I scrolled back through my camera roll this week and counted a little over 800 photos from this summer. Two trips, one wedding, and a lot of evenings that were not worth photographing but got photographed anyway.

Every one of them existed in exactly one place: my phone.

That is the part worth sitting with. One dropped phone, one stolen bag, one failed screen repair, and the whole summer goes with it. Nothing dramatic has to happen.

### What the sale gives you

Until September 30, the code **ENDOFSUMMER** takes 50% off your first payment on any paid Plan.

- **Code:** ENDOFSUMMER
- **Discount:** 50% off your first payment
- **Runs until:** September 30
- **Works on:** monthly and yearly Plans

To make that concrete: the 150 GB Plan costs €2.95 a month, so your first month is €1.48. Pay for a year up front and your first payment drops from €29.50 to €14.75.

The 16 GB Plan stays free with or without a code. If your summer fits in 16 GB, you do not need this offer.

### Already have a free account?

You do not need a second account to use the code. Open the [upgrade page](/promotions/end-of-summer-sale-upgrade/), copy ENDOFSUMMER, and apply it when you pick your Plan. Your Library, your Albums, and your shared links stay where they are.

### Where your photos actually end up

This is the reason I moved my own Library in the first place. With PixelUnion:

- We store your photos on servers in Europe.
- We encrypt them in transit over HTTPS and at rest.
- You decide who gets access to an Album, and you can withdraw that access later.

The [data security article](/help/other/data-security/) covers how that works.

### How to claim it

1. Open the [sale page](/promotions/end-of-summer-sale/) and copy the code.
2. Pick the Plan that fits your Library.
3. Paste **ENDOFSUMMER** at checkout.

Then install the mobile app and let it sync your camera roll. The first sync takes a while on a large Library. After that it runs in the background, and this summer stops living on one device.
