Your photos are not as private as you think.

Every app with gallery access can read your files. Every cloud service scans them. Your screen lock protects nothing.

👁️

Cloud services scan your photos

Google Photos and similar services analyse your images for ads, content moderation, and AI training — whether you read the terms or not.

📱

Any app can browse your gallery

Once you grant media permission, any installed app can read every photo and video you've ever taken. Your private moments are one permission away from exposure.

🔓

Your screen PIN is not encryption

If your phone is lost or stolen, photos are readable directly from the filesystem. A screen PIN is a speed bump. Real encryption is the only real barrier.

👨‍👩‍👧

Family members can see everything

Lend your phone for a minute — and anyone can scroll through your entire gallery. PixValt moves your private files completely out of the gallery.

📍

Every photo carries your location

Your camera silently embeds GPS coordinates, device model, and timestamp into every photo you take. Share an image — and you share your exact whereabouts.

🛠️

Repair shops have full access

Handing your phone to a technician for repair? They can browse every photo and video on your device. There is no consent screen for a service centre visit.

Two ways to protect your files.

Choose how much protection you need — per file, per folder, your way.

Safe Mode

Hide Without Encrypting

Files are moved out of your gallery into app-only storage in their original format. Instant. No encryption key needed. Invisible to every other app and the gallery.

  • Instant import — no processing time
  • File disappears from gallery immediately
  • Original quality preserved (JPG, MP4, etc.)
  • Invisible to all other apps
  • Perfect for hiding from family/friends
Vault Mode

Full AES-256 Encryption

Files are encrypted using your personal 6-digit key and stored as a proprietary .pvlt format that no other app or tool can open — even with physical device access.

  • 🔐 AES-256-CBC military-grade encryption
  • 🔐 Stored as .pvlt — unreadable by any other app
  • 🔐 Key derived from your PIN — never stored
  • 🔐 Safe even on rooted devices
  • 🔐 Google Drive backup of encrypted files

Simple to use. Impossible to break.

No account needed. No internet required. Encryption happens in seconds.

1

Open your gallery

Browse your device gallery or Google Drive directly inside PixValt. Select one photo or hundreds at once.

2

Move to vault

Choose Safe Mode (hide) or Vault Mode (encrypt). Files disappear from gallery instantly. Original securely deleted.

3

Only you can see it

Files live inside PixValt only. No gallery, no file manager, no other app — nothing can see them without your PIN.

4

Backed up safely

Encrypted files sync to your own Google Drive automatically. New phone? Enter your PIN and restore everything.

Lock it in.
Forget it's there.
AES-256 · On-device · Only you.

See it in action

A closer look at the vault, backup, and privacy features inside PixValt.

Everything locked in. Nothing leaking out.

Built for people who take privacy seriously — without needing a tech degree.

🔒

AES-256 Encryption

Military-grade standard used by banks and governments — applied to every file the moment it enters Vault Mode.

🫥

Safe Mode — Instant Hiding

Move files out of the gallery without encryption. Invisible to every app. Instant import regardless of file size.

📁

Folders with Per-Folder Password

Create named folders. Each folder gets its own PIN. Enable encryption per folder — the PIN becomes the encryption key.

👻

Hidden Folders

Mark folders as hidden — they vanish from the vault view. Reveal them only by triple-tapping the logo or drawing a secret pattern.

📵

100% On-Device

Encryption runs entirely on your phone. No internet needed. No PixValt server ever receives, sees, or stores your files.

☁️

Google Drive Backup

Back up your encrypted vault to your own Google Drive. Even Google cannot read the files — only your PIN decrypts them.

⏱️

Auto-Lock

Vault locks the moment you leave the app — 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 or 5 minutes. Configurable to your lifestyle.

🗑️

30-Day Trash Recovery

Accidentally deleted a file? Restore it any time within 30 days. After that, gone for good — no half-deleted files lingering.

🔍

Search, Sort & Filter

Full-text search. Sort by newest, oldest, name, or size. Filter by images, videos, favourites, or groups.

Favourites

Star the files you access most. One-tap filter shows only your favourites — no scrolling through hundreds of files.

📤

Secure Export

Need to share a file? Export a decrypted copy via your phone's share sheet. The vault copy stays encrypted — always.

🔄

Device Loss Recovery

Phone lost? Install PixValt on any Android, restore from Drive, enter your PIN — all files back. Zero data loss.

Built differently. By design.

Most vault apps dress a gallery up with a PIN screen. PixValt was built from scratch on real security principles.

✕ Most apps

A PIN screen around your gallery

The files sit in standard format. Bypass the screen lock and the photos are fully readable by any tool.

