial and unlock the full version of iMazing. Simply launch iMazing, click the ‘Trial’ button at the top of the window, and select ‘Enter License Code’.
Note that the iMazing Configurator feature set is for businesses only and requires an iMazing Configurator Edition license, learn more here.
There is no need to download anything else. After purchasing a license, you will receive a license code which you can use to end the trial and fully activate iMazing.
Sure! With iMazing, you can back up and schedule automatic backups, but also archive your backups, browse their contents, edit them and restore them.
The backup process is the same. In fact, to preserve space, iMazing uses the same backup location as iTunes. But where iTunes maintains a single snapshot of your devices, iMazing makes multiple 'Time Machine' like snapshots to let you browse and recover with much more granularity. iMazing also differs from iTunes in what it allows you to do with your backups: view their contents, add or remove apps from them before restoring them, etc…
Yes. Please see our article on the subject here.
Sure! Our ‘Clone’ feature is a one step Back Up / Restore process which allows you to transfer your data to your new device in just a few clicks.
iOS devices are not like USB keys or external drives: their file system is not directly accessible. This is why using a tool such as iMazing unlocks so much potential: iMazing does a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes to present you with well formatted, easy to understand data, pulling it from services running on the device and from a backup of the device.
iOS devices are very secure: most of your personal data is not accessible directly. Datasets such as Messages, Call History, Notes, Contacts or Voicemail are pulled from a backup of your device, which means that refreshing your backup is necessary to display your latest data. Because backups are incremental, only the first backup will take a substantial amount of time: subsequent backups are generally much faster, especially if you back up often.
We have a very comprehensive set of guides designed to help you make the most of iMazing here.
Absolutely not! None of your information is transmitted, uploaded, mirrored or saved on any server or cloud: ALL your data remains strictly local.
All data remains on your device, in the backups you make, and eventually in the app’s cache, but all of that is exclusively local. You can clear iMazing’s cache and delete backups whenever you need to.
To uninstall, you can start by resetting iMazing to factory settings from the preferences window. This will delete all cached data, and free up an activation slot if you have activated that copy of the software. Then:
On a Mac, open the Applications Folder in the Finder, locate iMazing.app and drag it to the trash!
On a PC, go tot the Control Panel, click on Programs, and then Programs and Features. Select iMazing.exe and click Uninstall.

We updated our licensing model in October 2020. If your license code starts with id, it's a legacy license. Legacy licenses are tied to a specific iMazing version, newer licenses are not.
Not until iMazing 3. Legacy licensing grants you all minor updates of the major version you purchased, and a 50% discount on the next major version.
We updated our licensing model so that we wouldn't have to charge for upgrades ever again. You can now choose between licensing iMazing for the lifetime of a specific Apple mobile device (Device License license), or opt for an Unlimited Devices subscription. In both cases, all future updates of iMazing are available free of charge.
It all boils down to how many devices you use iMazing with. If you use premium features with more than 3 new devices per year, the Unlimited Devices subscription is the right choice. Otherwise, the Device License license is the better deal: use iMazing with your licensed devices on any Mac or PC, for the entire lifetime of the device.
Simply activate iMazing with your license code and start using it. Whenever you perform an action which requires licensing, iMazing will prompt you to link the device to your license if needed. You can keep using all the free features with any number of devices.
No. If you choose the Device License license, you can use the same license code on any Mac or PC. If you choose the Unlimited Devices option, you can activate iMazing on up to 2 computers, Mac or PC. There are two different downloads, but they will both work with the same license.
Yes, Sure! We like to give them away to blogs and websites that like our software. We generally link to these giveaways from our Facebook page and our Twitter feed. Make sure to check back on us regularly!

We believe we should get paid if iMazing does the job. That’s our commitment, and we respect unsatisfied users’ good faith. We want to make sure that your issue is not something minor we could easily sort out for you – and make you happier in the process. If you would like a refund, we simply require your request to be sufficiently detailed:
What was the primary use of the software?
Which steps have been completed in the process and which one failed?
What troubleshooting measures and/or corrections have been applied?
This also allows us to better understand the shortcomings of iMazing: it will help us improve our baby!
Refund requests must be placed within 30 days after purchase via a support ticket.
Please mention the Order ID you received in your purchase’s confirmation email from Paddle.
iMazing 2 is a separate download, available here: Download iMazing.
You will not end up with 2 versions of iMazing. iMazing 2 will replace iMazing 1, and all your backups and settings will carry across. We strongly advise you not to use both versions together.
No, you will need a new iMazing 2 license code. Depending on when you purchased your iMazing 1 licence or DiskAid, upgrading your licence is free or can be done at a 50% discount. Please check your upgrade conditions here.
Please head to our upgrade page and follow instructions to upgrade your licence for free. You will get a new license code by email.
All iMazing 1 licences purchased after the 13th of March 2016 qualify.
