AEStego — Secure Image Steganography AEStego allows you to securely embed data inside images using advanced steganographic techniques and AES-256 encryption. Keep sensitive information concealed within ordinary photos while maintaining image quality and full offline privacy. Unlike simple “hide text” apps, AEStego is built for serious privacy. It combines authenticated AES encryption, compression, and structured data integrity verification to ensure your embedded content remains secure and tamper-resistant. Advanced Encryption • AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption • Optional hardware-bound Secure Enclave mode • Hybrid key derivation for strong password protection • Integrity verification with SHA-256 validation Your data remains encrypted and authenticated before being embedded. Professional Steganography • Pseudorandom bit distribution • Lossless PNG and TIFF support • Automatic JPEG conversion to lossless format • Capacity validation before embedding • No visible image distortion The carrier image remains visually unchanged while securely holding your data. Smart Compression • Compression applied before embedding • Works with encrypted and unencrypted payloads • Reduces detectable patterns • Efficient storage inside images Embed Text or Files AEStego supports embedding: • Text messages • Documents • PDFs • Images • JSON • ZIP files • Any binary file Extracted payloads are restored byte-for-byte with integrity verification. Secure Extraction • Detect embedded payloads • Automatic structure validation • Password-protected extraction (if encrypted) • Save or share recovered data • Integrity and authentication verification If an image does not contain valid embedded data, AEStego safely reports it.
