/Image_Steganography_App_Using_Python

Welcome to the Image Steganography App, a project developed by Alok Sharma. This app allows you to hide confidential text messages within images using the concept of steganography. Steganography is the art of hiding information within another seemingly innocuous medium, such as an image.

📌 Overview

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.

🚀 Features

  • 🔐 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).

🧰 Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

  • Python 3.x
  • tkinter (typically bundled with Python)
  • stegano library

Install dependencies using:

pip install stegano
