How to send a view-once photo

4 min

Sending a photo that opens only once takes under two minutes and needs no app. You choose the image and the delivery channel, and the recipient gets a link that self-destructs after the first open.

How to send the photo

The full path, from file to delivered link:

  • Pick the photo from your device (JPG, PNG or WebP).
  • Choose the country and channel: WhatsApp, anonymous SMS (Brazil) or email.
  • Add a short message if you want.
  • Pay by card or Pix and send.

Care with the image

Crop the photo before sending, leaving out anything that identifies a place, a document or people outside the conversation.

Avoid sending the same photo through a regular channel afterwards: that recreates the copy single-open delivery just removed.

What the recipient sees

Tapping the link shows a warning that the photo opens only once. After they confirm, the image appears and the file is destroyed on the server. Reloading the page won't bring it back.

How to know it was seen

In your device's own history, under My sends, each photo shows delivery and view status with date and time.

Frequently asked questions

Does the photo get saved to their gallery?

Not automatically. It's delivered through the browser and destroyed after the open.

Can I send several photos?

Each send carries one photo. For more images, repeat the send.

What if they never open it?

After 24 hours the send expires and the photo is deleted.
