About

A secure steganography tool that hides encrypted payloads within the Least Significant Bits (LSB) of image pixels, making the altered image visually identical to the original.

Key Features

  • AES-256 Encryption — payloads are fully encrypted before being embedded into the image.
  • Password protection — secure your hidden data reliably.
  • High-capacity payload handling — efficient bit allocation to store larger messages without degradation.
  • Zero visual distortion — changes to the LSB are entirely imperceptible to the human eye.
