Hide Files Inside Image

Ever wanted to hide your important files somewhere but don't know where. Well here is a way to hide unlimited files inside a single jpg file.

Things Required -

7-Zip (Download link at the end of this page)
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 (I tested only on this you can try others also)
Files you want to hide.
JPG File
Once all these are ready, you can go through the following steps to protect your files securely.
  • Install 7-Zip (If you already don't have it)
  • Select the files you want to protect -> right click and select 7-Zip -> Add to Archive.
  • Now copy the JPG and the 7zip archive file to some other folder (not really required) or delete/move your important files to other location.
  • Go to Start -> Run -> Type in "CMD"
  • On the Command Prompt navigate to the directory where your JPG and 7zip archive Files.
  • Run the command " COPY 'imagesname.extension' + '7zip archivename.extension' newfilename.JPG"
    (For Ex. "COPY Wallpaper.JPG + secret.7z secretimage.JPG)
  • Now whenever you want your files back right click the now image file navigate to 7zip -> Extract Files.
  • Your files will be extracted to the same folder.

For additional security you can add a password to the 7zip file while compressing.
