You use the finest quality equipment to capture the perfect pictures. Now use the finest quality storage system to keep them safe for life.

Swiss Picture Bank is the only service that ensures photos will never be deleted, never become corrupted, and will always be accessible.

Swiss Picture Bank, stores photos in the state-of-the-art Hitachi Content Archive Platform (HCAP). It is the ultimate in scalable, permanent and reliable data storage. Thanks to the HCAP, your photos can't be deleted or corrupted - ever.

After the HCAP, your photos are backed in three more remote facilities: a secondary hard drive array and two separate magnetic tape systems. One tape is secured in an Army bunker designed to withstand atomic blasts and both are kept offline to avoid viruses, corruptions, and other digital hazards.

With your personal account, you can access your photos online 24/7. And there are never any additional charges for account activity or file retrieval.

Photo sites like AOL Pictures and Digital Railroad have gone out of business losing every photo of every user. It's the nature of the economy – and there's no telling when the next storage service will go under.

Swiss Picture Bank is the only site with service continuity protection thanks to our exclusive relationship with the Foundation for Data Permanence (FDP).

The FDP is a nonprofit organization designed to ensure the preservation of data stored online. With its patent-pending financial program, the FDP makes sure your photos will always be accessible to you, even if we're not. Learn how it works.

Swiss Picture Bank is the only photography storage solution that comes with a guarantee: Your photos will always be safe and accessible for 99 years. If any of them are lost or damaged, we won't just give you your money back; we'll give you double what you paid to store them. We offer this guarantee for one reason – we know our system is the safest in the world.

Other services require subscriptions or monthly fees for storage. If you miss a payment, your photos could be deleted. Stick with hard drives and other storage devices and you'll need to buy replacements every few years.

Here, you simply buy storage space as you need it – and the more space you buy, the more money you save. There's no fear of missing a payment or the penalization that comes with it. Once stored, your photos are safe for life with no additional fees, ever.

All of Swiss Picture Bank's facilities are powered by hydroelectricity and other clean energies. Our system is 98% carbon free, so your storage doesn't rely on fossil fuels, reducing your carbon footprint. So when you save your photography at Swiss Picture Bank, you're saving the planet, too.
