## Description

**Private Camera** is a secure Chrome extension designed to keep your photos truly private and personal. It features an encrypted photo vault protected by a 6-digit PIN, ensuring your pictures are safe from unauthorized access. Unlike typical photo locker apps, it includes a built-in camera to snap photos directly within the app, automatically storing them securely.

Your private photos are isolated in a dedicated gallery, hidden from your phone's regular gallery and file managers. With full-screen viewing, pinch zoom, sharing, and deletion options available only inside the app, you have complete control. The vault auto-locks when you exit, providing seamless security. Privacy remains top priority with Private Camera, making it easy and safe to keep your private images protected.
