Hide your data in a image file


Now I am going to show you how you can hide text or some other files in a image file. You can use that image file as a normal one. When it is right time you can get the hidden files out :D

First of all you need WinRaR to do this. I believe everyone have WinRaR installed in your PC. If not, you have to download it first.

Follow these steps to hide your files inside a image file.


1.Select what files you want to hide. It can be one, two or many, and select another image file to hide the data. It can be a jpg, png or anything.


2. Now select all the files you want to hide. then right click on it and select "Add to archive". put a name what you like with .rar extension  and click "ok".I ceated as secretmessage.rar. :D


3. Then open a command prompt window. and change the directory to current directory which have your files. To do that easily, get the right click menu while pressing the "shift" key. that manu is somewhat different to the normal one. By clicking "open command window here" you get a command prompt with current directory.





4. In the command prompt window type following code and press Enter.

copy /b [image_file_name.jpg] + [rar_file_name.rar] [new_image_file_name.jpg]

Below you can see code for my example.



5.Now you can see a new image file there. It automatically created after typing the above code. My one is hidden.jpg. So that is the image file which contains all the other files inside it. You can use that image file as a normal one. Also you can messenger or mail it to another person.



Here are the steps to get the hidden data out from the image.


1.Open WinRar. 
2.File --> Open archive   (Ctrl+O)
3.select your image file (mine is hidden.jpg) and press Open. you have to change the file type "All archives" to "All files". Otherwise your image file will not be visible there.
4.Then you can see all the hidden data inside it. you can easily extract them to anywhere you like.
