There are moments that you would like to capture, maintaining your privacy at the same time. PrivCamera provides you the highest level of encryption โ€“ 256 Bit AES โ€“ the same encryption standard is used by government and military. Every captured image is protected with password after the photo is taken. PrivCamera is an offline app, it stores all encrypted photos in a secure container. At the same time you can share your photos with anyone you want via internet messengers, email or the cloud. It only depends on your personal decision. While sharing a photo you can have an option to set a separate password for that particular picture. PrivCamera provides the highest level of security for free. A paid subscription allows you to raise the quality level of photos, it also allows you to encrypt photos from outside the application (e.g. a gallery) and of course supports the developer.
