Frequently Asked Questions

How do I import media into Piqo Player?

Videos: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, M4V

I forgot my PIN. How do I reset it?

For security reasons, there is no PIN recovery mechanism. If you forget your PIN, you will need to delete and reinstall the app. All imported media will be lost.

We recommend storing a backup of your PIN in a secure password manager.

Does Piqo Player require internet access?

No. Piqo Player works entirely offline. It never connects to the internet, doesn't send analytics, and doesn't require an account. All your data stays on your device.

What is a .piqo file?

A .piqo file is an encrypted media package. It contains photos or videos encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Only Piqo Player can decrypt and display the contents.

Can I use Face ID or Touch ID?

Yes. Once you set up a PIN, you can enable biometric unlock (Face ID or Touch ID) in Settings > Security. This provides a faster way to unlock the app while keeping your media protected.

How do I hide an album?

Long-press an album on the home screen and select "Hide". Hidden albums won't appear on the main screen. To access them, go to Settings > Hidden Albums and enter your PIN.

Is my data backed up?

Piqo Player stores media in the app's private sandbox. This data is included in your device's iCloud/iTunes backup if you have backups enabled. We do not provide our own cloud backup service.
