Introduction: Hide Any Files in Photos
Input Any FIle Into Jpeg Pictures Useing The Command Prompt In a Easy 5 Step Tutorial. it's great For Keeping ppl Away From You personal And private Information Or Files And the Best part is that You can Hide any Format Of Files (Even Pictures Within Pictures!)
Step 1: Setting the Area
First Thing You Do Is Go To Your C Drive Then To Documents And Settings. Once you're There, Click On Owner.
After You Do That Right click your mouse and make a new folder named Pics.
Step 2: Covnverting the File
Put Into The Folder The Picture You Want Holding The Files, And the Files Themselves.
Ok, Now Using a Program Such as Winzip Or 7zip (My Personal Choice) Availible For Free Here (http://www.7-zip.org/) you Right Click The Files And Add It To the Archive.
The Result Would Be a .7z File With The Original File's name.
You Can Now Delete The Original File Leaving The 7z

Click On Run
Type In "Cmd" And Click ok
The Command Prompt Should Open
Step 4: Making the File
The First Thing You Type In Is "Cd Pics" and Pres Enter
Then You Type In
(Copy /b "The Name Of The Picture With .jpeg" + "Name Of The Zip File With .7z" "new Name for the picture with .jpeg)
Then Click Enter
When Done Correctly It Should Say 1 File(s) Copied.
You Can Then Close the command prompt
*Warning* If it Does Not Work type the name of the zip files first, then the picture...
Step 5: Retriveing Files From the Picture
To Get your Files out Of the Picture
Right Click the pic and Click on extract here
Once The File Has Been Extracted It Shoud Work Perfectly
p.s. The Files can Be extracted as many times as you wish...

Help! I did everything you say to do, but when I type "image.jpeg" + "archive.7z" "image.jpeg" (i want to keep the original picture name) in the command prompt, it says something like "Impossible to find the specified file". I've got an italian version of Windos XP, so I don't exactly know what it says in english... I already tried to put the archive before the picture, but it keep saying the same thing... What am I doing wrong?

mine did the same thing, you should write "image.jpg" + "archive.7z" "image.jpg" that made mine work

i got it to work the first time perfectly. Now i get "No preview available" when i go to view the pic. The archive is there, but it was better and more hidden when the pic showed up too. what did i do wrong?

This looks really neat. Will it work for any filetype (i.e. a doc file) instead of just a zipped file? How would "extract" the files? Same way?
Reply 15 years ago on Introduction
Yea. When You Add a file to an archive you can group the files into one. i even tried videos and it worked _
