Password photos?

Is there a app that can password photos even better any file,Ive looked at some apps but they dont seem to have good comments. :)
 
I'd use an encrypted ZIP archive or another well known compress file type. A ZIP file can edited by many other apps and also with many programms on computers.
So I'd not depend on one app which future development I can't be never sure about (after getting a new phone, unfortunately, the app doesn't exist on Play Store anymore :D )

For to work with an encrypted archives you'd use an app like ZArchiver.
For ZIP, a file managert like ES File Explorer might work.

An other option would be a password protected data base which can be synced with its PC part.

I see :)
Your gallery should have the option to hide folders (albums).
If not, install QuickPic as gallery, the app has this option.
Create a new folder on your phone's storage/SD card and set it as hidden with QuickPic.

Or add a "." in front of the folder's name, then your gallery won't see the folder.
Note, even your file manager won't see this folder. In ES File Explorer I've to check the option "Show hidden files" :)
 
Cheers cant seem to find where i can hide albums,So ill get QuickPic.

Unless there is any other apps where i can just select the photos to hide or hid certain folders.
 
As we are talking about hiding folders,Can you hide the stock folder that is called Images? The one that is preinstalled on the phone?

QuickPic should do it. Let it show you the albums and do a long press on the album that you want hide, then choose Hide on the menu.
 
I 2nd 'Hide It Pro', great little app. It can disguise itself as an audio manager so nobody knows you've even got hidden pictures
