iPad Pro Move from Files app to Album app

[BoomerM3]

Using iPad Pro with IOS 13.

I have transferred a bunch of pictures (jpg) from an external drive to my iPad. They are in a folder visible in the Files app.

I want to move them into an album. However, the Files app does not seem to offer that option. Is there a way to make these pictures available in an album? How?

You can select the images in Files, then select Share, and within Share select "Save x Images" (x being the number of images you selected). They will then be copied to the Photos app where you can add them to an album.

Perfect. It would be nice if the screen said save images to albums, or some such.

Thanks.

Yeah, it is not obvious that Save Images means Copy to Photos.

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't call it that in the first place.

One thing I notice about the Save Image function in Files is it doesn’t work well with RAW files.

Files app can view RAW files from my Nikon D750 just fine, but using the Save Image function to copy the RAW file to Photos just saves a low quality JPG image (basically the thumbnail).

Yes - a "feature". I now bypass Photos and Files completely, doing a direct import from of RAW from my SD cards into Lightroom.
