Move through the current collection
- Open a file from the grid or list. Drag horizontally to bring the next or previous page into view, or use the previous/next controls and position counter. Release a short drag to return to the current file. Navigation stops at the ends of the collection.
- The carousel follows the folder, category, search or favourites view you opened it from and includes every file type. A format that cannot be displayed stays in its place with an explanation; exporting a decrypted copy, where allowed, is a separate action.
- Use the preview’s favourite, edit, encrypted-share and more actions for the file currently on screen. Only the current page and at most one adjacent preview are prepared. Finishing a page change releases the previous temporary file; cancelling a drag discards the incoming preview. Closing or locking releases both.
Confirm each photo operation
Choose Edit photo to open the dedicated editor. On Android, the editor appears immediately and the image fades in when ready; editing controls remain disabled until loading completes. Select an operation in the bottom strip, adjust its controls and use Confirm to keep that operation. Back cancels the current operation. Confirmed operations can be undone while editing; Save changes writes the encrypted replacement.
Crop, rotate, flip, colour adjustments, drawing, text and brush blur work locally. Text is placed on the photo. Blur softens an area; use solid redaction for information that must be covered. Metadata removal is separate from hiding visible faces, text or landmarks.
Video edits and existing copies
The video editor supports trimming, framing, rotation, flipping and removing audio on supported inputs. Save only after checking the result. Earlier exports, backups, gallery originals and shared snapshots are independent copies and are not rewritten by an edit.
Unsupported formats remain available through an explicit decrypted export where allowed. A shared view-only vault may restrict export and does not provide the owner’s editing actions. Its expiry and capture protections continue to apply while browsing.
