Vault of Vör lets you conceal encrypted messages — text or audio — inside any image. Military-grade AES-GCM encryption, zero servers, runs entirely in your browser.

Cold Storage

Store seed phrases or passwords as image files. Anyone who finds them sees static noise.

Private Comms

Bypass keyword filters on monitored networks. The network only sees an image.

Dead Drops

Post the image publicly. Only your recipient knows it carries a message.

100% Client-Side. No data sent to any server.

How It Works

  • Encryption: Your message is encrypted with AES-GCM (256-bit), derived via PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations. Without the password, the data is mathematically irrecoverable.
  • Steganography: The encrypted bytes are hidden in the least-significant bits of each pixel's RGB channels. The image looks identical to the human eye.
  • Zero-knowledge: All processing happens in your browser. No data is transmitted anywhere.

The Golden Rules

  • Always save and share as PNG. Never convert to JPG, WEBP, or AVIF.
  • Never screenshot the encoded image — screenshots re-compress pixels and destroy the hidden data.
  • Do not edit the PNG in other software after encoding.

Sending Safely

  • On WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord — send as "File" or "Document", not as a Photo. Photos get compressed automatically.
  • Email attachments preserve PNG files correctly.
  • Security tip: Send the image and the password via different channels.

About Vör

  • In Norse mythology, Vör is the goddess of awareness — "so wise and searching that nothing can be concealed from her." The name means aware or careful.
  • This tool is named in her honour: a vault that hides information in plain sight, revealing it only to those with the awareness to look — and a key.
