How to Hide a File in an Image File

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Create a new folder anywhere in your system.

   Step 2: Select all files you want to hide and get them zipped using WinZip or WinRar.

   Let this file be called 'womb.rar'. ,,,, Just type "cd folder-path" for example: cd D:\New Folder in Command Prompt. ,, If everything went good, 'womb.rar' (contains all those files you want to hide) has been hidden in the 'ppp.jpg' (image file you selected). , Hence its properties will remain same.
   
   It'll work like any other JPEG image file.
   
   But your data 'womb.rar' is still hidden within it. , You (or anyone you send the file to) can see 'womb.rar' zipped file there.
   
   Just unzip it and here your all files are.
   
   Method 2:
   Change the extension from 'ppp.jpg' to 'ppp.rar'.
   
   Then, double-click to open it.
   
   You can see 'womb.rar' zipped file there.
   
   Just unzip it, and here are all your files.
