Stow: a free tool to verify your camera memory card backups before you format

By PR admin | Published: July 25, 2026

This is a guest post by Luke Lv, founder of Lumira Studio, a UK video production studio (Website | Instagram | YouTube | LinkedIn).

There is a small moment that I think most photographers and filmmakers will recognise. You are on the next shoot, you reach for a card, and realise it is still full from the last job.

Then the doubt starts.

Did I definitely back this up properly? Is everything on both drives? Is it actually safe to format? You probably did everything correctly. But when that card holds a full day of work, “probably” does not always feel good enough.

I started Lumira Studio in 2014, and this was something that bothered me for years. So we eventually built a small tool for our own team to remove that doubt.

It is called Stow, and we decided to make it free. It works on both Mac and Windows.
