Runs quietly in the background and works alongside any other storage destination you've already set up.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do you see my photos?

No. PixCarry runs entirely on your device and sends files directly to the storage destination you choose. We have no servers in the middle.

What storage destinations are supported?

Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible providers like Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MinIO), SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, PhotoPrism, a generic HTTP endpoint, and PixCarry Desktop — a small companion app for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Is Android supported?

Yes. PixCarry for Android is available on Google Play.

Where does my data live?

Wherever you point PixCarry. By default, we recommend your own S3 bucket, your home NAS, or a self-hosted PhotoPrism instance. The choice is yours.
