Using Command Prompt to Hide Files

Steps to Hide a File

You can easily hide a file inside an image using the Windows command prompt. Follow these instructions:

copy /b source-image.jpg + your-archive.zip target-image-file.jpg

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • source-image.jpg: The original image file on your computer in which you want to conceal other files.
  • your-archive.zip: A ZIP archive containing the files you wish to hide.
  • target-image-file.jpg: The resulting file that contains both the original image and the hidden ZIP archive.

How to Access the Hidden File

To view the hidden files within the resulting image, you can open target-image-file.jpg using a file extraction tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip.

By following these steps, you can effectively conceal and manage your files with ease.
