2023 Author: Sheila Hailey | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-08-25 04:29
The free KeepSafe app is well suited to encrypt your pictures on Android. KeepSafe encrypts pictures and other files on your smartphone and provides them with a PIN. You can also backup your pictures in the cloud with the app. To encrypt your pictures with KeepSafe, proceed as follows:

- Download KeepSafe and start the app:
- Gives KeepSafe access to your smartphone's memory.
- Register with your name and email address and confirm your email address.
- Set your personal PIN and log in. You should remember the PIN well, as you will need it for later access to your encrypted images.
- The cloud backup is initially selected by default. However, you can deactivate it if you wish by clicking on the cloud symbol at the top right, opening the menu and switching off " Activate backup ".
- You can now add individual pictures, entire albums or photos directly from the camera using the " + " symbol below.
- To encrypt individual images, for example, you select " Import photos ".
- Using the file browser, you now select the photos that you want to encrypt.
- Now these are saved in KeepSafe and access only works via app and PIN.
- If you want to access the photos normally, select them in the app and click on " Export " (second icon from the left).
