some images are meant for everyone.
some are meant for one.
**photo encoder** lets you turn any photo into a chaotic, scrambled image that only the right key can restore. no accounts. no cloud. no tracking. just your device, your keys, and your control.
---
**how it works**
* every install creates a unique encryption key
* share your key with someone, or save theirs
* choose a photo and a key
* the app transforms the image into a scrambled png
* only the matching key can bring it back perfectly
decode by importing the image or using the built-in decode camera. decoded photos are view-only unless you choose to save or export them.
---
**private keys + open key**
* use **private keys** for one-to-one encrypted sharing
* use the **open key** to encode photos that anyone with the app can decode
* store trusted keys locally with names for quick access
---
**your vault**
keep encoded photos inside your private vault, protected on your device. nothing leaves unless you send it.
---
**designed for precision**
* fixed 10 × 21 grid structure
* heavy visual scrambling that looks chaotic but is perfectly reversible
* exact image restoration — same size, same color, same detail
* png output to preserve decoding accuracy
---
**decode your way**
* import encoded images from your library or files
* use the dedicated decode camera (never saves automatically)
* view decoded images safely inside the app
* save only when you choose
---
**simple, secure, local**
* fully offline — no internet required
* no accounts, no sign-ins
* no data collection or tracking
* optional pin lock for app access
* keys are tied to your install — delete the app and they’re gone unless saved

**photo encoder**
a quiet system for sharing what you want, with who you choose.
or with everyone, when you don’t.
