## Description

Tuck any secret — a message, file, or photo — inside an ordinary image. Encrypted, fully offline, hidden in plain sight. Now with a decoy vault.

Hilia hides your secrets in plain sight. A message, a file, or a photo vanishes inside an ordinary-looking picture — real steganography, not just a locked folder. 100% offline. No account needed. Your data never leaves your device.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Hide secret text, a document, or a photo inside any cover photo — invisible to anyone but you
• Reveal hidden secrets instantly from any stego image you receive
• Keep everything in a private, encrypted on-device vault
• Scatter hidden photos into your regular library instead of a separate album, so they blend in as just another photo

STEGANOGRAPHY — HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
Encryption protects your data but leaves obvious traces; steganography hides the very fact that a secret exists. Hilia weaves your data directly into a photo's pixels — choosing a best-quality method for full detail, or an extra-stealth method that keeps a camera photo exactly as it is. The result opens and looks like any normal photo, because it is one.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• Fully offline — hide and reveal with no account or sign-up
• Nothing is uploaded — we don't collect or see your data
• Revealed secrets auto-blank the moment you switch apps, banking-app style
• Optional passcode plus strong encryption layered on top of the hiding itself

DECOY VAULT — YOUR SAFETY NET
If someone ever forces you to unlock your phone, you shouldn't have to hand over your real secrets. Set up a second, decoy vault with its own passcode — it looks and behaves exactly like your real vault, but only shows what you choose to keep in it. Enter the decoy passcode and that's all anyone sees; your real vault stays hidden and untouched.
• Two vaults, two passcodes — the decoy is indistinguishable from the real one
• Built for real situations: border checks, a lost or seized phone, or anyone pressuring you to unlock

FREE FOR EVERYONE
• Hilia's full hide-and-reveal experience is free, with no account and no paywall
• Free use is supported by ads

WHO USES HILIA
• Anyone who wants to keep something truly private, on their own device
• People passing sensitive information discreetly
• Privacy-conscious users avoiding cloud photo scanning
• Or just for fun — send a friend a photo and see if they can spot the secret inside

GET STARTED
Hide your first secret in under a minute — no account, no cloud, no catch.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Share the original file — chat apps that recompress or resize images can destroy hidden data
• Vault data is removed if you delete the app
• Hilia is a privacy tool: please use it responsibly and lawfully
