Decrypt & DownloadWhat is an LSA File?
An .lsa file is an AES-encrypted JPEG image created by Xiaomi MIUI Gallery when a photo is moved to the Secret Album. These files are stored in the Internal Storage → MIUI → Gallery → cloud → secretAlbum folder on your device. The .lsa extension marks the file as encrypted, preventing any standard image viewer from opening it. This encryption protects your private photos within MIUI's secure storage system on Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices running MIUI 12 or later, including HyperOS.

An .lsav file is an AES-encrypted MP4 video created by Xiaomi MIUI Gallery when a video is moved to the Secret Album. Just like .lsa files, .lsav files are stored in the MIUI/Gallery/cloud/secretAlbum directory on your device. Our viewer shows a preview thumbnail for LSAV files — full video playback requires complete decryption through our Decrypt & Download tool.
Read our in-depth guide →How This Viewer Works
Simply drop your encrypted .lsa or .lsav file into the upload area above. Your file is securely transmitted over an encrypted connection and decrypted in an isolated processing environment. Once decryption completes, a low-resolution preview appears below — tiled for your protection. The original encrypted file and decrypted output are automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours. No account, no registration, no personal data collection required.
Read our in-depth guide →Why Can't I Open .lsa Files Normally?
Standard image viewers and photo apps cannot open .lsa files because they are encrypted with AES. Without proper decryption, the file appears as garbled binary data to any regular application. This is by design — the encryption protects your private photos from unauthorized access. Our viewer handles the decryption automatically in a secure, isolated environment.
Read our in-depth guide →LSA vs LSAV — What's the Difference?
LSA and LSAV are both encrypted container formats used by Xiaomi MIUI Gallery's Secret Album, but they serve different media types. LSA files (.lsa) contain encrypted JPEG images — typically photos you moved to the Secret Album. LSAV files (.lsav) contain encrypted MP4 videos. Both use the same AES encryption and are stored in the same device folder. The main difference is the contained media type: LSA for photos, LSAV for videos. Our viewer supports preview for both formats.
Read our in-depth guide →Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to create an account to preview files?
No. The LSA File Viewer is completely free and requires no registration. Simply drop your file, wait a few seconds for decryption, and preview the result — no email, no password, no personal information needed.
Is my file safe to upload?
Yes. Your file is transmitted over an encrypted TLS connection and processed in an isolated, single-use environment. The encrypted source file and its decrypted output are automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours. We do not store, share, or inspect your file contents beyond what is necessary for decryption.
Why does the preview look low quality?
The preview is intentionally displayed at reduced quality with a tiled layout and watermark to protect your content. This is a viewing-only feature — if you need the full-resolution, original-quality image or video, use our Decrypt & Download tool which provides complete, watermark-free recovery.
Can I preview .lsav video files?
Our viewer shows a thumbnail preview of .lsav video files — a single frame from the decrypted video so you can verify the content. For full video playback and download in original MP4 quality, use our Decrypt & Download tool which supports video files up to 2048 MB.
How do I get the full quality image?
Click the "Decrypt & Download" button below the preview to access our full decryption tool. There you can decrypt your .lsa or .lsav file at original quality, download it as a standard JPEG or MP4, and process multiple files at once. Registration may be required for larger files and batch processing.
What Xiaomi devices create .lsa files?
.lsa and .lsav files are created by Xiaomi MIUI Gallery on all Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices running MIUI 12 or later, including the latest HyperOS. Whenever you move a photo or video to the Secret Album within the Gallery app, MIUI encrypts it and saves it with an .lsa (photos) or .lsav (videos) extension in the MIUI/Gallery/cloud/secretAlbum folder.
