They are both pretty much the same thing, but I think most people use "souvenir" while traveling and "keepsake" usually holds more sentimental value towards another person.
They can be used interchangeably since they're synonyms, but here are some examples.
"I went to Japan last year and bought some shirts as souvenirs, so I can remember my time there."
-----
"I was given a lighter my grandfather used to use, to have as a keepsake. I think of him whenever I use it."
I hope this helps!! 😄
