Hide an image inside an MP3 file, or a video file inside another video file. The file you choose to hide inside of remains functional. If you have hidden an image file inside an MP3 file, the audio file can be played on a media player just like any other audio file. Nobody will know it hides another file inside it. The only difference is that the file size increases.

When you hide a file inside another one, Plain Sight will generate an unlock file, a key, that is required to extract the hidden file. There is also a password involved offering a two-layer security. Both the password and the unlock file is needed to recover the file hiding inside the other which makes it statistically impossible for anybody to crack open the hidden file.
