PicHide: Private Photo Vault

PicHide is a private photo vault that hides photos and videos behind a PIN or your fingerprint. Everything is encrypted on your phone, with no account and no cloud, and nobody else can open it, not even us.

Hide photos from your gallery in two taps: pick them, and PicHide encrypts them and offers to remove the originals from your camera roll. Your private photos, videos and documents then live in a secret album only your PIN can open. Most photo vault apps push you into an account and their cloud. PicHide keeps your private pictures on your own phone, encrypted with AES-256.

🔒 A PHOTO VAULT WITH REAL ENCRYPTION
• Every photo, video and file is encrypted with AES-256 the moment it arrives
• Names, dates, albums and thumbnails are encrypted too
• The key is protected by your PIN and by your phone's secure hardware
• Photos and videos are decrypted in memory to show them, never saved unencrypted
• No account, no sign-up, no cloud: nothing is ever uploaded

📷 HIDE PHOTOS AND HIDE VIDEOS IN SECONDS
• Pick photos and videos in the Android photo picker, no gallery permission needed
• Remove the originals from your gallery in one tap, confirmed by Android itself
• Hide files and documents too: ID scans, PDFs, anything
• Private albums, a clean grid and a smooth full-screen viewer with zoom
• Videos play straight from the encrypted vault
• Share a copy or unhide back to your gallery whenever you want

🛡 A GALLERY LOCK THAT JUST WORKS
• PIN of 4 to 8 digits, plus fingerprint or face unlock
• Locks the moment you leave the app, or after a delay you choose
• Hidden from the Recents screen and from screenshots
• Deleted items wait 30 days in Recently deleted, so a slip never costs you a photo
• Short, honest waits after wrong PINs, never a lockout on the right one

💎 PICHIDE PLUS
• Unlimited photos, videos, files and albums
• Encrypted backup to a file you keep, restore on any phone with your PIN
• Private camera that shoots straight into the vault, never the gallery
• Decoy PIN: a second PIN that opens a separate, harmless vault
• Break-in alerts: a front-camera photo after wrong PINs, kept inside the app
• No ads
• Monthly or yearly, with a free trial on the yearly plan. Cancel any time in Google Play

FREE, WITH NOTHING HELD HOSTAGE
The free photo vault holds 50 items with the same encryption, fingerprint unlock and gallery cleanup. It shows a small banner on the album list and an occasional ad after an import, never while you look at your photos. Restoring a backup is always free.

HONEST ABOUT PRIVACY
Because nobody else holds your key, a forgotten PIN cannot be reset by anyone. PicHide tells you so up front and reminds you to keep a backup. That is what real privacy means.

Whether you want a photo vault for private pictures, a photo locker for ID scans and documents, a secret album for videos, or simply a way to hide photos from your camera roll, PicHide keeps it calm, fast and private.
