SnapVault: Photo Backup to S3

Back up your iPhone photos and videos to cloud storage you own. SnapVault syncs your camera roll to your own S3 bucket on AWS, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi or MinIO, and you pay your storage provider directly.

SnapVault connects to an S3-compatible bucket in your own account and copies your camera roll into it: photos, videos, or both. Uploads go straight from your iPhone to your bucket. There is no SnapVault server in between, so we never see your photos.

WORKS WITH ANY S3-COMPATIBLE STORAGE
- Amazon S3 (AWS)
- Cloudflare R2
- Backblaze B2
- Wasabi
- DigitalOcean Spaces and Vultr
- MinIO on your own server, NAS or home lab
- Any other S3 endpoint

SET IT ONCE, LET IT RUN
- One tap on the power button starts or stops the sync
- Backups keep running in the background, and you get a quiet notification when a batch finishes
- Only new files upload: SnapVault skips what is already in your bucket, so nothing duplicates
- Live progress: photos and videos on the device, files synced and files left
- Wi-Fi only mode keeps your mobile data untouched
- Include or skip videos with one switch
- Parallel uploads to clear a big library faster
- Keep several buckets, per phone, per family member or per provider, and pick the active one

YOUR CLOUD, YOUR KEYS
Paste an endpoint, region, bucket name and access keys, and SnapVault tests the connection before saving. Your files land in standard formats you can open with any S3 client, so your archive of memories stays yours even if you delete the app. Pay your storage provider directly at object-storage rates instead of renting a fixed tier.

WHO IT IS FOR
- iPhone owners whose photo library has outgrown a free plan
- Families who want one private backup destination they control
- Developers and self-hosters who already run AWS, R2, B2, Wasabi or MinIO
- Anyone who wants to organize their backups across more than one bucket or provider
