Hide your personal folder inside a jpg file

Thursday, December 17, 2009




We have to share a single PC with our office colleagues or family members.  Hiding our confidential file or folder is arisen as an important issue. It just likes a camouflage thing. You can hide your confidential file inside a single jpg file. Belief me, it’s not a fun. I am serious and going to tell about a simple but fantastic trick. First, paste a jpg file as well as your confidential folder on the desktop. Then, compress the confidential folder by using compression tool like Winrar, Winzip, Winace. Hope you successfully compress the confidential folder. The next step is use Command Prompt.  Let follow the following steps to put aside the Folder into the jpg file.
1. Run>> cmd (Press ENTER)
2. Write down cd "desktop" and press ENTER
3. Write down copy /b picturename.jpg + foldername.rar outputfilename.jpg and press ENTER
(Here, picturename represents the name of the jpg file, foldername represents the name of the compressed folder and outputfilename represents the desired name of the output file. Suppose, your jpg file name is 12.jpg, your folder name is 23.rar and your desired picture name would be 34.jpg, then you must write down copy /b 12.jpg + 23.rar 34.jpg)
If you compress the folder through Winzip then formula would be copy /b picturename.jpg + foldername.zip outputfilename.jpg
I expect you able to successfully follow the all steps and hide your confidential folder inside a new named jpg file. Now you double click the new output jpg file. What do you see? Just a picture, is it not? Your Folder is in the picture. No password is required but you can save your important folder from others.
I guess a new question is arisen in your mind is that how can I find out my important Folder. Don’t worry. It is very simple. Again let open Command Prompt
1. Write down cd "desktop" and press ENTER
2. And, Lets type ren outputfilename.jpg outputfilename.rar or zip and press ENTER
(Here, outputfilename.jpg represents the new copied jpg file name and outputfilename.rar represents the desired output file name)
3. Now extract the output file by using compression tool and get back your confidential Folder.
It does not always need to make your experiment on the desktop. You can choose your desired location or after hiding the file you can copy it and paste from desktop to the desired location even can send to your friend’s e-mail box.
