SnapVault: Private Photo Vault
Hide Photos & Secret Album
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your photos deserve real encryption, not Apple's fake Hidden Album. Join thousands protecting private photos with AES-256, break-in alerts, and a vault nobody can find.
The photo vault that catches snoopers.
SnapVault encrypts every photo and video with AES-256, locks your vault with PIN + Face ID, and secretly photographs anyone who enters a wrong PIN — so you always know who tried to snoop.
Unlike Apple's Hidden Album (which isn't encrypted and anyone with your passcode can access), SnapVault uses real military-grade encryption — the same standard used by banks and governments. Your photos are encrypted on-device before they're stored or synced. Nobody can see them. Not even us.
WHY SNAPVAULT
- Break-In Alerts — Wrong PIN? The app silently captures a photo of the intruder with timestamp and device info
- AES-256 Encryption — Every photo, video, and file encrypted on-device
- PIN + Face ID — Dual-layer authentication
- Fake Decoy PIN — Enter a second PIN to show an empty decoy vault. Fool anyone who forces you to open it
- CoverScreen Disguise — Your vault looks and works like a real VoiceMemo app. Nobody suspects a thing
- Secret Albums — PIN-protected albums within your vault for extra organization
HIDE PHOTOS & VIDEOS
- Bulk import from Camera Roll with optional auto-delete of originals
- In-App Camera captures directly into the vault — never touches your Camera Roll
- Full-resolution storage with original metadata preserved
BEYOND PHOTOS
- Document Safe — Encrypt and store IDs, passports, receipts, contracts
- Password Vault — AES-256 encrypted password storage
- Private Notes — Encrypted text notes for secrets, passwords, personal info
SYNC & BACKUP
- Encrypted Cloud Sync — Backup your vault across all your devices
- Everything encrypted before it leaves your device
FREE — NO CREDIT CARD REQUIRED
Store up to 50 items with full security. Every feature works in free mode. Upgrade only when you need more space.

HOW SNAPVAULT COMPARES
- Apple Hidden Album — Not encrypted. Anyone with your iPhone passcode can see it. SnapVault encrypts every file with AES-256 before storage.
- Calculator vault apps — Most store photos unencrypted behind a calculator screen. SnapVault combines a real disguise (CoverScreen) with real encryption.
- Other photo lockers — Many lock you out of your own photos unless you pay. SnapVault never holds your photos hostage. Free tier works with full security, forever.
WHO USES SNAPVAULT
- People who share a phone or tablet with family members

- Journalists and activists who need to keep sensitive photos and sources private
- Anyone who hands their phone to friends and doesn't want them swiping through the gallery
- Couples who want a private space for personal photos without awkward moments
- Professionals storing client documents, contracts, and receipts securely on mobile
