Hide image from gallery

Question

I need to hide image(not folder) in both file browser and gallery without changing the file location. I tried prefixing the file name with . it hides the image in the file browser but still showing in gallery. Is there any way to hide image from gallery?

Answer 1

Create a .nomedia file in the same (or parent) directory of the image. This will hide all media in the current directory and subdirectories. (The media scanner will not scan this directory).

Answer 2

I need to hide image(not folder) in both file browser and gallery without changing the file location.

My thought over this problem is You can change the extension(make file without any extension) so media scanner will not able to detect it.

e.g file name us test.png rename it to only test
