Back up your photos and videos to Google Photos — automatically
Point PixBack at a folder and every new photo or video uploads itself to Google Photos in the background — no cables, no manual exports, nothing to remember.
Set it once. Never think about backup again.
- Google discontinued desktop backup to Google Photos in August 2026 — PixBack brings that functionality back, so nothing changes in how you use your library.
- No more dragging files into a browser tab every time you import from a camera or drone.
- Set it once. It watches your folders and does the rest, silently.
