Thread: How to: Hide files inside pictures.

Someone showed me how to do this on MSN today, and I love it.


This came in handy for me today, alot!

This is a fairly lengthy post, but it takes less than 5 minutes to do, and it's easy

Basically, you can hide files inside images, then open the images with winRAR or another extraction program to get the file.

Like a pretty storage file





Step 1.

You'll need all your files in ONE folder (the folder should be in the C drive, for convenience), like this:



You'll need the file (can be as many as you want), and the image you want to merge it with in the same folder.



Step 2.

Put the file(s) you want into an archive (rar or zip, etc.) , like this:



(Archive filename must not include spaces)

The archive should now be in the original folder. In this case, "Files"



Step 3.

Open Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd and press Enter)

Use the "cd .." command until you get to "C:\"

Then type "cd XXXX". In my case it's "cd Files".




What you then is write "copy /b xxx.jpg + xxx.xxx.rar xxx.jpg"

(first file is the original image, second is the archive with the file, and the third is the output image with the file in it.)

In this case, it's "copy /b rooky2.jpg + Codes.txt.rar hbb.jpg"



Then it should be in the folder:






Now, is to test it.


Just download this image and open in WinRAR or WinZip, or 7Zip, etc.










This was a handwritten guide, but I'm sure there are other guides out there on google. I wanted to make this myself though, make me feel better
