This Midjourney guide focuses on three things: how to turn Stealth mode on/off, how to hide already-generated images from the public page, and how to share links more safely. Many people think deleting an image makes it “disappear,” but Midjourney’s public display and its asset management follow two different logics. Set things up step by step as below to avoid privacy pitfalls.
Enter your Midjourney account and the settings page
First, open midjourney.com in your browser and log in. Midjourney typically completes authorization login via a Discord account. After logging in, go to your profile or account page, where you can see your gallery, generation history, and subscription information. Before doing any privacy-related actions, it’s recommended to confirm you’re logged into the correct Discord account to avoid changing settings on the wrong one.
How to toggle Stealth mode: eligibility and steps
Midjourney’s “Stealth mode” is generally a benefit of higher-tier plans; if your plan doesn’t include it, you won’t see the toggle or it won’t take effect. On the web, you can usually check whether you have Stealth on a page like Account/Plan and enable it as prompted. On Discord, you can also switch modes with commands: enter /stealth to enable Stealth, and enter /public to switch back to public. Only images generated after you run the command will follow the current mode.
How to hide generated works: Unpublish and republish
If you previously generated images in public mode and want to remove them from the public gallery, open the image’s detail page on the Midjourney website and find Unpublish in the menu (unpublish/hide). After hiding, it typically won’t appear in public feeds like Explore, but that doesn’t mean it’s “invisible to the entire internet.” If you need to make it public again, go back to the same place and choose Publish.
Safer link sharing and downloading: reduce “semi-public” risk
When sharing a work on the Midjourney website, prioritize using the platform’s share button to copy the link, and clearly distinguish between “public display” and “sending to a specific person.” Even after Unpublish, you should still treat the link as “semi-public”: don’t casually drop it into groups where it can be forwarded. If you only need to deliver the file, you can download the image and send it privately to reduce the chance of the external link being redistributed.
FAQ: Why does it still appear on the public page after enabling Stealth mode?
The most common reason is that Stealth mode only applies to “new generations after the switch”; content generated earlier may still be public and needs to be unpublished one by one. Another reason is that you used the wrong server or account in Discord, so the command switch didn’t apply to the Midjourney account that actually generated the images. Follow the three steps in this Midjourney guide—“confirm account → switch mode → hide history”—and your results will usually match expectations.
