image-encode

A steganographic image encoder and decoder written in Python3.6

Installation

Open a terminal and type:

git clone https://github.com/tusharsadhwani/image-encode.git
cd image-encode
pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run

1. Encoding

Copy an image file to the /image-encode directory (or use the provided dog.jpg image)

Then run:

python encode.py --image=dog.jpg --text=encode.txt

(replace dog.jpg with your image name and encode.txt with any ASCII text file) This will create an image named encoded-dog.png, which will have the message encoded in it.

1. Decoding

python decode.py --image=encoded-dog.png

this will create a textfile named dog.txt, whose contents should be identical to encode.txt
