What is KeepSafe?
We’ve always believed in true backup—that means having two copies in two different places. After all, if your files exist in only one spot, they’re not really backed up.
Until now, that sometimes meant tough choices. If your phone, tablet, or computer was running out of space, you had to either live with it, move files around yourself, or delete files and hope nothing went wrong. None of those options are ideal.
That’s exactly why we created KeepSafe.
KeepSafe is part of our mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android, and it protects what is on those devices — not files that live on your computer. It securely stores an extra copy of all your photos, videos, and contacts on Picture Keeper’s private servers, giving you peace of mind without taking up space on your devices. You can keep your files safe without cluttering your phone or tablet—and if something happens to your Picture Keeper drive, you’re still protected.
Picture Keeper has always been a simple, reliable way to keep your files close at hand. KeepSafe adds an extra layer of protection off-site, so your memories are safe even if a device is lost, damaged, or replaced. It doesn’t replace your Picture Keeper—it makes it even better.
What’s Included with KeepSafe?
Automatic, worry-free protection
KeepSafe starts backing up your photos as soon as you turn it on — no manual steps required. It runs quietly in the background, making sure every new photo is safely saved.
Powerful ways to explore your memories
Access your photos anytime with tools to view, download, and share. Smart search uses image recognition to find photos by the people, objects, and scenes in them. You can also organize albums, mark favorites, browse photos on a map, and clean up near-duplicate shots.
Original quality, unlimited storage
Store unlimited photos and videos in full resolution. They’re kept exactly as you captured them.
Flexible uploads you control
Uploads can be paused or resumed at any time, and KeepSafe automatically skips photos that are already backed up — no duplicates, no wasted space.
Plan for the future with digital beneficiaries
KeepSafe lets you designate up to two trusted digital beneficiaries who can access your stored photos when it matters most. It’s a simple way to ensure your memories are passed on securely and according to your wishes.
Drive replacement for added peace of mind
KeepSafe subscribers (not including 1-month free trial users) get one free drive replacement if their Picture Keeper drive is ever lost, damaged, or stops working. That means you can get back up and running quickly without losing access to your protected photos.
Simple subscriptions, shared across your mobile devices
Your KeepSafe subscription is linked to your Picture Keeper account, so one purchase covers every phone and tablet you sign in to with the same account.
