You might know some ways to hide your files and folders, but today I will show you a method by which you can hide you personal and secret files inside your image files. How cool is that? Now you can hide all kind of files (.exe, .mp3, .pdf, txt, literally any) inside any of your image file.

Follow these steps to hide your file in image files.

1- Make compressed file of your files which you want to hide.

To do that elect all files, right click on them and click on Add to archive

 

(RAR file is preferable). You need WinZip or WinRar or any other compression tool to do that. Name the archive whatever you want, and click OK

and your rar file will be created.

 

2- Place that .rar and the image file in which you want to hide files in the same folder. I placed them in C:\Hidden

3- Now open cmd (to open cmd Press Windows key + R on your keyboard, type cmd and press Enter) and navigate to the folder where you have placed your .rar file and the image.

4- Now type copy /b {your image name with extension} + {your .rar file name with extension} {your image name with extension} and press Enter. See image below.

 

Thats it you rar file has been hidden in your image file. You will note that the file size of that image file has been changed.

 

5- Now there are two ways to access you files from that image file.

i - Right click on the image hover on open with and click on WinRAR. Sure enough, there resides your hidden files.

 

ii - Make sure you can change the extension of files by renaming them by opening the Folder Option from Control Panel and making sure that Hide Extensions for known file types is unchecked.

Now rename your files to {your file name}.rar, now double click the file to view your hidden files.

Enjoy.
