The Image Steganography App is a Python-based desktop utility that enables secure message concealment within digital images using steganography principles. This project leverages the tkinter library for an intuitive graphical interface and the stegano package for data embedding and extraction.
Developed by Alok Sharma, this tool is ideal for learning about data hiding techniques and experimenting with basic steganography in a user-friendly environment.
- 🔐 Encode secret text messages into images.
- 🔎 Decode hidden messages from images.
- 🖼️ Preview original and encoded/decoded images.
- 🧠 Simple and responsive GUI built using
tkinter. - ⚙️ Lightweight and dependency-efficient (only Python and a few libraries).
Ensure you have the following installed:
- Python 3.x
- tkinter (typically bundled with Python)
- stegano library
Install dependencies using:
pip install steganogit clone https://github.com/Alok-2002/Image_Steganography_App_Using_Python.git
cd Image_Steganography_App_Using_Pythonpython ImageCloak.py- Launch the app.
- Click Open Image and choose your image file.
- Enter the message you wish to hide.
- Click Save to generate the stego-image.
- Click Open Image and select the encoded image.
- Click Show Data to reveal the hidden message.
