Pixvio’s private photo vault hides photos from your main gallery and can encrypt them with AES-256 on your phone. You unlock it with your face or fingerprint. Photos are never uploaded and there is no account.
Hide or encrypt: your choice
Some photos just need to be out of sight, like documents, receipts or surprise gifts. Others need real protection. Pixvio lets you hide photos from the main gallery, or fully encrypt them so they cannot be opened without unlocking the vault.
How the vault keeps photos safe
- AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by banks and governments
- Encryption happens on your phone, so your photos are never sent to a server
- Face or fingerprint unlock, so only you can open the vault
- No account, so there is no password database to leak
