PhotoScrambler 1.4.0.0
Mobile users are exposed to several security risks as the access to their devices is often more facile than they would think. Those who keep a lot of personal pictures on their Windows Phone devices can now enjoy a special tool called PhotoScrambler that is able to render their files unreadable without the right code.
Professional looking GUI
The nicely designed interface of this application features a neat background and some carefully drawn graphics that are consistent from end to end. Also, the smart layout of the functions and controls makes the utility very easy to use.
Moving around the various sections of the app and going through its menus and lists of protected images has a smooth feel to it, lacking any delays or other flaws of the same sort.
Protect your pictures in a few easy steps
PhotoScrambler offers a neat way of ensuring the images cannot be viewed by unauthorized users, as it will cipher them by scrambling the content and only by providing the right code will anyone be able to view the original pic again.
When you want to protect a certain pic or a batch of photos you will have to pick them one by one and then create a scrambling code, or use one you made previously. The encoded images can overwrite the originals or you can opt to have them saved separately.
Processing options and reverse procedure at a glance
The application allows you to choose the output size of the pictures, so it can serve as a mean so resizing them as well, but you only have at your disposal 3 out of 6 sizes, as the larger ones are locked and purchase is needed to make them become available for selection. Also, another restrictions is that, only 3 images can be handled in one go.
The decoding operation is a lot simpler, as all you have to do is choose the scrambled pictures and the correct code that was used to encode them an in a few instants the original photos will appear.
Take secure snapshots and share them on the fly
With the help of PhotoScrambler you will be able to take fresh pictures that are protected automatically and a great thing is that the app can use both front and rear cameras for this.
As soon as a new snapshot is taken, you can save or share it and in case you choose the latter option you will need to pick the scrambling code and also the photo lifetime, so when you send the image link to a friend they have 5, 10 or 30 minutes to view it before the image is destroyed.
