# FileVeil > FileVeil is the fastest, most private way to hide any file inside another file, entirely in your browser. Photos, videos, documents, archives, apps, and more. AES-256-GCM encrypted. Zero uploads. 100% local. No account, no install, no subscription required to start. FileVeil is a browser-based file hiding and steganography application that lets anyone hide any file inside another ordinary file. Hide documents inside photos. Hide videos inside videos.
