Built to keep things truly hidden
Whether it's personal photos, private documents, or memories you'd rather keep to yourself, Hide Photo gives you a simple, secure place to store them — protected behind a passcode and your face.
Secret, Passcode-Locked Albums
Create hidden albums sealed behind a private passcode. Move sensitive pictures out of your camera roll and into a vault that only you can open.
Face ID & Touch ID Unlock
Open your vault instantly with Face ID or Touch ID — no need to type your passcode every time, with all the same protection.
Encrypted In-App Storage
Photos, videos, and Live Photos are stored encrypted inside the app — never left sitting in your camera roll for anyone to stumble across.
Intruder Capture
If someone enters the wrong passcode, Hide Photo can silently snap a photo with the front camera and log every failed unlock attempt.
Disguised App Icon
Switch to an alternate icon so Hide Photo blends in on your home screen, and turn on auto-lock so the vault seals the moment you leave.
Organize Privately
Import straight from your library, sort everything into separate hidden albums, mark favorites, and add private notes — your way.
Private by design
Hide Photo was built so your media never leaves your hands. No account, no cloud uploads, no tracking — just a vault that lives on your device.
Stays on your device
Your media is stored encrypted inside the app on your own iPhone. Hide Photo has no account and uploads nothing to a server.
No ads, no data brokers
We do not sell, share, or mine your photos. There are no trackers and no advertising SDKs watching what you store.
You stay in control
You decide what to import, what to keep, and what to remove. Originals in your camera roll are only managed when you choose.
