PrivCamera provides you the highest level of encryption – 256 Bit AES – the same encryption standard is used by government and military.

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.
