When sharing private or sensitive images online, protecting them is a must. Whether you’re a designer sharing client previews or someone sharing personal photos, password protection gives you full control over who sees your content.
At AR Host, we make it easy to secure your images with a password — even before you hit the upload button. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to do it and why it matters.
🔎 Why Use Password Protection?
Once an image is public, anyone with the link can access it. But with AR Host, you can stop unauthorized viewing by setting a password at upload.
✅ Protect sensitive images (ID cards, invoices, personal photos)
✅ Control who can access business documents
✅ Share preview files with clients securely
✅ Avoid accidental or unwanted sharing
💡 Perfect for freelancers, businesses, and anyone serious about privacy.

4️⃣ Look for the “Set Password” option
5️⃣ Enter a secure password
6️⃣ Click Upload

📤 How to Share a Password-Protected Image

🔐 Password: yourpassword
Send both the link and password to the intended recipient. Without the password, the image won’t load.
💡 This is great for sharing work previews, confidential data, or temporary files.
🚫 Can I Remove or Change the Password Later?
No — once an image is uploaded with a password, you cannot change or remove it. This is to ensure the security and integrity of the upload.
If you want to change the password:
❌ Delete the original image
✅ Re-upload it with a new password
This keeps your content safe and prevents unauthorized access.
🔐 What Makes a Good Password?
A strong password makes a big difference.
✅ Use 8+ characters
✅ Mix letters, numbers, and symbols
✅ Avoid obvious words like “123456” or “password”

📊 When Should You Use Password Protection?
You should consider password-protecting your images if:
🔹 You’re sending private files to a client
🔹 You’re hosting personal or family content
🔹 You need to prevent search engine indexing
🔹 You want full control over who sees your uploads
Even better — password-protected links won’t be discoverable unless you share them.
