Your private world,
shared with one person.
iCloud shares too much. Google knows too much. PicVaultPro is a private vault built for two — encrypted before it leaves your device, visible only to you and your partner, with a fair exit built in from the start.

Shared storage
We need our own vault.
Jordan and Alex, after a close call with iCloud's Shared Library on a Tuesday.
Based on common experiences. Names represent real situations.
How it happens
It's never a horror story. It's always a Tuesday.
Jordan grabbed the iPad to show his mom vacation photos. Three taps in, iCloud's Shared Library surfaced a photo from their anniversary weekend. The kind you keep for yourselves. His mom didn't say anything.
This wasn't a horror story. It was a Tuesday. And it happens because iCloud and Google Photos were designed for convenience — not for couples who want a genuinely private shared space.
iCloud Family Sharing can surface photos in other family members' suggested albums
Google facial recognition links shared photos across family accounts automatically
A “private” Google Album link can be forwarded by anyone who receives it
Neither platform has a fair-exit protocol if things ever change
The difference
Who can actually see your photos?
iCloud & Google Photos
- Encrypted with their keys — they can read everything
- Photos used to train AI models (opt-out required)
- Can surface in family suggested albums
- No breakup protection — one party can delete all
PicVaultPro
- Your keys — PicVault staff cannot decrypt your photo or video contents
- Face recognition is optional
- No family access, no public links
- 30-day fair-exit with independent export
Three features that matter
Built for the way couples actually share.
Feature 01
Partner Vault
A dedicated encrypted space that belongs to both of you — and only both of you. No family account crossover. No public links. Each partner holds independent encryption keys via RSA-OAEP key exchange. If one account is compromised, the other is not.
- Combined 100 GB storage quota on Pro
- Both partners upload, organize, and browse
- Full audit trail of who accessed what
- Invite by email — no shared logins ever
- RSA-OAEP 2048-bit key exchange per partner

Feature 02
Fort Knox Mode
For your most private moments. Even with an unlocked phone, no one gets in without an SMS code. 30-minute sessions. Hidden from the vault list entirely. It doesn't exist until you open it.
- SMS verification on every single access
- Session expires after 30 minutes
- Invisible in default vault list
- Available on Pro and Premium
Feature 03
The Fair Exit
Not a breakup feature — a trust feature. Both partners get a 30-day export window. The vault becomes read-only. Both of you download everything independently. No one can delete on behalf of the other.

Encrypted on your device
The technical claims you can verify.
“Encrypted” is a marketing word on most platforms. Here is what it actually means on PicVaultPro.
AES-256-GCM
Encryption standard
Same as banks and governments
Argon2id
Key derivation
Password Hashing Competition winner
RSA-OAEP 2048
Partner key exchange
Independent keys per partner
On your device
Where encryption happens
Server receives only ciphertext
Per-file unique
Encryption keys
One breach does not expose others
Metadata, not contents
What PicVault staff can read
Photo and video contents are encrypted on your device. No admin key, no escrow, no backdoor.
Your 24-word BIP39 recovery key
When you create your vault, you receive a 24-word recovery phrase — the same standard used by hardware crypto wallets. Lose your password, use your phrase. PicVault cannot recover your account for you because we never hold your keys.
