Photo vault apps provide a way to keep selected images separate from a regular gallery. Compared on cloud backup, decoy vaults, free vault limits, and intruder alerts, the entries also differ in private-camera options and supported mobile platforms. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help you compare access and cost. Keepsafe Photo Vault, Private Photo Vault, and GalleryVault lead the ranking, followed by Quantum Media Vault and PhotoGuard. Consider which safeguards matter to you, how you want to back up photos, and whether an app’s free vault capacity suits your needs.
32 photo vault apps ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
