From setup to sharing

How It Works

Send photos and designs that recipients unlock in their browser.

  1. How it works

    The selected image is normalized to a WebP image up to 1,920 pixels wide, then encrypted for storage and delivered through a password screen. After unlock, the browser displays the protected image.

  2. The recipient experience

    No account is required to receive an image. The visitor opens the address, enters the password, and views the protected image in the browser if the link has not expired.

Before you begin

Available controls and their limits

Conversion may change the original. Unlocked images can be saved or captured.

Creator controls

Add a safe public description, choose a password, and select the availability options offered in the creator. Supported image formats and upload sizes are shown before upload and can differ by plan.

Protection boundary

Password protection limits access to the stored image; it does not add digital-rights management. Anyone who can view the image can still take a screenshot, save it, or share a copy.

Common questions

Practical answers for creators and recipients before using this feature.

What should I know before using Encrypted Images?

JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP inputs are accepted within the size shown for the current plan. Conversion can change animation, transparency, dimensions, or quality, so keep the original file when exact preservation matters.
