Canon to Launch Photo and Video Cloud Service 'Image.Canon' in April

Automatic Transfer Enabled on Cameras with File Auto-Send Feature
Large Files Transferred in Original Quality...Stored for 30 Days Without Size Limits

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Canon announced on the 26th that it will launch the cloud service 'image.canon' in April, which transfers photos taken with cameras to PCs, smartphones, and external web pages.

'image.canon' is a new cloud platform that connects Canon cameras to users' PCs, smartphones, and external web services. The new cloud service provides a function to store users' content and directly transfer results to external services such as Google Drive. One advantage is that large RAW files or 4K high-resolution video files can be uploaded in their original form.

When connected via Wi-Fi to a Canon camera equipped with automatic file transfer, images and videos can be automatically sent. The transferred content is stored in storage for 30 days without capacity limits. After 30 days, it moves to a long-term storage space with a capacity of 10GB for additional preservation. Canon plans to provide an environment where high-quality photos and videos can be easily shared on SNS and YouTube, and photo and video editing work is possible.

Starting in June, Canon plans to expand its partnership with Google to include original quality backup to Google Photos through Google One, storage expansion membership plans, Adobe Creative Cloud membership plans, and more. It will also provide the function to edit images in original quality within partner services and applications.
