Protect Your Photos Giveaway: Picture Keeper Digital Photo Storage Device

by Tara Kuczykowski on January 8, 2009 · 477 comments

Picture Keeper The holidays are over, and if you’re anything like me you’ve probably got dozens, if not hundreds, of digital photos stored on your computer right now. If you’re also like me, you probably worry from time to time about losing them. Backing them up to CDs can be time consuming and tedious with much of the software I’ve tried.

So I was thrilled when Picture Keeper sent me their little gadget to try. It’s a fantastically simple way to safeguard irreplaceable digital photos. You just plug the little USB device into your computer, and it does all the work for you. It finds all of the pictures stored on your computer and saves them safely to the device. The next time you plug it in, it only pulls in new photos so you never had to worry about duplicates! You can even schedule back up reminders on their site, which this busy mom definitely needs.

The Picture Keeper comes in two sizes, 4GB which holds 4,000 pictures and 8GB which holds 8,000 pictures. If you’re not sure which size you would need to store your photos, check out their tutorial.

Through January Picture Keeper is offering readers $15 off with the code DealForMoms. This makes the 4GB Picture Keeper only $25! I think that’s a price well worth the peace of mind that comes from knowing my photos are secure outside of my computer (assuming one of the kiddos doesn’t run off with the device, LOL).

Better yet, Picture Keeper has graciously given me an 8GB Picture Keeper to give away to one lucky Deal Seeking Mom Reader. I love it when companies let me share these fabulous products with you all!

To enter share a little bit about your favorite photo(s) are that you’d put on your Picture Keeper! I know I’ve got a lot of photos that I’d be upset over losing, but there are some that I’d be absolutely devastated over.

1 Audrey Smith January 9, 2009 at 9:11 am: I have recently gotten a Nikon D80 and become obessesed with getting that perfect shot everywhere I go. I’ve got to say that I’m pretty good too. I have a thumb drive but it is so tedious to transfer pictures too and this product would make me jump for joy!

Seriously, if I win I’ll take a picture of it!

9 Michelle January 9, 2009 at 10:01 am: We purchased our first digital camera after the birth of our first daughter 8 years ago. 3 children later, we have countless photos of their births and major and minor milestones. Pictures are stored on 2 separate harddrives. The picture keeper would definitely make keeping them safe and in one spot easy!
10 Diana January 9, 2009 at 10:02 am: We would definitely store wedding photos. also my sister and I wnt to Nepal in 2000 and those are very precious pictures.
11 Dee January 9, 2009 at 10:05 am: I would definitely protect all my photos of my daughter growing up, but also all of the family vacations, including those of just me and my sweetie. A few years back, we had the opportunity to go to Cabo San Lucas with his company and after we got back I downloaded the pictures on the computer. Before I had a chance to print off any, my computer crashed. Not only did I have those pictures, but all of my other digital pictures. Boy, I was fit to be tied! My husband and I just had the once in a liftime opportunity to go Italy last year – I would cry if I lost those.
