Local-first media workflow
Back up media cards with confidence.

No cloud upload required
Back up to multiple locations
Organise by metadata
Why creators use it
Less card chaos. More time making the work.
WildCard Backup is built for the real handoff between capture, editing, delivery, and long-term storage.
Organised from the start
Sort files into useful folders based on metadata so photos, video, and project assets are easier to find when the edit begins.
Clean cards for the next shoot
After confirming backups, clear source cards or folders so your media is ready for the next project instead of filling up in the field.
Move finished work to archive
When a project is complete, move selected files from backup drives to archive storage and free up working-drive space.
Local-first by design
Your photos, videos, and media files are copied between locations you choose. They are not uploaded to WildCard Backup servers.
Built for real media workflows
Photographers, video editors, drone operators, and creators can standardise the path from card to backup to archive.
The workflow
From card to backup to archive, without the manual file shuffle.
- Capture your media Shoot photos, video, drone footage, or social content onto SD cards, media cards, or capture drives.
- Connect source and backup locations Use a laptop directly, or connect a mobile device through a USB-C hub with an SD card and backup drive.
- Press Back Up Now WildCard Backup copies new files to your backup destinations and can organise them automatically.
- Clean the source Once backups are confirmed, clean the source drive so the card is ready to capture more media.
- Edit from your backups Work with backed-up files in Lightroom, Photoshop, Final Cut, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or publishing tools.
- Archive completed projects Move finished files from backup drives to archive storage so working backup space is ready for the next project.
