Hide a file behind Image without Any Software

To hide data in an image you need winRAR. First you add file into a rar archive as Secret.rar.

Now copy secret.rar file to a new folder. 

Now copy any image u want and paste it in folder of rar file as anyname.jpg.  (You can use any other picture file type like .gif, .png etc)


Now open MS-DOS, go to the folder that contains secret.rar file and the image file and type 
"copy/b anyname.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg" (without quotes).

You'll now see an image called output.jpg in secret.rar's folder. 

Open it with WinRar. Only winrar can open the secret file in it. This can be opened by changing the extension to .rar.
