How to hide files in a picture
In this video, I will show you how you can hide files, docs and videos inside a picture file.
You can not only hide files in pictures, but music files and videos as well.
You will need four things:
1) A picture to hide stuff in
2) Files to be hidden
3) A file compression software such as 7.zip or WinRar
4) Command Prompt
The first thing we'll do is create a new folder where you'll put your files to be hidden and your picture to hide them in. I'll call this folder "Topsecret".
Note, that for the picture, it cannot have any spaces in the name, so I'll call it "Picture" for now. Now I'll drag these files in the "Topsecret" folder.
Let's change the view to get a better idea.
Now, you can highlight the files you want hidden. Then, right click, go to "send to" and click on the compress zip folder. Now, a new compressed file will appear in your folder, right here. I'll just name it "xdoc".
Now that we've done this, we have to open up the command prompt. To do this you can either go to search and type command prompt or you can do the easy way which you can see in the video, is to simply press shift+right click inside the folder and go to "open command window here" and your command prompt will open.
(Now if you want to check if you're in the right folder, just type dir and it'll show you all the files in your folder. This will confirm you are in the right folder.
So now we'll enter a code in command prompt that will join those two files together.
After you finish typing the code a new png file will appear in your folder with the hidden files in it.
cd\
Press enter. Then type:
cd Topsecret
So here is the code:
copy /b Picture.png + xdoc.zip NEWPICTURE.png
After this you press space and
Now you can see that it copied the exact same picture with the new name and this picture will contain all the hidden files.
How you can know that the files are added is by hovering over the file and comparing the size of your first picture file and the new one.
If you did it right, then you should have a new picture saved in the "Topsecret" folder with whatever name you gave it. You can delete the original files you wanted hidden now.
There. Now you have a picture that has files hidden inside it.
To extract the files you put in the picture, open up your compression software such as WinRar and select the picture with the files inside it and extract them. A new folder will be created with the same name as the picture, and it will contain the files you hid.
The only way that someone can tell if there are files inside a picture is if:
1) You tell them
2) They notice that your picture happens to be 4MB.
