How to hide data in a image?

Subscribe to my facebook page How to hide a File in a Image?

Steps:

1. Gather the file you wish to link to, and the image file, and place them in a folder. For the sake of this demonstration, I will be using  C:\New Folder
Note:



  • The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as fluffy.jpg
  • The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt.Literally any file can be added. Whatever type be it.

2. Add the file/files you will be storing into the image into a WinRar type i.e. .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar or secret.zip)

3. Open command prompt by going to Start -> Run -> cmd (if on XP) or, Start->cmd->(rt. click and run as administrator)(if on Win 7 or 8)

4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing
cd location [eg: cd C:\New Folder]

5. Type "copy /b fluffy.jpg + secret.rar fluffy.jpg"


Congrats, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file.In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take:

a) Change the file extension from fluffy.jpg to fluffy.rar, then open and your file is there.

b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there.
