How to hide a file in an image?

Save the above image and open this. This will open as an image by default. But if you open with winrar you will get a hidden file.

How to do this?

  1. Select any image. (Find.jpg)
  2. Place all your files in a folder. (Here I am creating a folder VijayForVictory)
  3. Add this to archive (zip/rar). (VijayForVictory.zip)
  4. Place your image and the zip file under a folder.
  5. Open Windows console (Start > Run > cmd)
  6. Go to the folder where we placed the image and the zip file.
  7. Type the following

copy /b Find.jpg + VijayForVictory.zip VijayForVictory_Hidden.jpg

    Hi Janani,

    This works on Windows XP. I haven’t tried on Vista.

    Which OS are you using?

    Hi Mohan,

    Just rename the file extension to .zip to see the ZIP file and rename to .jpg to see the picture.

    Cheers,
    Vijay
