      You need use file manager to move files.

      Your Galaxy S4 comes with My Files app (under Samsung folder). Start the app will show you all files available. Select the photos, tap menu key(left button), you can find Move or copy options. Then you need choose destination.

      Of course, you can use any other third-party file manager, for example, ES File explorer.

      You can also connect your S4 to aPC using the USB cable. Then you can manage all files on PC.
