Why Pixora

Built on a simple idea: they're your photos.

Most photo apps make money from your data. Pixora doesn't — there's nothing to sell, nothing to scan, nothing to hide.

100% Privacy Focused

Privacy isn't a feature — it's the product. Every design decision starts there.

No AI Training

Your photos are never used to train models — not ours, not anyone's.

No Tracking

No analytics pixels, no location logging, no behavioral profiles. Period.

No Ads

An ad-free library, because your attention was never ours to sell.

Free Forever

No subscriptions, no paywalled features, no "upgrade to keep your photos".

Unlimited Backup, Your Storage

Back up as much as you want — into your own storage account, not ours.

Features

A gallery that feels like yours.

Everything you'd want from a photo app — minus the data collection.

Beautiful Gallery

A calm, fast gallery organized by the day each photo was taken. Pinch to zoom the grid, drag to select, swipe through memories — the way a photo library should feel.

  • Day, month, and year timeline views
  • Search by name, type, or date range
  • Albums, favorites, and "on this day" memories

Unlimited Backup — to Your Own Storage

Pixora backs up each photo directly to your own Telegram account using Telegram's official API. Files travel from your device to your account — Pixora never sees, stores, or holds a copy of your backups.

  • Works with your existing Telegram account
  • No Pixora servers involved — your backups live with you
  • Auto-sync new photos and videos in the background

Photo Editing

A full editor in your pocket: crop with aspect-ratio guides, rotate, flip, and fine-tune brightness, contrast, and saturation. Pick from subtle filters or create collages and animations from a selection.

  • Non-destructive edits — the original stays intact
  • Batch rotate for multiple photos at once
  • Collage and slideshow maker built in

Smart Organization

Auto-grouped by capture date, with type filters, favorites, and searchable albums.

Auto Sync over Wi-Fi

Back up automatically when you're on Wi-Fi — no data worries, no manual steps.

Dark Mode

A gentle dark theme that follows your system, or pick your own.

Trash & Recovery

Deleted photos rest in Trash for 30 days — anything can be undone.

Security

Your photos stay out of our hands.

We designed Pixora so there's nothing for us — or anyone else — to collect.

Local First

Everything opens and works on your device — offline gallery, offline search, offline editing.

Your Own Backup

Backups live in your own Telegram account — not on Pixora servers. We hold no copy.

No Tracking

No analytics, no fingerprints, no behavioral profiles. The app phones home for nothing.

No AI Training

Your photos are never fed into training pipelines — by us or by any partner.

Easy Deletion

Delete anything, anywhere — device, gallery, or your backup — and it's gone.

Open & Transparent

No hidden telemetry, no fine-print data sharing. What you see is what we do.

A note on backups: when Pixora backs up to your Telegram account, the transfer goes directly from your device to your own account via Telegram's official API. Your backup is not encrypted by Pixora — it lives in your Telegram account under whatever protections Telegram provides. What we can guarantee is simple: Pixora never stores, sees, or holds a copy of your photos.

Testimonials

What early users say

"I moved 40,000 photos over a weekend. The part that stuck with me wasn't the gallery — it was realizing nothing about my habits had been recorded anywhere."
Marta K. · migrated her full library
"My kids' entire childhood is in Google's product loop. Pixora backs up to our family's own account, and that one fact changed how comfortable I feel about it."
Daniel R. · family photographer
"It's quietly fast. Search actually works offline, edits don't destroy originals, and I haven't seen a single ad — which took a while to believe."
Priya S. · long-time photo hoarder
