This how-to video was made for educational purposes only. How to hide a file inside an image: 1. Right-click on the desktop and create a new folder titled "test." 2. Add the image file as well as the other file that you would like to hide inside the "Test" folder. 3. Rename the image something short and easy. In this tutorial, I named it "Image." 4. For this tutorial, I created a text document and placed fake banking information in the text file. 5. When you have your text file saved with the information you would like to have hidden, right-click on the image and hover over 7-Zip. Then select "Add to text.zip." This will create a zip folder. 6. Select the Start button in the bottom-left and search CMD. When you seen Command Prompt appear from the list of options, select it. 7. When Command Prompt opens, if you created a folder named "test," then type: cd desktop/test or cd desktop/[insert folder name here without brackets] and press Enter. 8. Next, type: dir and press Enter. This will pull up a directory of items that are in that folder. You should see your image file. 9. Next, type: copy /b image.png+text.zip image2.png or copy / b [name of image file without the brackets]+[name of text or other file without brackets] [new name of second image file without brackets] and press Enter. 10. Return to your test folder, and you should have a second image in the image folder called image 2. 11. If you open the image 2 file, it will open and appear just like image 1. If you open it in 7-Zip, should be able to see the .txt file. If you open that, you will see your text file. If you did this with a video or other image, they should appear here. #Steganography #Windows #HowTo Disclaimer: Some of the links in this description are Amazon affiliate links.