✓ PixValt

Two real layers of protection

Safe Mode moves files out of the gallery entirely. Vault Mode wraps them in AES-256 encryption. Your files don't exist to any other app.

✕ Most apps

Ads inside your private vault

Free vault apps sell attention. Your private photo library becomes a surface for targeted advertising.

✓ PixValt

Zero ads — in the free tier and in Pro

No ads. No analytics on your files. No profiling. Privacy is the entire point — we don't undercut it.

✕ Most apps

Files lost when phone is lost

Everything lives only on your device. Phone stolen, broken, or reset? Files are gone permanently.

✓ PixValt

Same PIN + new phone = full recovery

Encrypted files back up to your own Google Drive. On any Android, enter your 6-digit PIN and everything restores — in encrypted form, exactly as before.

✕ Most apps

One vault, one password, no structure

A single flat gallery with no way to separate personal, work, or sensitive files from each other.

✓ PixValt

Folders, per-folder passwords, hidden folders

Create named folders with individual passwords. Mark folders as hidden — they vanish until you reveal them with a triple-tap or drawn gesture.

✕ Most apps

Standard file formats, readable by anyone

Even "encrypted" apps often store JPEG or MP4 files that can be extracted with a file manager if the device is rooted.

✓ PixValt

Proprietary .pvlt format — unreadable by design

Every file is stored as .pvlt — our own format with a random IV per file. No app, file manager, or tool on Earth can open it without your PIN.

✕ Most apps

Cloud servers process your photos

Files are uploaded to a third-party server for "backup." You can't verify what happens to them once they leave your device.

✓ PixValt

100% on-device — no PixValt server, ever

Encryption runs entirely on your phone. Drive backup goes directly to your personal Google Drive — not our servers. Zero trust required.

Nothing to hide about how we protect you.

We publish exactly what encryption we use and how it works. No vague "military-grade" promises.

Algorithm

AES-256-CBC

The same encryption standard used by banks, governments, and the US military. 256-bit key — mathematically unbreakable by brute force.

Key Derivation

PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256

Your 6-digit PIN is stretched into a 32-byte encryption key using 100,000 iterations. Slow by design — makes brute force attacks impractical.

File Format

.pvlt (PixValt)

Every encrypted file is wrapped in our proprietary .pvlt format with a random 16-byte IV per file. No other app on Earth can open a .pvlt file.

Key Storage

In-Memory Only

Your derived key lives in memory only while the vault is unlocked. It is never written to disk, never sent anywhere, and wiped on app lock.

Server Access

Zero

PixValt has no servers that receive your files. Drive backups go directly to your personal Google Drive account — not ours.

App Protection

Play Integrity API

PixValt detects tampered or repackaged APKs using Google's Play Integrity API. Fake versions of PixValt cannot access your vault.

Your questions, answered.

Your 6-digit encryption PIN is the only thing that can decrypt your files. If you forget it, your encrypted files cannot be recovered — by you or by us. This is by design: true encryption means nobody has a backdoor. We recommend writing your PIN somewhere safe when you set it up. Your 4-digit app PIN (used just to open the app) can be reset without affecting your encrypted files.
No — and this is architecturally impossible, not just a promise. Encryption happens entirely on your device before any file is stored. PixValt has no servers that receive your files. Your encryption key is derived from your PIN and never leaves your device. Even if someone broke into our company, there would be nothing to steal.
Safe Mode moves files into app-only storage in their original format — invisible to the gallery and all other apps, but not encrypted. It's instant and great for hiding files from family members or casual access. Vault Mode encrypts files with AES-256 using your PIN, storing them as .pvlt format — unreadable even if someone has physical access to your phone's storage.
Full recovery. Enable Google Drive backup in PixValt → all your encrypted .pvlt files are uploaded to your own Google Drive. On a new phone: install PixValt → sign in to Google → go to Backup → Restore → enter your same 6-digit PIN. Since the key is derived deterministically from your PIN, the same PIN decrypts everything on any device.
The core vault is completely free — import, hide, encrypt, organise, search, and recover files at no cost, forever. Google Drive backup is a Pro feature. The first 200 people on the waitlist get Pro unlocked permanently for free. After that, Pro will be a small one-time purchase (no subscription).
Yes — completely. The vault works 100% offline. Encryption, decryption, viewing, organising — all happen on your device with no internet. Google Drive backup obviously requires internet, but it's entirely optional. Your vault is not dependent on any server being online.
.pvlt is PixValt's proprietary encrypted file format. Every encrypted file is wrapped with a unique header that includes a random IV (initialisation vector), content type, and format version — then the AES-256-CBC encrypted payload. No other app on Earth can open a .pvlt file. Even knowing the format specification is useless without the user's PIN.
