# Snapshots Details

Generated on 25 Mar 2026

Snapshots are on-demand disk images of DigitalOcean Droplets and volumes saved to your account. Use them to create new Droplets and volumes with the same contents.

[Snapshots Features](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/details/features/index.html.md): Snapshots provide a full copy of a DigitalOcean Droplet or volume. Creating a snapshot saves everything from the Droplet or volume’s disk to a disk image saved in your DigitalOcean account. You can use snapshots to archive a Droplet or volume at a point in time. We also back up snapshots offsite for additional resiliency.

[Snapshots Pricing](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/details/pricing/index.html.md): Snapshots are charged at $0.06 per GB per month for Droplets and $0.06 per GiB per month for volumes.

[Snapshots Availability](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/details/availability/index.html.md): Snapshots are available for all Droplets and volumes across all regions.

[Snapshots Limits](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/details/limits/index.html.md): Limits and known issues for snapshots.
