How can I open my file if I forget my password?

We regret to inform you that if you forget the password, there is no way to open the file. Pixes does not store your password because it works with the 'Zero-Knowledge' principle. This is the highest level of security, but the responsibility is entirely yours.

Does this tool affect the quality of photos?

There is no quality loss in standard encryption mode. In steganography mode, small (1-2 bit) changes are made in pixels that cannot be noticed by the human eye.

Can anyone open the encrypted file?

No, opening the file requires both Pixes' decryption tool and the correct password you set.

Does the platform I send it through (e.g., Instagram) break the encryption?

Since social media platforms compress images, data hidden with steganography may be corrupted. For full security, it is recommended to send the file as a 'document' or 'compressed file'.

Is this method resistant to brute-force attacks?

Yes, the AES-256 algorithm is currently the most resistant encryption standard known against brute-force attacks.

What is Image Encryption and How Does Pixes Ensure Security?

Image encryption is the process of mathematically transforming each pixel value (RGB data) of an image using an encryption key (password). Pixes locks your images without them leaving your device using the most advanced browser-based cryptography libraries. We offer two basic technologies: first, AES-256 based encryption that turns the image into a completely inaccessible encrypted block; second, using 'Steganography' to hide the image deep within the pixels of another innocent-looking image. In both cases, it is mathematically impossible to access the original image without entering the correct password. Pixes works with the 'Zero-Knowledge' principle; your password never goes to our servers and is not saved in our database. Once your file is locked, the key remains only with you. This is one of the highest individual data security standards available in the world today.

Why Should You Use Pixes Encryption Tool?

Maximum Privacy: Browser-Based Architecture: The encryption key never leaves your computer.. All cryptographic operations take place on your device. No one, including Pixes, can access your file content or learn your password. 100% local, 100% secure.

Advanced Algorithms: We use real AES-256 and Bit-Level Steganography.. We provide protection that would take centuries even for supercomputers to break, at modern cybersecurity standards.

Completely Free and Registration-Free: We offer this level of security to everyone for free.. No need to create an account or provide personal information. We believe privacy is a right.

Step-by-Step: How to Lock and Share Photos with a Password?

You don't need to be a professional cybersecurity expert to share securely. The process with Pixes is extremely simple and fast:

Select the Image You Want to Protect: Upload the sensitive file, document, or photo you want to encrypt. Our tool supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP formats. The process is done entirely locally in your browser; your file is not uploaded to the internet in an 'open' way.
Set a Strong and Unique Password: Create a password to lock the image. This password is the key to your image. Do not forget your password, because according to our security protocol, no one, including us, can reverse this file without your password.
Choose Encryption Method: If you wish, export the image directly as an encrypted file, or hide it inside another image. Choose the most suitable mode for your privacy level and press the 'Encrypt' button.
Download and Store the Encrypted File: Your file will be locked in seconds. Download the protected version. This file will now appear as either a meaningless image or a completely different picture from the outside.
Share Securely: Send the encrypted file through any platform you want (WhatsApp, Email, Discord, etc.). Convey the password to the recipient via a different channel (e.g., in person or via a different messaging app).

Expert Advice for Secure Data Sharing

Never Keep the Password in the Same Place: If you store the encrypted file in a folder, do not put the password as a text file in the same folder. This is like locking the door and leaving the key on it.

Use a Password Manager: Determine a different key for each file you encrypt and store these keys in a reliable password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password.

Change the File Name: Provide an additional layer of privacy by changing the name of the file after encryption to something inconspicuous like 'vacation_photo_01.png' instead of 'secret_document.png'.

Where is Encrypted Image Export Used?

💼 Corporate Data Security: Ensure full security when sharing sensitive internal graphics, financial screenshots, or new product drafts with your colleagues.

📄 Sensitive Document Archiving: Take precautions against potential data leaks by encrypting photos of ID cards, passports, or title deeds before uploading them to cloud services.

🔐 Secret and Private Correspondence: Make sure the images you send over social media are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be seen even by the platform owners.

Journalism and Source Protection: Protect both yourself and your source by encrypting sensitive documents or evidentiary images before leaking them.
