Your photos deserve
real encryption.

PicVaultPro encrypts every photo and video in your browser before it leaves your device, and we can't read their contents. Optional AI face recognition runs on our own servers, with face data encrypted under a key we hold. Partner sharing, slideshows, and Fort Knox vaults round it out.

How PicVaultPro works

1

Encrypt on your device

AES-256-GCM encryption happens in your browser before any data is uploaded. Your encryption keys never leave your device.

2

Store securely

Encrypted files are stored in hardened cloud infrastructure. Without your key, the data is indistinguishable from random noise.

3

Share with control

Share with partners or friends via encrypted key exchange. Revoke access anytime and they lose access instantly.

On-Device Encryption

Your photos are encrypted before they leave your browser

Every photo and video is encrypted with AES-256-GCM directly in your browser. Your encryption password is never sent to our servers — we derive keys locally using Argon2id. Even if our servers were compromised, your data remains unreadable.

AI That Respects Your Privacy

Smart organization without giving Big Tech your photos

Face recognition, scene tagging, and video analysis all happen on servers we own and operate — not Google's, not Amazon's, not OpenAI's. Your photos are processed in isolated sessions and immediately discarded after analysis. No one sees your photos but you.

Zero data shared with third-party AI
Sharing & Fort Knox

Share securely. Hide what matters most.

Share photos and vaults with partners through encrypted key exchange. Need an extra layer? Fort Knox vaults require SMS 2FA every time — even if someone has your unlocked phone, they can't access Fort Knox without the code.

Invite your partner with a single tap — encryption keys are exchanged directly between your devices, so only the two of you can ever see what's inside. No cloud service, no admin, no one else.

Invite via email — keys exchanged device-to-device
Both partners can upload, view, and download
