The Image Steganography tool allows users to hide secret text messages inside an image without visibly altering the image. This technique ensures secure and discreet communication using digital media.
- Steganography is the practice of concealing information within another file, message, or image. - Unlike encryption, which protects data content, steganography hides the fact that communication is taking place.
- Upload an image (PNG or BMP supported). - Input a secret message to embed within the image. - Download the image with hidden data. - Extract the hidden message using the same tool. - Optionally add a password to secure access to hidden content.
- Uses Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography technique to embed text into pixel values of the image. - The human eye cannot detect changes in the image, making the message invisible. - During extraction, the tool reads the embedded bits to reconstruct the original message.
- Input Image: PNG, BMP - Output Image: PNG (to preserve quality and data integrity)
- This tool is for educational and private use. - For sensitive content, consider combining steganography with encryption. - Avoid social media compression which can destroy embedded data.
- Sharing confidential messages without detection. - Watermarking intellectual content. - Creating hidden puzzles or Easter eggs. - Privacy-preserving communication.
Image Steganography provides a creative and secure way to embed messages into media files. This tool makes steganographic communication accessible to everyone through a simple interface and fast processing.
