  • How to hide files in a JPG Picture

    Posted on July 25th, 2008 admin 2 comments

    Summary :

    Well, did you know you could hide your files in a JPEG file?

    For this, you will only need to download WinRAR. You just need to have a little knowledge about Command

    Prompt and have WinRAR installed.

    Later I will Post a way to hide files without any software, by just using a txt file

    Ok, lets begin…

    1. Gather all the files that you wish to hide in a folder anywhere in your PC (make it in C:\hidden – RECOMMENDED).

    2. Now, add those files in a RAR archive (e.g. secret.rar). This file should also be in the same directory (C:\hidden).

    3. Now, look for a simple JPEG picture file (e.g. logo.jpg). Copy/Paste that file also in C:\hidden.

    4. Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden.

    5. Now type in cd C:\hidden (or whatever file you named)

    6. Now type: “COPY /b logo.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg” (without quotes) – Now, logo.jpg is the picture you want to show, secret.rar is the file to be hidden, and output.jpg is the file which contains both. :D

    7. Now, after you have done this, you will see a file output.jpg in C:\hidden. Open it (double-click) and it will show the picture you wanted to show. Now try opening the same file with WinRAR, it will show the hidden archive .
