How do I get photos off a broken iPhone, when I can't enter my passcode?

iMore Question

I have a iPhone 5 and the screen is cracked and it doesn't let me swipe to be able to enter my passcode. I have hundreds of pictures of my little girl on it and I am desperately trying to get them off the phone. Thank you!

Get the screen fixed... they'll still be there...

Were you using iCloud Photos and syncing/saving photos to iCloud? They're there...

Fixing a screen means they remove the broken one and replace it with a new unbroken one. That can and millions of people have it done already.
