Common questions

How this tool behaves

Does Steganography Encoder and Decoder upload my image?

Steganography Encoder and Decoder reads the selected input into browser memory and performs its documented operation on this device. It does not submit the source file to ImgNimble while using this browser-first workspace.

What does Steganography Encoder and Decoder create?

A PNG carrying a hidden message or extracted text from a compatible PNG.

What limitation should I check before using Steganography Encoder and Decoder?

Steganography is not encryption. Recompression, resizing or social-media processing will usually destroy the message, and a determined analyst may detect it.
