About PhotoLock: Hide Photos, Videos
PhotoLock — Your photos and videos, for your eyes only. Hide them from your gallery, lock them with a PIN or fingerprint, and conceal the app itself. PhotoLock is a private vault app that safely stores the photos and videos you want to keep hidden. Imported photos disappear from your device gallery and remain only inside a vault locked with a PIN and biometrics — visible to you alone. Lock & Security PIN · Biometric Lock: Create a vault only you can open with a 6-digit PIN and Face ID or fingerprint. Auto-Lock & Screen Masking: Locks automatically when the app goes to the background, and hides its contents in the app switcher. Screenshot Blocking: Blocks screenshots and screen recording on vault and photo screens. Recovery Code: Forgot your PIN? Get back in with your issued recovery code. Vault & Albums Organize with Albums: Neatly group and manage photos and videos by album. Per-Album PIN: Set a different password for each album for double protection. Hidden Locked Albums: Locked albums have their covers concealed too, so no one can tell what's inside. Sort & View Modes: Sort by date created, name, or photo count, and switch between grid and list views. Importing Photos Hide from Gallery: Select multiple photos and videos from your system gallery and move them into the vault. Delete Originals: Delete the originals after importing so they're gone from your device gallery for good. Photos & Videos Alike: Store both images and videos securely in one place. Photo Viewer Comfortable Viewing: Swipe to browse and pinch to zoom for an immersive experience. Slideshow: Play through an album automatically and enjoy your photos. Share & Export: Share photos or export them back to your gallery. Details: Check the file name, resolution, size, date added, and more. Concealment & Peace of Mind Disguise Mode: Disguise the app as a calculator to hide its very existence — enter your PIN in the calculator and press = to get in. Decoy Vault: Under pressure, open with a fake PIN to reveal an empty vault instead of your real photos. Intruder Detection: After 3 failed PIN attempts, silently captures the intruder with the front camera. Trash: Deleted photos can be restored for up to 30 days. Settings Languages & Themes: Supports Korean and English, with dark and light themes applied automatically to match your device settings. Privacy Policy: See exactly what information is used and how, right inside the app. Data reset and app sharing are also available in settings. Recommended for Anyone who wants to safely store photos and videos they'd rather not show others Anyone who wants to hide specific photos when lending or showing their gallery Anyone who wants to hide not just the content, but the app's existence itself Anyone who needs a safety net for accidental deletions Remove Ads Subscription (optional) - Remove all ads with an auto-renewable subscription: monthly ₩3,900 / yearly ₩19,800 (local pricing may vary). - Payment is charged to your Apple ID account.
