Backing up and organizing phone photos

Phones get lost, stolen and broken. Set up automatic backups and simple organization so your photos are always safe.

Thousands of irreplaceable memories live on phones. Without backups, one accident can erase them.

Automatic cloud backup

Turn on iCloud Photos, Google Photos or OneDrive to upload new photos automatically on Wi-Fi.

A second backup

Cloud services are convenient but should not be your only copy. Periodically export photos to a computer or external drive.

Free up space wisely

Use the optimize storage option to keep smaller versions on your phone and full resolution in the cloud.

Organize with albums

Create albums by trip, event or client. Favorites and search features make finding images easy.

Delete duplicates and screenshots

Regularly delete blurry shots, duplicates and old screenshots to keep libraries manageable.

Shared albums

Shared albums let families and event guests contribute photos to one place.

Professional files

For client work shot on a phone, follow the same 3-2-1 backup rule as camera files.
