Share a screenshot that self-destructs after viewing

Paste, drop, or upload one or more screenshots, encrypt them in your browser with AES-256, and share a one-time link that self-destructs after viewing. SecretScreen is a free web-based service for secure image sharing - your visual data is encrypted before anything reaches the server and disappears the moment the recipient opens the link.

How can I share screenshots securely?

Three simple steps to share encrypted screenshots that self-destruct after viewing.

01 / PASTE

Paste or drop your screenshot.

The image is encrypted in your browser with AES-256 before anything touches the network.

02 / SHARE

Send the link.

The URL carries the decryption key after the #, which browsers never send to a server.

03 / GONE

It disappears on view.

Server deletes the ciphertext the moment the link is opened. No backups, no logs.

why secretscreen

Why use SecretScreen for sensitive screenshots?

Your image is encrypted in the browser and disappears after it is viewed.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

AES-256 encryption runs entirely in your browser before anything leaves it. The decryption key is embedded in the URL fragment, which browsers never transmit in HTTP requests.

View Once, Then Gone

When the recipient opens the link, the ciphertext is fetched, decrypted locally, and immediately deleted from the server. No backup, no log, no cached copy.

Completely Anonymous

No account, no email, no personal information. Only encrypted ciphertext, a random ID, and an expiry are stored, none tied to any identity.

what people use it for

Why use encrypted screenshot sharing?

Any visual you would not want to leave in a chat history, support ticket, or email thread.

Share bug reports privately

Send screen captures of error messages, internal dashboards, or stack traces without exposing them in support inboxes.

Send design mockups securely

Unreleased product screens, brand assets, or NDA-bound designs - share once, and the link disappears.

Share credentials in screenshots

QR codes, recovery codes, one-time passwords - anything captured visually that should not live in chat scrollback.

Confidential document screenshots

ID cards, signed contracts, financial statements - send a one-time view without leaving a permanent copy anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about encrypted screenshot sharing and self-destructing image links.

Yes. Every image is encrypted with AES-256 in your browser before any data leaves your device. The decryption key is stored only in the link fragment, which is never sent to the server. The server holds only ciphertext and cannot view your screenshots under any circumstances.
After the recipient opens the link and the screenshots are decrypted in their browser, the encrypted image data is permanently deleted from the server. The link stops working immediately and there is no way to recover the files.
Yes. You can add multiple images to a single share by dragging them into the drop zone, pasting with Ctrl+V after each capture, or selecting multiple files from the browser dialog. All images are encrypted together and delivered as a single one-time link.
Any image format the browser accepts is supported, including PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF. Screenshots copied from the operating system clipboard are usually delivered as PNG. When pasting clipboard content the available format depends on what the operating system exposes to the browser.
You can add multiple screenshots to a single share. All images are encrypted together and delivered as one link. The recipient opens the link once and sees all images. The limits depend on the current service configuration and are shown in the upload interface before you create the link.
Yes. In the Options panel before creating the link you can set a password. The recipient must enter the correct password before the screenshots are decrypted and displayed. This adds a second layer of protection on top of the AES-256 encryption, useful when the link itself may be intercepted.
If the link is never opened, the encrypted image data is automatically deleted when the expiration timer runs out. You can set this timer in Options before creating the link. The default is 3 days. Available options range from 1 hour to 30 days. After expiry the link stops working and the data is gone.
Yes. SecretScreenshot runs entirely in the browser and works on mobile devices. You can browse and select images from your phone's gallery or camera roll. Clipboard paste from a mobile screenshot depends on the mobile browser's clipboard access permissions. The encryption and decryption process is the same as on desktop.
Yes, SecretScreenshot is completely free. No account, subscription, or payment is required. All features including AES-256 encryption, multiple images per share, password protection, and expiration timers are available at no cost.
