What is Steganography?

Steganography is the practice of hiding secret information within ordinary, non-secret data. Unlike encryption which scrambles data making it obvious something is hidden, steganography conceals the very existence of the secret message [web:21][web:23][web:24].

This tool uses LSB (Least Significant Bit) steganography to hide your messages in image pixels. The message is embedded in the least significant bits of pixel color values, making the changes invisible to the human eye while preserving your secret data [web:31][web:34].

No passwords needed! Your message is hidden directly in the image. Anyone with the image and this tool can extract it, so keep your steganographic images secure [web:21][web:24].

How to Use This Tool

Hiding a Message:

Choose Cover Image

Select a PNG, JPG, or BMP image. Larger images can hide more data. PNG format is recommended for lossless quality [web:31][web:34].

Enter Secret Message

Type your secret message, password, URL, or any text you want to hide. The message will be embedded invisibly [web:23].

Hide and Download

Click "Hide Message in Image" and download the result. The image looks identical but contains your hidden data [web:21][web:24]!

Revealing a Hidden Message:

Upload Stego Image

Switch to "Reveal Hidden Message" tab and upload the image containing hidden data [web:21].

Extract Message

Click "Reveal Hidden Message" to decode and display the secret information embedded in the pixels [web:23][web:24].

Copy or Save

Copy the revealed message to your clipboard or save it for your use.

Pro Tip: Use PNG format for best results. Avoid re-compressing or editing the image as it may corrupt the hidden message [web:34].

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional encryption scrambles data and requires a password to decrypt. Steganography hides the message inside an innocent-looking image, making it invisible. The advantage is no password to remember, but anyone with the image and this tool can extract the message [web:21][web:23][web:24].

No! Everything happens 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your images and messages never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security [web:23].

LSB (Least Significant Bit) steganography modifies the least significant bits of pixel color values to encode data. These tiny changes are imperceptible to the human eye but can store hidden information [web:31][web:34].

PNG format is highly recommended because it's lossless and preserves pixel data perfectly. JPG uses compression which can corrupt hidden messages. BMP also works well but creates larger files [web:34].

The capacity depends on image size. A 1000x1000 pixel image can typically hide several thousand characters. Larger images = more hiding capacity. The tool will alert you if the message is too long [web:23].

Be cautious! Most social media platforms re-compress uploaded images, which will destroy the hidden message. It's best to share steganographic images via direct file transfer, email attachments, or cloud storage [web:34].

Steganography provides "security through obscurity" - it's secure because people don't know a message exists. However, anyone with the image and extraction tools can reveal the message. For maximum security, combine steganography with encryption [web:23][web:24].

Any editing (cropping, resizing, filters, compression) will likely corrupt or destroy the hidden message. Keep the image in its original form to preserve the embedded data [web:34].
