# Import images

With ACDSee Pro 2.5 you can access photos that are already on your system, in real time, through the Folders pane, without importing them. You can also easily import your images from cameras, cards, flash drives, phones, CD/DVDs, and other storage devices.

In the Import From dialog:

- View and select the files on the device by a particular date or file type.
- Save a particular set of options to use later by clicking the Save icon.
- Create a backup set of the imported files.
- Rename your files during import.
- Organize your files by adding categories, tags and other information.
