hide files behind photographs

How to hide the files behind JPEG image

Step 1. Create a folder anywhere in your PC e.g. C > Softslas and keep all the files you want to hide as well as the jpg image you will use to keep that files in.

Step 2. Just select all the files you want to hide, and by right clicking on them select the option of add them to a compressed ZIP or RAR file. Only compress the files you want to hide, not the jpg image. Lets name it as “Secret.rar”.

You’ll see that there is those files, the jpg image and a compressed archive named Secret.rar inside the folder Softslas.

Step 3. Now i will tell you how to make the trick.Click on Start menu, click Run and type “cmd” (without the inverted commas), press enter and you will see the command prompt window has been opened. Type cd to get into the root directory and again type cd followed by the folder’s name you want to hide i.e. “cd Softslas”. Now you are inside the directory C > Softslas>.

Step 4. Suppose the jpg image have name of “Image.jpg”. Type the following line

copy /b Image.jpg + Secret.rar Image.jpg

(Omit the quotes) and press enter.

Be sure that the compressed file has the extension of . ZIP or .RAR. As I have heard about some problems people faced while using WinZIP, I recommend you to use WinRAR instead of WinZIP.

That’s all you have to do. Now you have a jpg image with your secret files inside it. If you check the picture size you will see it has been increased by same size that was of the compressed archive. Now you can the delete the . RAR file and the file1 and file2.
How to access the hidden files

Just right click on the file and chose open with WinRar.Then you can see the file you hide behind the picture. Another way to access the hidden file is that just change the extension of the file to .RAR and open the file using WinRar and then extract them.
