PhotoViewer: Safe Gallery
Safe photo and video viewing
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
View photos and videos together without editing, deleting or sharing. Free basic version, a 7-day Plus trial and permanent unlock with no subscription.
PhotoViewer makes sharing photos and videos simple and safe — especially for families with children.
You decide which media can be viewed. While browsing, photos and videos cannot accidentally be edited, deleted, moved or shared. The protected parent area uses a personal PIN or, optionally, iPhone authentication.
FREE BASIC VERSION
• View photos and videos full screen
• Swipe through media with simple controls
• Show all media, photos only or videos only
• Protect the parent area with a personal four- or six-digit PIN
• Allow iCloud downloads on Wi-Fi only or disable them completely
• Light and dark appearance matching the iPhone setting
• No advertising, tracking or user account
PHOTOVIEWER PLUS
PhotoViewer Plus adds useful family features:
• Create separate child profiles
• Select specific albums for each profile
• Run automatic slideshows with adjustable intervals and random order
• Open the parent area with Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode
• Show or hide a compact thumbnail preview
• Adjust the protected hold duration for leaving the media viewer
• Limit a media session to 1–60 minutes
• Extend expired time after protected parent confirmation
PhotoViewer Plus is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription.
TRY PLUS FREE FOR 7 DAYS
The complete Plus feature set can be tried once for seven days at no cost. The trial ends automatically, does not renew, starts no purchase and causes no charge. The free basic version remains available afterwards. Saved profiles and settings stay on the device, while Plus-only features remain locked until Plus is purchased.
GERMAN AND ENGLISH
PhotoViewer automatically follows the iPhone language: German is used for German devices, and English is used for every other device language. You can also choose German or English manually in the app settings.
PRIVACY
PhotoViewer requires no account and contains no advertising, tracking or analytics. Photos, videos, profiles and settings are not uploaded to developer-operated servers. iCloud media is loaded only through Apple services.
Tip: For an especially restricted viewing experience, also use Apple Guided Access. Step-by-step instructions are included in PhotoViewer.
