Paranoid Photos

What Paranoid Photos is

Paranoid Photos is a private photo-storage and personal library service for Android, iOS, and the web. Photos are encrypted on the device before upload, and the company says its server cannot decrypt them. The master key remains on the device, so Paranoid says it cannot reset or recover a lost key. Users can upload from phones, computers, or camera cards, preserving original files in full resolution. Generated previews support browsing and organization, while access across devices and family sharing are supported. Shared albums and video backup are listed features, and the FAQ says data can be exported at any time. Paranoid says it cannot access, scan, or use photos for AI training. The Free plan includes 8 GB. Plus provides 100 GB for $2.08 /month ($24.99/year) annually or $2.49/month; Pro provides 1 TB for $8.33 /month ($99.99/year) annually or $9.99/month.

Who it suits

Paranoid Photos suits people seeking encrypted photo storage with original-quality files, cross-device access, family sharing, and export options. It is also suitable for users who want a free 8 GB tier or larger paid capacities.

Limits

The Free plan is limited to 8 GB of storage. If the master key is lost, the company says it cannot reset or recover it.

Verdict

Paranoid Photos emphasizes client-side encryption and user-controlled keys while retaining full-resolution originals. Its free and paid storage tiers support different library sizes, but key loss is irreversible according to the company.
