Confileo's Ghost Text tool generates invisible characters and hidden text you can copy anywhere — free, in your browser, with your files deleted automatically the moment you are done.

Ghost Text — Frequently asked questions
Is Ghost Text free for journalists?
Yes. Sensitive documents are processed then deleted — no cloud copy to subpoena. There is no signup, no trial and no watermark on your files.
What kind of files can journalists use Ghost Text for?
Ghost Text works with the documents journalists handle every day — interview transcripts, leaked documents, press kits, public records, research dossiers and story drafts. A common case: Redacting a source's identity from a document before it is published or shared.
How do I send a blank message on WhatsApp?
Copy the Braille Blank character (U+2800) and paste it as the message. WhatsApp refuses a genuinely empty message but accepts this one, because it is a real printable character. U+200B will not work — WhatsApp strips it before sending.
How do I make my Instagram bio or username blank?
Use the Hangul Filler (U+3164). Instagram rejects the Braille Blank in profile fields but accepts Hangul Filler — the same character that works for Free Fire and PUBG nicknames.
How do I copy a long run of invisible text?
Pick the character, then tap 50 or 100 to copy that many at once. That is what you want for blank lines, empty bios and spaced-out nicknames.
What is invisible text used for?
Blank usernames, hidden spacing, watermarking and other formatting tricks.
Will it work everywhere?
Invisible characters paste into most apps and fields that accept text.
How do I create invisible characters or spaces?
Type or generate the hidden text, copy the invisible characters, and paste them wherever you want.
Can I make a blank username or status?
Yes. Paste an invisible character into a name or status field to appear blank in apps that block empty entries.
Do invisible characters work in every app?
They work in most apps and fields that accept text, but some platforms may strip or display them.
Is the hidden text safe to copy and paste?
Yes. It is generated locally in your browser and never sent anywhere.
