Have you ever wondered is it possible to hide some secret files inside pictures? My answer is YES. You can hide important documents inside picture and transport them safely and to anyone that looks at it, it will be a plain picture file.
You just need any RAR compression tool to achieve this task. If you do not have RAR compression utility installed on your pc, you can download one from here and install it.
Now choose any picture file which you like to transport having secret files hidden in it.
I have chosen picture of beautiful Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif (KatrinaKaif.jpg) and secret file (secret.txt) to work with.
I have copied these two files inside folder C:\\picture. Let’s begin hiding secret.txt file inside this picture. Right click on the file secret.txt and select “add to secret.rar”. This will create a file secret.rar inside C:\\picture folder.
Next, click on “Start” Menu from Windows XP taskbar and click on “Run”. Run dialog box will pop up, type “cmd” and press OK, which will open the command prompt. Change directory to C:\\picture by typing command “cd C:\\picture”.
Now type following command
copy /b KatrinaKaif.jpg + secret.rar picture.jpg
to create picture.jpg.
The newly created picture.jpg will look same as KatrinaKaif.jpg but with secret files hidden in it.
You can send this picture.jpg to anyone without disclosing the secret file directly.
But how to get this hidden secret.txt file back? To get back the secret file you need to open picture.jpg in WinRAR tool to extract the secret.txt file.

Hi
Can you please tell me where exactly is the secret msg stored in the picture? I mean in the header files or what?
And can any size .bmp file store data of any size?
Are there any limitations?
Hi Arsh,
Glad you asked!,
with /b flag, we are copying in binary mode and + between image and secret file is that we are appending first file with second and placing the result in picture.jpg.
So basically two files are copied one after the other.
when image is opened in image viewer it just looking at image with some data appended.
If you change the order of image and secret zip file, things won’t work.
hi sir,
i tried the same thing with winzip. i m able to create the picture file but while extracting the data file again it is shown sum error. start of central directory not found. zip file corrupt.. Pls help me with this.
Hi vineet,
Winzip does not support rar format files. You need some rar extraction utility like 7-zip
