Hide your private files under an Image

People are very aware of their privacy and are always in search of choosing a perfect destionation for hiding their private files. Some softwares like Folder Locks, Wise Folder hider and so on allow you to hide your folder by encrypting it which the of course the most safest way. Everytime you need to decrypt it to access the folder which takes too much time depending upon the file size. However, In this tutorial I will be sharing one method to hide your files under an image where someone would never doubt and you can easily access them in less time( it can take long time if your file size is large). 

Process:

Step 1: At first install Winrar or any Zip extractor in your PC. It's a freeware. Here's a link for Windows OS: Winrar 32 bit and Winrar 64 bit
Other OS: Official Site

Step 2: Compress the files that you want to hide. Suppose the folder name is "technowing" and it contains all my files that I want to hide.

Step 3: Now, select a picture under which you want to hide your files ( the previously compressed folder Technowing). Suppose its tech.jpg

Step 4: Then copy these files in any drive (you will need to specify the path in further step). Suppose all your files are in G: drive.

Step 5: Now open Command Prompt. ( Start > Run > cmd OR Window Key + R > cmd)

Step 6: Switch to drive you have copied that file. Type "DriveName:" and hit enter. For Example: G: 

Type the following in command prompt.

copy<space>/b<space>imagename.jpg+compressedfoldername.rar <space>preferrednewimagefilename.jpg

In this case:

copy /b tech.img+technowing.rar new.jpg

This command will create a new file named new.jpg You can see in the screenshot below.

How to access the file?

It's pretty simple to access the file. If you double click on it, it will show you the image which keeps it away from suspicion. To access the files you need to follow the given steps:

First, Right click on New.jpg

Select Open With> Winrar archiever

And you're done.

Now you can delete the folder technowing and file tech.jpg.
