How to Hide Files in a .JPG Image

Hiding files in a JPG image file can be both fun and useful to know.  In order to do this awesome little trick you will need a Windows computer, WinRAR, files to hide and a JPG to hide the files in.  First, gather all the files and the JPG you want to store them in a new folder.  Make sure you can access the path of the folder using DOS.  Secondly, use WinRAR to create an archive of all the files you want to put in the JPG and make sure the archive is an accessible path using DOS.  

Now it is time to open up the command prompt.  Click Start and then Run and then type “cmd”.  This should open up a command dialog box.  Using this command dialog box navigate to the folder you have just created.  Step 6, Type ‘copy /b “your JPG name” + “your RAR name” “a new JPG name”‘, substituting “your JPG name” and “your RAR name” with the actual file names and “a new JPG name” with a valid filename. “A new JPG name” will be the end result. 

Did you understand all that?  Well, just take a step back and dissect it piece by piece.  Do this a couple of times and no doubt that you will have it down like a pro.  For those doing this for the first time, test the new JPG by double-clicking it and making sure it opens normally, exactly like the JPG image you selected to hide the files in.   Open the JPG with WinRAR or the similar compression software. It will show a list of the files you have chosen to hide, if it worked correctly. Did it work?  Well, if it did congratulations. 

You have just found one of the sneakiest ways to transport your files just about anywhere using a JPG!
