## What is Tornado Gallery?

Tornado Gallery - Private Photo Vault
Your photos. Your device. Your rules.

Tornado Gallery encrypts your pictures directly on your device using industry-standard encryption. No accounts. No cloud. No servers. Just you and your passphrase.

How it works:
Select any photo from your gallery, choose a passphrase, and Tornado Gallery will visually encrypt it, transforming your image into an unreadable pattern that reveals nothing about its content. The encrypted file stays safely on your device or drive. Whenever you want to view the original, simply enter the same passphrase to restore it with zero quality loss.

Why Tornado IMG?
Most "private" apps still upload your data somewhere. Tornado Gallery never does. Encryption and decryption happen entirely offline, on-device, with no network calls, no telemetry, and no third-party services handling your images. Not even we can see what you store.
This will save you from social anxiety when giving your phone to friends, or simply by scrolling your gallery in public.

Features
• Secure encryption - proven, battle-tested. Even a single word wrong, and you won't restore any similar image
• 100% offline - no internet connection ever required
• Open source - don't trust me? Check the code out! Open source shows you how everything works
• Zero quality loss - restore originals pixel-perfect
• No account required - no sign-up, no login, no tracking
• Batch encryption - protect multiple photos at once
• Works with photos from your gallery or any accessible folder

Your privacy, guaranteed
Tornado Gallery was built around one principle: your private photos should never leave your hands. No servers to breach. No database storing your keys. No analytics tracking your usage. The app is a tool, it does exactly what you ask, locally, and nothing else.

Whether you're protecting sensitive documents, personal moments, or confidential work material, Tornado Gallery gives you enterprise-level encryption security without the complexity.

Simple. Private. Yours.
