## What is PhantomSnap?

Now free to download and use!

Hide your real photos in plain sight.

PhantomSnap encrypts your private images and replaces them in your photo library with ghost-like decoys — blurred or AI-modified versions that look harmless to others but can only be restored through PhantomSnap. These decoy images remain in your Photos app and sync to iCloud just like normal pictures. No extra backups. No hidden folders. No cloud dependency.

You don’t need to remember to export, upload, or manage external vaults. Just cloak and forget — until you decide to reveal.

- Encrypt any photo with a single tap  
- Replace originals with blurred or AI-modified decoy images  
- Keep the decoys in your regular Photos library  
- Originals are never uploaded or synced to cloud  
- Recover encrypted photos anytime
- No sign-up or account required

Use PhantomSnap to:
- Protect personal, sensitive, or confidential photos  
- Keep your Camera Roll looking clean and harmless  
- Avoid the risk of cloud loss or forgotten backups  
- Cloak your memories without actually hiding them

Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about staying in control.

Start cloaking your photos with PhantomSnap.
