How to Hide A File inside an Image

How about a simple trick that hides a file in an image? Yes I will give you a simple tip which will hide a file inside an image. So much so that the image file will be a JPEG, look and act like a JPEG too. You can fool your friends or anyone with this trick.

Trick

1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file. Place them in the same folder.

Please note:

• I will be using C:/ New Folder for an e.g.
• Lets say the image file name is image.jpg
• The text file is named as text.txt

2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. Let’s say the RAR file is trick.rar

3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd

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

5. Type copy /b image.jpg + trick.rar image.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.

How to View/ Extract the File Again

• Change the file extension from image.jpg to image.rar, then open and your file is there
• Leave the file extension as it is
• Right click, open with WinRar and your file is there.

Cool?
