Image Steganography using LSB

This desktop application allows you to hide and extract an image within an image using Image Steganography. It provides a user-friendly interface for selecting cover images, secret images, setting AES keys, and performing the steganography operations.

Features

• Two tabs: "Hide Data" and "Extract Data"
• Upload cover image and secret image (Cover Image should be larger than secret image for better quality of secret image at the time of extraction)
• Set AES 256-bit password for encryption
• Perform image steganography using the Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm
• Save the steganographic result wherever you want
• Extract hidden data from stego images

Getting Started

Follow these steps to run the Image Steganography App on your local machine:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/image_steganography_using_lsb.git
   

2. Change into the project directory:

   cd image_steganography_using_lsb
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Run the application:

   python main.py
   
   

Usage

To Hide Data:

1. Open the application.
2. Navigate to the "Hide Data" tab.
3. Select a cover image and a secret image (larger cover image and smaller secret image in size and pixels also).
4. Set a 16-character AES key.
5. Click the "Hide Data" button.
6. Image will be saved at the location where your main.py is.

To Extract Data:

1. Navigate to the "Extract Data" tab.

2. Select the stego image.

3. Enter the same AES key used for hiding.

4. Click the "Extract Data" button.

    Note: "You can save Extracted image wherever you want on system."
