Encrypt Photos, Videos & Files

Features
Read full description

Keep personal photos, videos, documents and messages private before you share them. Encrypt Photos, Videos & Files protects content on your iPhone or iPad, then lets you share the encrypted result using the apps you already use. No account or cloud upload is required for encryption and decryption. ENCRYPT, THEN SHARE Choose a photo, video or file, or type a private message. Protect it with a password and share the encrypted content separately from the password. Original media quality is preserved when importing photos and videos. OPEN SHARED CONTENT Receiving and decryption are free. Open an encrypted file or paste encrypted text, then enter the password from the sender. Shareable opening instructions help recipients install the compatible app and get started. SEND TO A SPECIFIED DEVICE For additional control, Pro senders can encrypt for a recipient's device using a receiving credential. Recipients can share their credential as a message, file or QR code. Compare fingerprints before sending. Opening this content requires both the password and the matching receiving credential's private key on the recipient's device. START FROM THE SHARE MENU Send a supported item to Encrypt Files from the iOS share menu, then open the app to continue encrypting or opening it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Encryption and decryption run locally on your device. - AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption with Argon2id password-based key derivation. - Generate strong random passwords in the app. - File names are protected inside the encrypted package. - Set optional expiry and preview-only restrictions in the official app. FREE FEATURES - Text encryption. - Photo, video and file encryption up to 50 MB per item. - All receiving and decryption, including receiving credentials. ENCRYPT FILES PRO A one-time purchase unlocks encryption of videos and files over 50 MB, up to 2 GiB per item, and sending to a specified device. No subscription. If you previously purchased video encryption, restore that purchase to unlock all current Pro features at no additional cost. Purchasing and restoring require internet access; verified Pro access supports offline use. IMPORTANT The recipient needs a compatible version of this app. Keep your password safe: it cannot be recovered. Expiry and preview-only restrictions are enforced by the official app and do not guarantee destruction of retained copies or prevent screenshots or recording. Device-bound delivery does not provide guaranteed single-use access. Version 1.1.0 uses a new encrypted format and cannot open content encrypted by older app versions. Open or decrypt older content with its original compatible version before upgrading. Requires iOS 17 or later. Supports iPhone and iPad. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish and Arabic.
