New Delhi: Tech giant Google on Friday introduced Google Photos that will allow users to backup and store unlimited high-quality photos and videos for free.
Google Photos a standalone product that gives users a home for all their photos and videos is aimed at helping users to organise, share and save what they think is important, the Mountain View headquartered company revealed in a blog post.
Google will maintain the original resolution up to 16MP for photos, and 1080p high-definition for videos, and store compressed versions of the photos and videos in print-quality resolution.
Commenting on the launch, Anil Sabharwal, head of Google Photos said: "Photos and videos become littered across mobile devices, old computers, hard drives and online services (which are constantly running out of space).
"It`s almost impossible to find that one photo right at the moment you need it, and sharing a bunch of photos at once is frustrating, often requiring special apps and logins."
"With this launch we`ve made a lot of progress towards eliminating many of the frustrations involved in storing, editing and sharing users` memories," he added.
