Description


Image Decoder

Introduction

The Image Decoder tool allows users to decode hidden or encoded information from images. It extracts embedded data such as text, messages, or other files concealed within an image using various encoding techniques.

Key Concepts:

- Image decoding involves extracting embedded data hidden through steganography or encoding methods. - It reveals secret messages, metadata, or watermarks stored inside images without altering the image itself.

Features:

- Upload images in supported formats (PNG, BMP). - Decode hidden text messages embedded using Least Significant Bit (LSB) or similar steganographic techniques. - Display extracted information clearly for user access. - Supports password-protected decoding if encryption was applied.

How It Works:

- Analyzes pixel data to read encoded bits from the image. - Converts binary data back to readable text or files. - Verifies data integrity and handles password verification if needed.

Supported Formats:

- Input Image: PNG, BMP - Output: Decoded text or extracted data displayed in the interface.

Security Note:

- Decoding requires that the image contains properly embedded data. - For encrypted data, the correct password must be provided. - This tool is for educational and private use only.

Use Cases:

- Recovering secret messages hidden in images. - Verifying watermarks or intellectual property marks. - Educational exploration of steganography techniques. - Privacy-preserving data retrieval.

Conclusion

The Image Decoder tool provides an easy and effective way to retrieve hidden information from images. It complements steganography tools to complete the secure communication cycle.
