Hide&Reveal

Hide&Reveal is all about keeping your messages safe. Privacy isn’t just a new thing; people have always found clever ways to hide their thoughts. One cool trick is called steganography, which hides text inside a picture. That’s exactly what you can do with Hide&Reveal.

Getting Started with Hide&Reveal

Before diving into the fun of hiding your messages, make sure your computer has the Java Runtime Environment. If it’s missing, you can install it or use Hide&Reveal from a USB Flash drive on a compatible computer. This makes it super portable!

The Features of Hide&Reveal

This app comes with everything you need to hide and later read your secret messages. You won’t find an easier way to extract hidden messages unless you use the Reveal tool that comes with it. Both tools are in one place, so there’s no jumping around different windows.

User-Friendly Process

The setup for both tools is pretty similar. There’s a wizard that guides you through the process step by step. It asks for files and gives clear descriptions to help you along the way. Sure, it might take some time to get used to it because there are so many methods and combinations to explore.

Supported Image Files

You’ll need an image file alongside your hidden text. The types supported include BMP, PNG, and TIF, but watch out—JPG files aren’t allowed! You can hide any file type as your message, but using a simple text document is best since bigger files can make the output picture quite large.

Selecting Your Hiding Method

Before you hit that Execute button to wrap up your secret message, Hide&Reveal lets you choose how you'll hide it using various schemes like modulation and dissimulation. Each option has its own dropdown menu, giving you plenty of choices!

Revealing Your Message

If you want to reveal what you've hidden, just specify the image file again—but remember all those schemes you picked! If not, chances are high that you'll never see that message again!

Your Go-To Solution for Security

In short, Hide&Reveal is a solid choice if you're looking for a way to secure confidential messages. With tons of options available, it's practical once you've memorized the methods used. It ensures only those who should read your messages will actually understand them.
