How to Restore Files on Your New Device

It’s always exciting when you receive a new device during the holidays! While you probably want to get started using it right away, you must first transfer over all your information from the older device. Whether it’s the latest phone, tablet, or computer, Picture Keeper Connect makes it incredibly simple to transfer your photos, videos, and contacts over with just a few simple steps.

Before you begin to restore your files on your new device, you must first have all your photos, videos, and contacts backed up on your Picture Keeper Connect.
