Hiding a photo

What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

Make one of your own photos private — encrypted, and out of your library while the vault is locked. A Live Photo’s motion goes in with it.

A Live Photo's menu on its folder's page: Open containing folder, Copy image, Copy file, Export a copy…, and Make private… at the bottom

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”
  1. Unlock the vault, then right-click a photo on its folder’s page and choose Make private….
  2. Check the path, then click Make private.
  3. Or drop the photo into your private folder: Kaveo hides it, and the video of the same name beside it as its motion.

The confirmation asking to move the photo into the vault, its path, and that its Live motion goes with it

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • While the vault is unlocked, the photo stays in its folder at its date, and opens in the viewer as before — its motion too. A slideshow leaves it out.
  • Its picture is never kept anywhere unencrypted, not even its small preview: Kaveo makes it again after each unlock.
  • A private photo offers no copies. Take it back out to copy or export it — see Taking a title back out; it comes back with its motion and its dates.
