Kakushi
iPhone app

Did something
slip into your photo?

Kakushi finds faces, phone numbers, addresses, license plates and more in a photo before you post it, and lists them for you. You decide what to hide. Your photos never leave your device.

Detect

Find what slipped into the frame.

Kakushi checks the photo as soon as you open it. Findings are grouped by type, and you choose Hide or Show for each one.

Faces

People in the photo. The main face in a selfie is left visible at first.

Phone numbers

Numbers on posters, signs and documents. Text is blacked out so it can’t be read.

Addresses & postal codes

Addresses on mail and nameplates.

License plates

Plates on cars and motorcycles.

Emails & long numbers

Email addresses, and long numbers such as membership or tracking IDs.

QR codes & barcodes

Codes on tickets and shipping labels.

Text in photos is recognized in Japanese and English. Phone numbers, addresses and license plates are detected in Japanese formats. Automatic detection can miss things, so check the whole photo before you export it.
