Google Photos can back up all your photos and videos. There are two quality options.

High quality
  • Unlimited free storage.
  • Regular cameras: Recommended for phones or point-and-shoot cameras that are 16 megapixels (MP) or less.
  • Uses: Good for typical printing and sharing.
  • Size: Saves high-quality photos and videos while reducing size.
Original
  • Limited free storage: Uses storage in your Google Account, regardless of photo or video size.
  • DSLR cameras: Recommended if you take photos with a DSLR camera and want to maintain the exact original quality.
  • Uses: Recommended for printing large banners or to store original files.
  • Size: Stores your photos and videos exactly as you captured them.
    If you use a Pixel phone, you get free unlimited storage at original quality. You won't be able to back up your photos and videos in high quality.
So, if you want a free backup option for photos, and aren't a photog, you can use the Google Photos free option (you know, as long as you don't mind Google running its learning algorithms through your photos, and whatever other privacy you give up for it being free).
