Scan your library
PhotoShark summarises your photos and videos before backup, including rough counts and sizes by year.

PhotoShark downloads are swimming this way.

What PhotoShark will do
Back up the originals. Build a tiny, powerful map of your memories.
PhotoShark is being built to save your real photos and videos safely, while also creating a lightweight visual index so huge libraries can be browsed quickly without constantly touching the giant original files.
Choose where they go
Back up to an external drive on your computer, with S3 support planned for later.
Create a fast visual index
Alongside your originals, PhotoShark creates lightweight thumbnails, dominant colours, metadata, and JSON indexes.
Browse them beautifully
The extracted data can power fast web galleries today and experimental 3D or VR viewers in the future.
Why not just launch nothing?
Because PhotoShark is more than a download button. This page lets early visitors understand the mission, lets search engines discover the site, and gives interested users somewhere to raise a fin.
