Dual Backup System

Quick Backup

Fast & Lightweight: Tiny files with photo references only (~1KB per card). Perfect for regular backups, same device restore, and when you have reliable iCloud Photos sync. Fast operation keeps the regular backup flow simple.

Complete Backup

100% Restoration: Larger files that include your actual photos (~600KB per card, so 25 cards = ~20MB, 50 cards = ~60MB). Guaranteed cross-device restoration regardless of Photos app contents or iCloud sync. Perfect for device migrations and long-term archival.

Key Features

Easy Backup Choice

Simple Selection Screen: When you backup your cards, you'll see a clear choice between Quick and Complete backup. Each option explains exactly what it does, so you can pick what works best for your situation.

Better Cross-Device Photo Restore

No More Missing Photos: The biggest frustration with card apps has always been photos disappearing when you get a new phone. Complete Backup is designed to make that restore process much more reliable.

Smart File Organization

Clearly Named Backups: Your backup files now show whether they're Quick or Complete right in the filename, so you always know what type you're working with. Your old backup files still work too.

Reliable Photo Restoration

More Reliable Restore: Photos now save more reliably and restore more consistently when moving between devices.
