Follow the given steps in order to Hide Files:

·        Copy an image file and the file you want to hide to your desired location. You can paste it where you want.

·        Now select the file which you want to hide behind image and make it in a .rar format by using WinRAR application.

·        Now open your command prompt, for that press win+r key from your keyboard. A run dialog box will appear on your screen now write cmd in the text field and press enter.

·        Now navigate through the directory (you can change directory by suing cd command) where you have saved two files then Enter the following command

copy /b imagename.jpg+filename.rar newname.jpg

Here –>Replace the imagename with the name of the image behind which you want to hide the file.

è Replace the filename with the name of the .rar format file which you want to hide behind the image.

è Replace the newname with your desired name (whatever name you want) your final image with hidden file behind it.

è Always, remember to put file extension at the end of files while entering their names in command prompt. i.e, .jpg, .rar. After entering above command the file will be hidden behind image.

·        For to un-hide the hidden files we have to open the image (behind which the file is hidden) in WinRAR. After opening it in WinRAR, we can extract the hidden file out of it.
