Moving an image means transferring it from one location to another, while copying an image means duplicating it and placing the duplicate in a different location while keeping the original image in its original location. Moving an image removes it from its original location, while copying an image leaves the original image intact.

Moving an Image:
- Definition: The original image is removed from its current location and placed in a new location. - Effect on Original: The original image no longer exists in its previous location. - Storage: Only a single copy of the image is present, located in the new destination. - Purpose: To relocate the image to a different directory, drive, or even a different computer.
Copying an Image:
- Definition: A duplicate of the original image is created and stored in a new location. - Effect on Original: The original image remains intact in its current location. - Storage: Two copies of the image exist: the original and the new copy. - Purpose: To create multiple copies of the same image for sharing, backups, or alternate uses.
Key Differences:
- Effect on Original: Moving removes the original while copying creates a new copy. - Storage: Moving transfers the image while copying duplicates it. - Purpose: Moving relocates the image, whereas copying creates additional copies.
Example:
- If you move an image from your Desktop to your Documents folder, the original image is no longer on the Desktop. - If you copy an image from your Downloads folder to your Pictures folder, both the original image in Downloads and the new copy in Pictures are preserved.
