iCloud.com is a great way to access all of your iCloud data whether you're on a Mac or PC. Just sign in and you can use apps like Mail, Photos, and even the iWork suite in your browser. Any changes you make on iCloud.com sync to your devices, just as they would if you made them on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You can also recover information that you had previously deleted from iCloud.com — here's how!

How to use iCloud Photo Library on the web

The Photos apps for iOS and Mac are fast, convenient, and pack a lot of punch with their convenient features, but there might come a time when you don't have either device — or their photo libraries — available to you.

If you use Apple's iCloud Photo Library service, however, you can access every image or video you've stored on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad — either from another device of yours logged in to iCloud or straight from any web browser.
