from prying eyes. Every photo & document is encrypted directly on your device using
military-grade AES encryption — no cloud upload required, no third-party
servers, no account sign-up. Your photos stay yours.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔒 MILITARY-GRADE ENCRYPTION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Photos are encrypted using AES-256 with keys stored in the Android
Keystore — the same hardware-backed security used by banking apps.
Thumbnails are encrypted separately so nothing is ever visible without
your password. Even if someone accesses your device storage, your photos
are completely unreadable without the vault key.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🗂️ MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT VAULTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Create as many vaults as you need, each with its own password. Keep work
photos separate from personal ones, or share a vault with a family member
while keeping your private vault completely separate. Every vault is an
isolated, independently encrypted container.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👆 BIOMETRIC UNLOCK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Enable fingerprint or face unlock for any vault — open it in seconds
without typing a password every time. Biometric unlock is optional and
configured per-vault, so you stay in control of which vaults require full
password entry.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⏱️ AUTO-LOCK TIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Set a timer to automatically lock any vault after 1, 2, 5, 10, or 30
minutes of inactivity. Perfect for situations where you hand your phone
to someone and don't want your private photos accidentally exposed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
☁️ ENCRYPTED CLOUD BACKUP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Back up any vault to your Google Drive with a single tap. Backups are
password-encrypted before they leave your device — not even Google can
read them. Restore on any Android device by entering your vault password.
Your backup is only as accessible as your password, not your Google account.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📤 SHARE & TRANSFER VAULTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Export any vault as a single encrypted file and share it via WhatsApp,
Bluetooth, Email, Telegram, or any other app. The recipient imports the
file and enters the password to restore it. A secure way to hand off a
collection of photos without exposing them in transit.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🖼️ IN-VAULT IMAGE ACTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Long-press any image to enter multi-select mode. Select multiple photos
and share them, export them back to your gallery, or delete them — all
without leaving the app. Your photos are decrypted on the fly and never
written to unencrypted storage during the process.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌙 DARK MODE & SCREENSHOT PREVENTION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Comfortable to use day or night with full Material You dark mode support.
Screenshot and screen recording prevention is always active inside vaults,
so your photos can't be captured by other apps or screen recorders.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🆓 FREE & PREMIUM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SafeViewer is free to use with up to 50 images across your vaults.
Upgrade to Premium once for unlimited images across unlimited vaults —
no subscriptions, no recurring charges, yours forever.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔐 PRIVACY FIRST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• No account required
• No internet permission for viewing photos
• No ads
• No analytics on your photos
• Everything stays on your device
