Hide Your Zip Files Inside An Image Using Command Line

You must be having your personal data which you want to protect. But if you think adding a password or encrypting it makes it hard to access than you can try hiding your data in a image file. It is very easy and you don't even need to install any extra software. All you need to do is make a zip file of your data and find a image inside which we;ll be hiding your secrets, and as you can use your files from the zip file without "extracting", the data is very easily accessible. So lets get started:

First of all copy the image file to the location of your zip file for making the command easier. Then open your Command Prompt by pressing the Win + R keys and then typing cmd. Once the command prompt opens up, change the directory by typing cd and then paste the folder location of the image and file. For exmple:


 cd E:\Dropbox\Public\ 

Then type the following command by replacing the ZipFile.zip and Picture.gif with your zip and image file names. The NewFile.gif is the image file that will be created which has a zip file hidden inside


 copy /B Picture.gif+ZipFile.zip NewFile.gif 


And you are done creating a secret location for your Personal files.
