Cipher Pixel vs StegoSafe

Cipher Pixel: Hide Messages in Your Photos With Cipher Pixel, you can securely send hidden messages or keep them safely hidden within images in your gallery. Cipher Pixel makes it easy to hide secret messages in your photos. Using the ancient technique of steganography, this app conceals information within the pixels of your images. Unlike cryptography, which scrambles data into unreadable text, steganography hides data in plain sight, ensuring secrecy without drawing attention. Why Choose Cipher Pixel? Seamless Integration: Effortlessly hide messages in your photos without changing their appearance. User-Friendly Design: Encode and decode messages with ease using a simple interface. Advanced Security: Encrypt your secret messages using the AES algorithm before embedding them in your photos, ensuring that your hidden data is protected with an extra layer of security. How It Works: Encode: Input your message, and Cipher Pixel transforms it into bits. Encrypt: Secure your message with AES encryption before hiding it in the image. Embed: Select a photo, and let Cipher Pixel discreetly hide your encrypted message within its pixels. Share Securely: Share your photo confidently, knowing your hidden message is safe. Additional Note: Once you have created an image with a secret message hidden in the Cipher Pixel app, be careful not to resize or compress the image when sharing it. When sending an image using messaging applications, the image must be sent as a 'Document'. If you send it as an image, the saved message may be lost. This is because messaging applications change the image format.

StegoSafe hides an encrypted secret inside an ordinary photo. The photo still looks like a photo — the secret rides in bits the eye can't see — so what you protect doesn't announce itself. Everything happens on your device. No account, no sign-in, no servers. Your secret and your password never leave your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. HOW IT WORKS • Type a secret — a recovery phrase, a password, a private note. • Pick a cover photo and choose how to protect it. • StegoSafe encrypts the secret and weaves it into the image. • Save the PNG, share it, or keep it. To read it back, open it in StegoSafe with your credentials. THREE WAYS TO PROTECT • Password — open it on any device, any time, as long as you know the password. • This device only — a key kept on this device behind Face ID / Touch ID. Nothing to phish out of you; nothing to recover if the device is lost. • Face ID / Touch ID + PIN — two factors. Opening needs both the device and a PIN you set. SPLIT ACROSS PHOTOS Break a secret into several share-images and set how many are needed to rebuild it — for example, any 3 of 5. No single photo reveals anything on its own. BUILT FOR PRIVACY • AES-256-GCM encryption, keys derived with PBKDF2-SHA256 (600,000 iterations). • Keep it as a PNG — re-compressing it (as chat apps do) is what destroys the hidden data, so StegoSafe helps you keep the real file. • Nothing is read from an image until you unlock it. A damaged or re-compressed image is reported as damaged — you're never handed a secret that's subtly wrong. IMPORTANT Only you can open your content. If you lose your password — or, for device-bound images, the device — it cannot be recovered, by you or by us. Write your password down somewhere safe. StegoSafe is for lawful, personal use.
