## Safelight (Queryable Gallery)

Safelight targets the gap between ordinary gallery apps and cloud-backed photo managers. Instead of uploading a library to a server so that a remote model can tag it, Safelight bundles the search model inside the APK. That is why the download is comparatively large, and it is also the reason the AI works on a plane, in a basement, or with the SIM removed. Indexing happens in the background on the handset itself, and you can restrict it to charging hours so it never competes with the rest of your day.

The vault side is built around envelope encryption: AES-256-GCM with a key derived from your PIN and stored only on the phone. Photos moved into the vault disappear from the system gallery and from every other app on the device. A 16-character recovery code is shown once and is the only way back in if the PIN is forgotten — there is deliberately no reset path, because a reset path is also a back door. Screenshots and the recents preview are blocked on vault screens, and the vault's own search index is encrypted with the vault key, so hidden photos stay findable without being exposed.

Beyond privacy, Safelight is a full gallery: date-grouped grid or list views, favorites, folders, a recycle bin, a full-screen viewer with a metadata panel, and support for JPEG, PNG, GIF, APNG, WebP, HEIC, SVG, RAW and common video containers. A sharing tool strips GPS coordinates, capture time, camera model, serial number and edit history without re-encoding JPEG, PNG or WebP files. The developer states there are no ads, trackers or analytics, and the app ships without an account system or cloud sync — which means losing both the phone and the recovery code loses the vault.

**Pricing & Plans:** Listed on Google Play as a free install. The Play listing does not publish any subscription or in-app purchase figures, so no pricing tiers are quoted here.

- **Encrypted photo vault:** AES-256-GCM envelope encryption with a PIN-derived key held only on the device. Vault items vanish from the system gallery and from other apps, unlockable by PIN or biometrics.
- **Fully offline AI search:** The semantic search model ships inside the app, so you can locate photos by describing them in natural language without an internet connection and without an account.
- **Scoped search index:** Indexing runs in the background on the phone and can be limited to charging time. The vault's index is encrypted with the vault key and read only while unlocked.
- **EXIF-stripping share:** Sharing through Safelight removes GPS coordinates, capture time, camera model, serial number and edit history, losslessly for JPEG, PNG and WebP, while leaving the original untouched.
- **Complete gallery toolkit:** Date-grouped grid and list views, favorites, folders, recycle bin, full-screen viewer with metadata panel, plus support for HEIC, RAW, SVG and common video formats.

**Strengths:** Zero network permission means photos and the search index cannot be uploaded, which is verifiable in Android's app info screen; Encrypted vault with no reset back door and screenshot/recent-apps blocking; Offline semantic search removes reliance on cloud tagging services; Lossless EXIF stripping for JPEG, PNG and WebP preserves image quality

**Limitations:** No cloud backup or sync at all, so losing both the phone and the recovery code loses the vault permanently; The bundled model makes the install size noticeably larger than a typical gallery app; Face blurring and text redaction were announced as still in development at the time of review

## Upscale.media

Upscale.media is an AI image enlargement and enhancement service from the PixelBin family of creative tools. Low-resolution files are common — old family photos, downloaded product images, screenshots and social media exports — and simply stretching them with traditional interpolation leaves them soft or blocky. Upscale.media instead runs the image through a model trained to reconstruct plausible detail, so textures, edges and facial features come back into focus as the image gets bigger.

The workflow is deliberately simple: drop an image or paste a URL, pick a scale factor, and download the improved result. Guest users can submit fairly large source files, while the maximum output resolution scales with the zoom level you select, going as far as 8x for smaller inputs. Video upscaling for short clips is also available, letting creators bump up footage without a full editing suite.

Around the core upscaler sits a broader restoration and retouching suite: sharpen, deblur, dehaze, motion-blur correction, face enhancement, colourisation of black-and-white images and photo repair for damaged prints. For teams, bulk processing and API/SDK access turn the same engine into a production pipeline component. Upscale.media runs alongside sibling PixelBin products covering background removal, watermark removal, compression and format conversion, so it usually fits into a larger visual-asset workflow rather than standing alone.

**Pricing & Plans:** Free for personal use with generous browser-based access and no account required to try it. Paid and enterprise plans add larger limits, bulk processing and API integration. Exact tier pricing is listed on the site's pricing page.

- **AI upscaling up to 8x:** Raise resolution by 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x while the model rebuilds sharp edges, clean textures and natural facial details.
- **Image and video input:** Feed in PNG, JPEG, JPG, WEBP or HEIC files by drag-and-drop or URL, or upscale short MP4, MOV and WEBM videos.
- **Restoration toolbox:** Companion tools sharpen, deblur, dehaze, remove motion blur, colourise black-and-white photos and repair aged or scratched images.
- **Bulk processing and API:** Business plans let you transform many images at once and plug the enhancement engine into existing pipelines via API and SDKs.
- **Mobile, Photoshop and Figma apps:** Works in the browser, in a mobile app, and inside Photoshop and Figma for editing without leaving your current workflow.

**Strengths:** Genuinely free for personal, casual image upscaling; Up to 8x enlargement with detail reconstruction rather than plain stretching; Also upscales short videos, not just stills; Extra restoration tools: deblur, dehaze, colourise and photo repair

**Limitations:** The deepest features, bulk processing and API access are aimed at paid or enterprise plans; Free tier has resolution and file-size limits that become relevant with very large images; Results depend on source quality — heavily damaged or extremely low-res files may still look soft; Moving between many separate sibling tools can feel fragmented
