Freeze Your Data.
Keep the Access.
Professional-grade archiving built on AWS Glacier. While your originals rest in deep freeze, your visual library stays at your fingertips.
Built on the backbone of
Amazon AWS
Ice Vault operates as a fully managed SaaS platform deployed on Amazon Web Services. We eliminate the friction of AWS Console configuration, complex IAM policies, and manual bucket provisioning. Your client-encrypted assets are securely routed directly into automated, highly durable cold storage tiers.

Choose Your Storage Strategy
Whether you trust our ultra-secure cold vaults or prefer absolute control over your cloud infrastructure.
Zero setup configuration. Your files are automatically encrypted and distributed across our automated AWS S3 Glacier architecture. We handle the infrastructure, compression, and cold-storage handshakes.

- [✓] Military-grade client-side encryption keys
- [✓] Automated lifecycle management & archiving
Maximum decentralization and privacy. Connect your personal AWS S3 bucket directly into our interface. We only orchestrate the data routing — your files physically never touch our cloud infrastructure.

- [✓] You pay AWS directly for storage, zero markup costs
- [✓] Full ownership of Object Lock and data compliance
Your Data is None of Our Business.
Unlike "Big Tech" giants who scan your photos to train AI or target ads, Ice Vault is built on the principle of absolute privacy. We use industry-standard *Zero-Knowledge Encryption.
-
Client-Side Encryption
Files are packed into immutable ZIP containers and encrypted directly inside your browser's local sandbox before reaching the network. By enforcing strict AES-256 encryption via your personal password, the backend only ingests completely opaque binary data.

No Master Keys
We don't store your password. If you lose your key, even we can't access your data.
-
Zero Scanning
To us, your files are just encrypted blobs of data. We see nothing.
