Some files are safe when they are hidden.No I am not talking about the lame hiding methods.Right Click on file>Tick Hidden.Done.Nope!This is something highly confidential secretive method of hiding files or rather masking files under any .jpg image.It looks great.So if you want to learn just read it carefully.The things you need are:

  • Compression software to create a archive of the file to be masked.
  • Any Image with the extension .jpg

Lets consider file named “file.jpg” is the .jpg image file, “secret.txt” is the secret file to be hidden.Now,

  1. Create a archive of “secret.txt”, now it will be as secret.zip or any other compressed format.(for ease lets use .zip)
  2. Click Start>Run>cmd and click “Open” .This will open the command prompt.Reach till the location of the file with the most basic DOS commands.
  3. Type without quote “copy /b file.jpg + secret.zip hidden.jpg” hidden.jpg is the file which will contain the secret file.

Hide files with help of images

Now you are done.The file hidden.jpg is created.Once you double click on the file it will show as a image(file.jpg named hidden.jpg) but when you Open it with A Compression Software the real file gets exposed.

Kewl!!!

So the next time you want to hide any file just don’t change the properties to hidden.Do this and no one would know the encrypted file.

Enjoy.
