Your photos are priceless

Phones get lost, stolen, or broken — and years of memories can disappear in seconds. Cloud storage isn’t perfect either. It comes with monthly fees, limited space, and privacy concerns. You shouldn’t have to choose between convenience and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an internet connection? expand_more

TonfotosSync tries to connect using the last known IP address. If your phone and computer are on the same network and the app can reach that IP, the backup will work without an internet connection.

If the IP has changed or the devices are on different networks, an internet connection is needed to establish a new connection.

Is my data really private? expand_more

Yes. Unlike cloud services, we don't have servers that store your photos. The data travels directly from your phone to your PC. We never see your photos.

What if the sync is interrupted? expand_more

No problem. TonfotosSync is smart - it remembers exactly where it left off and will automatically resume once the connection is restored.

Can I back up multiple phones? expand_more

Absolutely. You can connect as many mobile devices as you like to a single Tonfotos installation on your computer.
