hide files inside a picture file

Maybe most of you already know this tricks, but for me i just know it a couple weeks ago. The first thing in my mind when i read that you can hide a file that contain information(txt, exe, mp3, avi, etc..) inside a picture was.. It’s Impossible ! Well.. nothing is impossible these days right ? Especially technologies, they grew up every day~ You can use it for fun, or maybe you want to share something to some of your friends without any people know.

First you will need an archive program, WinRar will do it. And here are the step:

  • Create a new folder on your hard drive, i.e. C:\hide and put in the files that you want to hide into that folder. Also, place the image that you will be using to hide the files in.
  • hide_file_01

  • Now select the files that you want to hide, right-click on them, and choose the option to add them to a compressed RAR file. Only select the files you want to hide, not the picture. Name it whatever you want, i,e. “hidden.rar”.
  • hide_file_02

  • Now you should have a folder that looks something like this with files, a JPG image, and a compressed archive:
  • hide_file_03

  • Click on Start, and then click on Run. Type in “CMD” without the quotes and press Enter. You should now see the command prompt window open. Type in “cd \” to get to the root directory. And now go to the folder that you created, type cd and the directory name that you created, i.e. “cd hide“.
  • Now type in the following line: “copy /b chi.jpg + hidden.rar tes.jpg” and press Enter. Do not use the quotes. You should get a response like below:
  • hide_file_04

That’s it! The picture file will have been updated with the compressed archive inside. You can actually check the file size of the picture and see that it has increased by the same amount as the size of the archive.

You can access your hidden file by changing the extension to .RAR and open the file using WinRAR. You’ll see your hidden files show up that you can then extract out.
hide_file_05

Easy right ?
