This article explains how Samsung Galaxy owners can transfer their photos from the device's internal memory to the SD card. Even if the smartphones of the Samsung Galaxy line have a large amount of internal memory, it can be useful to be able to take advantage of the space present on the SD card. Using an SD card is very easy to transfer data from one device to another so that you always have the images and photos of your choice with you.
Steps
Step 1. Install the SD card in your smartphone
Samsung Galaxy devices have a slot to insert an SD card, but the location of this slot varies by model. In some cases it is placed under the battery of the device or in a point of its housing, while in others it is placed along one of the sides of the smartphone.
Step 2. Launch the Archive app
It is one of the pre-installed applications on all devices in the Samsung Galaxy range. It is characterized by an icon depicting a stylized folder placed on a yellow background. Normally you can find it in the "Applications" panel.
Step 3. Select the Images category
At the top of the main screen of the Archive app is a section named Categories. The first element of that category should be the card Images, featuring a green icon depicting a stylized landscape.
Step 4. Select an image folder
A list of all image folders in your Samsung Galaxy memory will be displayed. Choose the one that contains the images you want to move to the SD card and tap it to select it.
Step 5. Keep your finger pressed on a photo
Find one of the images you want to transfer to the SD card, then tap it with your finger without lifting it from the screen until the device vibrates. At this point the selected photo will be characterized by a yellow check mark visible in the upper left part of the image.

You'll see a list of locations where you can move the selected photos. Tap the option SD card located below the option Internal memory.
Depending on the type of SD card or Samsung Galaxy model you will need to select the option Memory card.
Step 10. Choose a folder
At this point you will have to select the folder where to transfer the photos you have chosen. Scroll through the list of available folders and any subfolders until you find where to store your images.
Alternatively, you can create a new folder to store your chosen photos. At the top of the list is the option Create folder characterized by the green symbol +. Press the indicated button and choose the option Create.
