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!

We love to use our digital camera to takes pics of everything….who doesn’t? Lots of pics of my husband and me and our 5 year old son and our home in the country. But how devastating it would be to have the computer crash and take them all away? This would be a great product to win! Thanks!

We would be storing those baby (and current) pics of our little guy. We usually store photos, due to having had several computer “hiccups” – but it would be wonderful to get them all in one place rather than spread around as they are.

Great giveaway! I’ve got 300 plus pics from our recent Disney trip!! Including hugs from Minnie, Mickey, Tigger, Pooh and LOTS more!!
Tracy
You mean the pictures actually come out of the digital camera-hmm :)
This would be an awesome thing for us as we “store” all our pictures in the camera as we are afraid to lose them and haven’t taken the time to put on computer and back up. Thanks for the chance!
Melanie
I have thousands of pictures on my computer, not only of my son but including several of my Dad and two grandfathers who have all died in recent years (and months) and it would DEVASTATE me to lose any. My family are all in Australia and the photos they email me are so precious. The pictures I have of my son with his great-grandfather are irreplaceable – he died last month. I am soooooooo sentimental about my photos.

I would LOVE this! My computer is so bogged down with all of our pictures and I don’t have the time to burn them all to cd. I would use this to store all of our precious family photos.

Omgosh, I really need this! Very cool, thank you for the giveaway! I take lots and lots of pictures each month of my children and the things we do, and I would hate to lose any of them! You’re right, backing up is a major PITA!
