Every photo, proven safe.
Lightproof pulls photos off your camera or SD card into one clean, duplicate-free archive, verifies every copy, and can back them up to your own Google Photos.

What it does
Import from anything
SD cards, cameras over USB, watched folders, and your Apple Photos library — all into one clean, dated archive on your Mac.
Never a duplicate
A content-fingerprint manifest means re-importing the same card adds nothing. Exactly once, every time — renames and reformats can't fool it.
Proven, not assumed
Every copy is verified by reading it back. Lightproof tells you when a photo is truly safe — and when a card is safe to format.
Your own Google Photos
Optionally back up new photos straight to your own Google Photos library. Your photos and credentials never touch our servers.
