DocuLockDocuLock vs Keepsafe
Updated 15 November 2026 ยท by the DocuLock team
In short. Keepsafe is a popular photo vault with a PIN, AES-256 encryption and cloud backup, plus extras like a decoy PIN. DocuLock's Photos space is part of a document vault: photos are encrypted twice, once by the vault key and again by a key made from your Photos PIN, and a second person needs the owner's approval to open it.

Questions
What is the most private photo vault for iPhone?
One where the photos are encrypted with keys only your devices hold and a PIN that the provider never sees. DocuLock Photos works that way; check how any vault handles keys before trusting it with private pictures.
