Terms of use

Last updated 12 November 2026

These terms cover the sync.photos apps for iPhone, Android and Mac, and this website. sync.photos moves photos and videos directly between devices you own; we never receive your library.

01

Agreement

By installing or using sync.photos you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the apps. The app store you install from may add its own terms, which also apply.

02

Who provides it

sync.photos is made by the sync.photos team. You can reach us at hi@sync.photos.

03

Your content stays yours

  • Your photos, videos and albums remain yours. We claim no rights in them and never receive them.
  • You are responsible for the content you sync and for having the right to copy it to your devices.
  • Sync only adds: sync.photos does not delete photos on your other devices.
04

Acceptable use

  • Pair only devices you own or are allowed to use, and only confirm pairing when both screens show the same six digits.
  • Don’t use sync.photos to access someone else’s photos or devices without permission.
  • Don’t overload, probe or misuse the connection or relay services, except for good-faith security research reported as described on our security page.
  • Don’t use sync.photos in breach of the law.
05

Sync is not a backup

sync.photos keeps libraries in step; it is not a backup service. We hold no copy of your library and cannot restore it. Keep your own backup.

06

The connection service

Nearby sync works without our servers. Internet sync relies on a connection service that helps your devices find each other, and on relay servers if relay is enabled. We aim to keep them available but may change, limit or stop them.

07

Disclaimers

sync.photos is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.

08

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for photos lost on your devices, so keep your own backup. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.

09

Trademarks

Apple, iPhone, iPad, Mac, macOS, iCloud, Live Photos and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc. Android, Google Photos and Google Play are trademarks of Google LLC. They are used here only to describe compatibility; sync.photos is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple or Google.

10

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms we’ll update the date above and, for meaningful changes, tell you in the app before they take effect.
