When a one-time image link helps

Use a view-once link when the recipient needs to inspect an image once and you do not want the same LOCK.PUB link to keep reopening it.

Send a diagram, reference photo, or visual instruction that the recipient only needs to inspect one time.

Place a link in the conversation instead of attaching the image itself to the message thread.

Share the image link through one channel and deliver its password another way when the image is sensitive.

LOCK.PUB places the image behind a separate password and blocks another view through the link after the first successful unlock.

Swipe horizontally to compare every column.

Feature	LOCK.PUB One-Time Image	Ordinary photo message
Views through the link after first success	Blocked	Image usually remains available
Separate password	Required	Usually none
Recipient LOCK.PUB account	Not required	Depends on the service
Image attached to conversation history	No—the conversation contains a link	Usually yes
Prevents screenshots or external copies	No	No

After the first successful password unlock displays the image, LOCK.PUB blocks later attempts to view it through that link.

This tool promises one-time access, not deletion. The link stops revealing the image after the first successful view.

Yes. No browser-based view-once tool can reliably prevent a recipient from capturing the screen or photographing it with another device.

You can upload JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP. Guest and Free accounts accept images up to 1 MB, while Pro accounts accept up to 10 MB.
