💻 How to Use

1. Installation

Clone the repository and install the required packages:

git clone https://github.com/Deeptig9138/image-steganography-tool.git
cd image-steganography-tool
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Encryption (GUI)

Run the stego.py file to launch the GUI:

python stego.py

• Select an Image 🖼️ -Enter your Secret Message ✨
• Set a Password 🔐
• Click 'Encrypt and Save' ✅

3. Decryption (Terminal)

Run the stego_decrypt.py file to decrypt the message:

python stego_decrypt.py

Enter the Password to view the hidden message.

🧠 How it Works

• Message Embedding: Pixels in the image are manipulated to store ASCII values of characters.
• Password Protection: Prevents unauthorized message retrieval.
• Message Extraction: Reads pixel data to reconstruct the hidden message.
