PC tips and tricks 3:35 AM
If you want to hide files on your hard drive, you may require some softwares which can do so , either by encrypting them or archiving so that they cannot be accessed without your permission.
Now here i am going to show you a very simple way, by which you can hide your files in jpeg images.
In order to do this , you will need to have WinRAR installed on your computer. You can download that from internet without having to pay anything. Here are the steps for creating your hidden stash:
And that’s it! The picture file will have encrypted with the compressed archive inside! You can actually check the file size of the picture and see that it has increased by the same amount as the size of the archive.
You can access your hidden file in two ways. Firstly, simply change the extension to .RAR and open the file using WinRAR. Secondly, you can just right-click on the JPG image and choose Open With and then scroll down to WinRAR. Either way, you’ll see your hidden files show up that you can then extract out.
That’s it! That is all it takes to hide files inside JPG picture files! It’s a great way simply because not many people know it’s possible and no one even thinks about a picture as having to the ability to “hide” files. Enjoy!

- Create a folder on your hard drive, i.e. C:\Test and put in all of the files that you want to hide into that folder. Also, place the image that you will be using to hide the files in. Let the name of the image fie be sample.jpg
- Now select all of the files that you want to hide, right-click on them, and choose the option to add them to a compressed ZIP or RAR file. Only select the files you want to hide, not the picture. Name it whatever you want, i,e. “Hidden.rar”.
- Now you should have a folder that looks something like this with files, a JPG image, and a compressed archive:
- Now here’s the fun part! Click on Start, and then click on Run. Type in “CMD” without the quotes and press Enter. You should now see the command prompt window open. Type in “CD \” to get to the root directory. Then type CD and the directory name that you created, i.e. “CD Test“.
- Now type in the following line: “copy /b SAMPLE.JPG + Hidden.rar SAMPLE.jpg” and press Enter. Do not use the quotes. You should get a response 1 file(s) copied.
And that’s it! The picture file will have encrypted with the compressed archive inside! You can actually check the file size of the picture and see that it has increased by the same amount as the size of the archive.
