## What is PixiSafe?

PixiSafe backs up your photos and videos straight to a USB drive plugged into your iPhone. No cloud, no subscription, no account. Your memories stay with you.

WHY PIXISAFE
Camera roll overflowing and iCloud full? PixiSafe copies all your photos and videos to a USB drive in minutes. You keep a real copy, on something you can hold in your hand.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Plug a USB drive into your iPhone (with an adapter if needed).
2. Pick the destination folder.
3. Start the backup. PixiSafe sorts everything automatically by year and month.

FAST AND RELIABLE
• Back up 1,000+ items in minutes.
• Incremental backup: only new photos are copied each time.
• Automatic resume if the drive is unplugged mid-way — nothing is lost, nothing is duplicated.
• Duplicate detection: a file already backed up is never copied again.

CLEAR ORGANIZATION
Your files are stored in a simple folder tree readable on any computer:
PixiSafe / Year / Month / Photos or Videos.
No proprietary format: your files stay your files.

RESTORE
Need your photos back? PixiSafe copies them from the drive to your camera roll.

100% LOCAL, 100% PRIVATE
PixiSafe connects to no server. Your photos never leave your iPhone and your drive. Nothing is analyzed, nothing is uploaded.

FREE WITH THE PIXISAFE DRIVE
The app is free. With an official PixiSafe USB drive, everything is unlocked automatically and forever, with nothing to enter. With a regular USB drive, you can back up 30 photos or videos for free to try it, then unlock unlimited backups with a one-time purchase (no subscription). The exact price is shown on the App Store and in the app.

Order your PixiSafe drive at pixisafe.fr.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.4 — 2026-08-18

Fixed the count shown at the end of a backup. If the drive disconnected briefly during copying, the reported total could be lower than the number of photos actually saved. No photo was ever lost, but the figure was needlessly alarming. The count is now accurate, and resuming after a disconnection picks up from the right place.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-08-11

The unlock price shown in the app now always comes from the App Store, so you see the exact amount you'll be charged, in your own currency.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-04

• Live Photos are now backed up with their motion and restored as real Live Photos. Your existing backups are completed automatically.
• Restore: your photos recover their original capture date, including those received through messaging apps.
• More accurate progress and time remaining during backup.
• Reliability improvements.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-03

• Drive full: PixiSafe now suggests plugging in another drive to continue — your existing backups stay intact.
• The "Rate the app" button now opens the App Store directly.
• Reliability improvements.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-26

No release notes.
