Cool Way to Hide Files Behind Image Using CMD and WINRAR


Today, I will teach you a way to hide some of your file behind image. What I mean is, you will actually put your files behind an image. This is a very effective way to hide any file with use of WinRAR and CMD.
To start off, first you need WinRAR. You can use Google to download it. After you download it, install it to you system. After that we are ready to go.

Learn To Hide Files Behind The Images...
 
1. Select an image to be used as a "hideout" image. This is where you will hide your file.

2. Now, select your file to hide behind the image and make it in .RAR format (the add to archive option),with the help of the WinRAR.

3. Next, put the image and your file on your desktop. You may do this anywhere instead of desktop if you have some basic understanding of command line.

4. Now open CMD by going to Start > Accessories > Command Prompt or press Windows Key on you keyboard plus R (WinKey + R) and type CMD then enter and type following commands in it.
         cd desktop
5. CD stands for change directory by typing above command you change your directory to desktop. After that type command

copy /b imagename.jpg + filename.rar finalimage.jpg
Replace "imagename.jpg" with the name of the image you're going to use. Don't forget to add image format (Eg: .jpg,.png,.gif)

Replace "filename.rar" with name of your file you want to hide. It must be in .rar format.


Finally Replace "finalimage.jpg" with whatever name you want your final image with hidden files should be. This is the image where your file will be hidden.

This is how it goes...

Now for extracting your files inside the image...

When you  try to open this newly created image it will open as normal image, but you can observe that the image size was changed into the size of the file you hid. Now, to get your hidden file all you need to do is:


How To Access Hidden File ?
1. Open WinRAR
2. Now locate your image (the final image produced.)
3. Extract the file and done.


That's it. As simple as that you now hide you important file inside an image. This is very useful in hiding confidential files.
This is one of my favorite trick. :)
