How can I recover or extract photos from iphone backup without icloud?

iTunes backups are not meant for selective file extraction as they are meant for full restores. For easiest extraction, use a third-party iPhone backup extractor tools, which can scan iTunes backups and extract photos in an organized way.

iPhone Backup Extractor is a third-party software tool designed to help users recover and extract specific files such as photos, messages, contacts, and app data from iTunes or iCloud backups, even if the backup is encrypted. Unlike iTunes, which only allows full restores, this tool lets you selectively access and export data without needing to overwrite your current iPhone content.

It works by scanning the iTunes backup files stored on your computer (or in iCloud), decrypting them if necessary, and then displaying the data in an organized, user-friendly interface where you can preview and save individual files to your PC or Mac. After that, you can selectively extract photos from iPhone backup in a simple way.
