Simple albums that stay organized
Separate albums let you group private media by purpose. Custom ordering and pin-to-top controls make frequently used collections easier to reach. Individual album locks add protection to selected collections.

Hide Photos: Secret AlbumMade for privacy.
Designed for ease.
A private photo vault should feel effortless to use. Explore the real Hide Photos interface, flexible album organization, decoy spaces, encrypted backups and genuine user feedback.
Designed for everyday use
Privacy without extra complexity
A good vault should help you find what you saved, rather than make every visit feel like a setup task.
Responsive bulk photo and video imports
Batch importing and encryption have been optimized using concurrent work and fewer unnecessary interface updates. The aim is to reduce blocking when working with many files. Actual speed depends on device, media sizes, available storage, and whether originals must download from iCloud first.
Up to three decoy vaults
Configure multiple alternate spaces with separate PINs instead of relying on a single secondary gallery. Feature availability can depend on your app version and Pro entitlement. Decoy vaults help with casual access separation, not every possible threat.
Intruder Alert is available
The released app also includes an Intruder Alert feature. Review the feature and its controls in the app settings; this page does not assume a specific alert method, data collection behavior, or notification destination.
Local encryption you can move
Vault media uses on-device AES-GCM encryption without a Hide Photos cloud-storage account. Create an encrypted backup file and restore on a new iPhone with the required credentials. You remain responsible for the backup's location and safekeeping.

User feedback
Ease of use is a reason people stay
★★★★★
“편하게 사용할수있어서 좋아요”
“I like it because it's easy to use.” — English translation
This is a single Korean App Store review provided by the developer, describing version 1.6. It is not a verified aggregate rating, an independent usability study, or a review of later additions. The translation preserves the short, positive meaning of the original comment.
Choosing a photo vault
What makes Hide Photos different for some people?
The right choice depends on whether you prioritize cloud convenience, separate protection, easy organization, or keeping your vault under your own control.
No extra account to create
Hide Photos is local-first and does not require a developer account. A cloud-synced vault may be more convenient if you want provider-managed recovery, but that is a different storage choice.
Access options beyond one PIN
A main PIN, optional Face ID, album-level locks, and up to three decoy vaults provide flexible ways to separate access. These are practical controls, not guarantees against coercion or device compromise.
Organization, not just hiding
Custom album sorting and pinning help turn a vault into a library you actually use. For people who regularly return to saved photos and videos, organization can matter as much as encryption.
Backup without provider-managed sync
You can export and restore your encrypted vault instead of depending on a Hide Photos cloud account. The tradeoff is manual backup responsibility: test restores and preserve your PIN and backup file.
This is the developer's product explanation, not an independent benchmark or an assertion that all other vault apps are slower, less secure, or harder to use. For a specific competitor comparison, see the Keepsafe alternatives guide.
