Comparison
A browser-based alternative to FixMyExport
Updated
FixMyExport (formerly ExportSnaps) is the closest thing to a direct competitor and it is a good product. It processes everything on your own machine, it is honest about doing so, and its free tier is a real one: 200 files, against 500 here. The real differences are price and shape: it is a $14.99 app you install on Mac, Windows, iPhone or Android, and this is a $5 web page with nothing to install.
| FixMyExport | KeepMySnaps | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $14.99 one-off for unlimited processing, or $19.99 with sending to your own Google Drive or Dropbox. | $5 one-off, up to 4 of your browsers. |
| Free tier | Up to 200 files free, which is genuinely generous. | First 500 files free. |
| Where files are processed | Entirely on your device. Nothing uploaded. | Entirely in the browser tab. Nothing uploaded. |
| What you install | An app: Mac, Windows, iPhone or Android. | Nothing. |
| On a phone | Apps for iPhone and Android, installed from the store. | The same web page, nothing to install. |
| Dates, GPS, captions | All three, with time zones, and overlays merged onto photos and videos. | All three, with time zones: each time on the clock of the place it was taken. Captions drawn into videos, in the browser. |
| Long videos cut into clips | Stitches supported split videos. | Joined back into one file when the order is certain. |
| Around the photos | Their privacy policy lists an account, a device identifier or fingerprint, export and error logs, analytics, Microsoft Clarity session recording on their website, and, if you opt in, your email shared with Google and Meta for advertising. | No account, no analytics, no cookies. A purchase keeps a Stripe session id and a random name for each browser, and that's the whole record. |
When FixMyExport is the better choice
Plainly: under 200 files, both are free, so use whichever you prefer. Between 200 and 500, only this one still is.
A native app can't be put to sleep by the browser, which matters on a fifty-gigabyte archive. Here, a run that stops in Chrome or Edge carries on where it left off, and a full disk gets handled instead of ending the run.
We agree on the thing that matters most: neither of us uploads your photos. The difference is everything around them, and it's in the table. Read their privacy policy and ours, and pick what you're comfortable with.
When this one is the better choice
- You don't want an app on your phone. Theirs is a download from the store, with an account behind it. This is a web page you close when you are finished, and nothing stays on the phone.
- You don't want to install anything. Some people won't download an executable to handle their entire photo history, and that's a reasonable instinct rather than paranoia.
- You're over 200 files and counting the cost. The first 500 free against 200, then $5 against $14.99 for the same job.
One thing to check whichever you pick
Ask how the tool pairs each photo with its entry in the JSON when several memories share a day. Nothing in the JSON names a file, so the answer matters. This site matches each photo to its own entry exactly. A tool that pairs them by order instead can put a pin on the wrong photo, and a pin on the wrong photo looks exactly like a pin on the right one.
On a real export that gave 99% of memories their own location, with every row marked exact, approximate or blank in the CSV. That is not a claim about anyone else's tool; it is a question worth asking of all of them, including this one.
