    How to Hide file in Image

    1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. I will be using C:\New Folder
    -The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as fluffy.jpg
    -The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt

    2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)

    3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd

    4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing
    cd location [ex: cd C:\New Folder]

    5. Type [copy /b fluffy.jpg + secret.rar fluffy.jpg] (remove the brackets)

    Congrats, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file.

    In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take

    a) Change the file extension from fluffy.jpg to fluffy.rar, then open and your file is there
    b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there

    There is another way to do the same. Create a folder or change the name of an existing one.While maintaining write down the ALT key with the keypad on the right of the keyboard type 0160. This only works with the keypad, not the numbers on the top of the keyboard. Thus the folder will have no name. On this folder Right click on the folder Properties> Customize tab> Change Icon button, select one of the icons transparent. The best thing is that inside the folder that contains the hidden folder there is nothing more but may have other files.
