Ultima Steganography

Ultima Steganography is a small Windows application capable of hiding sensitive files within pictures. The image that conceals the encrypted file looks and opens just like any other photos stored in your computer, so it won’t rise any suspicious to other users.

Wizard-like approach

The utility employs a wizard as your personal assistant. This approach is ideal especially for rookies, as they are offered step-by-step tips and hints throughout the entire configuration process.

Hide files in images

Ultima Steganography offers you the freedom to conceal files within photos by choosing the item that you want to hide using the drag-and-drop support or built-in browse button.
Optionally, you are allowed to insert a file description (you shouldn’t type any confidential information). What’s more, the tool lets you pick the image that contains the secret file. The program works with the following file formats: PNG, GIF, JPG, BMP, TIFF, ICO, EMF, and WMF.
The final photo can be saved to a preferred location on your computer and exported to PNG, BMP or TIFF file format. You may also set up a password for preventing unauthorized access to your private information.
At the end of the process, you are allowed to open the resulting photo using your default image viewer, open the saving directory that contains the target file, or process another picture.

Extract hidden items from photos

In addition, you can extract the hidden file from an image using the program’s built-in wizard. You need to import the encrypted file and provide the correct password.
Tests have shown that Ultima Steganography carries out the encryption process very quickly and without errors. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so your computer’s stability is not affected.

Bottom line

All in all, Ultima Steganography provides several straightforward steps that you can follow for encrypting sensitive information, and can be handled by beginners and professionals alike.
