Your secret screenshot link is ready
Send this link to your recipient. The screenshots stay encrypted until the link is opened with its browser-side key.
How it works
Three simple steps to share screenshots privately and securely.
Upload screenshot
Paste, drag, or browse to add one or more screenshots. Your images never leave the browser unencrypted.
Get encrypted link
AES-256 encryption runs entirely in your browser. The decryption key is embedded in the link fragment and never sent to the server.
Recipient views once, link dies
Once the recipient opens the link and decrypts the images in their browser, the encrypted data is permanently deleted from the server.
Why use encrypted screenshot sharing?
Common scenarios where one-time encrypted screenshot links make a real difference.
Share bug reports privately
Send error screenshots and stack traces to developers without exposing sensitive system details in a public channel or email thread.
Send design mockups securely
Share unreleased UI designs or brand assets with clients for a single confidential review, preventing unauthorised redistribution.
Share credentials in screenshots
Deliver temporary passwords or access codes captured in a screenshot so they cannot be indexed, forwarded, or stored by the recipient.
Confidential document screenshots
Pass on snippets from contracts, financial reports, or medical documents in a way that automatically self-destructs after viewing.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about encrypted screenshot sharing with SecretScreenshot.
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.
