🔍 How It Works

1. Select an Image - Upload or drag & drop any PNG/JPEG
2. Enter Message - Type your secret message
3. Optional Encryption - Add a password for extra security

The tool uses LSB (Least Significant Bit) steganography to hide your message in the image's pixel data. When encryption is enabled, messages are secured with AES-256 before embedding.
