Back up your iCloud Photos and iPhone media to your own external drive. Verify the copy, then optionally free up iCloud space. OwnYourPics helps you back up your iPhone Photos and iCloud Photos library to your own external drive - without uploading your media to another cloud Choose photos and videos, connect a USB-C drive, SD card, or supported Lightning storage setup, then copy your original media to the backup folder you choose! OwnYourPics verifies the copied files and creates a backup report so you know what was saved. After a successful backup, you can optionally use Free Up Space to delete only verified backed-up items from Photos and iCloud Photos. Why OwnYourPics? • Back up photos and videos to your own drive • Works with external storage visible in the Files app • Supports USB-C iPhones and Lightning adapter setups • Copies original media where available • Supports photos, videos, Live Photos, and RAW resources • Creates backup reports in JSON and CSV • Verifies files before marking them backed up • Optional Free Up Space flow for verified items • No Apple ID login • No account required • No media uploads • No analytics or tracking Important notes: ‣ OwnYourPics cannot remove only the local copy of specific iCloud Photos items while keeping them in iCloud. For that, iOS provides Optimize iPhone Storage in Settings. ‣ External drives must appear in the iOS Files app before OwnYourPics can use them. Some Lightning iPhones and SSDs may require a powered adapter or hub. ‣ Deleting from Photos may also delete items from iCloud Photos and other synced Apple devices. Always check your external backup before using Free Up Space. ‣ OwnYourPics is designed for people who want simple, private, offline control over their photo and video library.
