Keepsafe is one of the oldest photo lockers and says it has over 70 million users. The free Basic version locks photos and videos behind a PIN or Touch ID, includes an in-app camera, custom albums and slideshow viewing, and syncs to Keepsafe on other devices. Safe Send lets you share a picture for a limited time. Premium adds Album Lock with separate PINs, a Private Cloud for up to 10,000 items, Space Saver compression with originals kept in the cloud, Trash Recovery and an ad-free view. The vendor describes its protection as military-grade encryption but the listing gives no technical detail, so it is harder to judge than Ente or LockMyPix. Basic is ad supported. On the US App Store, Premium is $9.99 a month or $23.99 a year. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test each app.
