Migrating to zeitkapsl

We provide tools and guides for migrating from other photo cloud services.

Google Photos

Download the Desktop app and follow this guide

iCloud

Download the zeitkapsl iOS app, enable access to your iCloud library, start uploading. That’s it!

Descriptions and titles in Apple Photos

Due to limitations on Apples side, we are not able to import titles, descriptions and manually edited timestamp/time zone data from Apple Photos

Importing hidden photos & videos

Due to limitations on Apples side, "Use Touch ID" has to be disabled in Apple Photos for zeitkapsl to be able to access hidden photos and videos.

To import your hidden photos and videos from Apple Photos, go to the Settings app and navigate to Apps -> Photos and disable the "Use Touch ID" toggle before logging into zeitkapsl. You can re-enable the toggle once your library has been fully imported and uploaded to zeitkapsl.

Dropbox and OneDrive

Export all your photos/videos from dropbox. Use the desktop app and point it to the downloaded directory.

Ente Photos

For ente.io migration we have a guide as well.
