MaxVault vs Keepsafe
Short answer
Keepsafe is a photo-and-video vault with its own Private Cloud backup, album PINs and sync across devices. MaxVault keeps everything on your device and goes wider: any file type, a media player for MKV, AVI and FLAC, a photo and video editor, break-in photos, Panic Action and separate vaults. Pick Keepsafe for a cloud copy; pick MaxVault for one private place for all your files.

Where Keepsafe is stronger
- Cloud backup and sync. Private Cloud keeps a copy online and syncs to Keepsafe on your other devices, including Android.
- Timed sharing. Safe Send shares a photo for a limited time.
- Space Saver keeps originals in its cloud and smaller copies on your phone.
Where MaxVault is stronger
- Everything in one place. Documents, scans, audio, ZIP archives and bookmarks live next to your photos, in the same vault.
- It plays what iPhone can’t. MKV, AVI, WMV, FLAC and dozens more, with a Mini Player.
- Private editing. Blur faces, redact details, strip location data, trim videos and make collages without another app.
- Security that fights back. Break-in photos with location, Panic Action, and separate vaults for a decoy.
- Never uploaded. Your vault never goes to a Rambax server.
