Hide documents, video, etc INSIDE jpg image files

 

 

  • Prepare two files, one is a jpg image, other is the thing you want to hide. Then put the two into C:.

(if you want to hide 2 or more files, just zip them. )

 

  • Click "Start", "Run...". Type in "cmd". Move to C: by typing "cd "

 

  • Be careful, this is the most important step. Type "copy /b myimage.jpg + filetohide.doc final_product.jpg".

 

( Where

myimage.jpg = the name of your jpg file name

filetohide.doc = the name of the file(s) you want to hide

[final_product.jpg = the name of the final product )

 

  • Normally, you open the jpg file, just the image will be shown. To view back the hidden file, just rename the file type to the file type of the hidden file.

( e.g. if you hide a pdf file, rename the type to .pdf )

 

You should zip the hidden object first before hiding as some of the file type only work when doing this.
