Features:

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED STORAGE: Your photos and videos are encrypted on your device, and then automatically backed up to the cloud.

SHARE AND COLLABORATE: Let your family or friends add photos and videos to your albums. Everything, end-to-end encrypted.

RELIVE YOUR MEMORIES: Through the stories Ente curates for you, relive your memories from previous years. Easily spread the cheer by sharing them with your loved ones or friends.

SEARCH FOR ANYONE AND ANYTHING: Using on-device AI, Ente helps you find faces and key elements in a photo, so you can search through your entire library using natural language search.

INVITE YOUR FAMILY: Invite up to 5 family members to any paid plan at no extra cost. Only your storage space is shared, not your data. Each member will receive their own private space.

AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE: Ente Photos is available on every platform, so you can access your photos and videos from any device you have.

NEVER LOSE YOUR PHOTOS: Ente stores your encrypted backups in 3 secure locations-including an underground facility-so your photos stay safe, no matter what.

ORIGINAL QUALITY BACKUPS: All photos and videos are stored in their original quality, including the metadata, without any compression or loss in quality.

APP LOCK: Make sure no one else can see your photos and videos using the built in App Lock. You can set a pin, or use biometrics to lock the app only for yourself.

HIDDEN PHOTOS: Hide your most private photos and videos to the Hidden folder, which is password protected by default.

FREE DEVICE SPACE: Free up your device's space by clearing files that have already been backed, in a single click.

COLLECT PHOTOS: Went to a party and want to collect all the photos in one place? Just share a link with your friends and ask them to upload.
