Without further ado, let’s start listing the new programs through the following lines.
1. OpenStego

It will only take a moment to obtain the image.
The new image can usually be viewed using any program, but the only way to access the hidden file inside is by decrypting it with OpenStack. To do so, select the Extract data option, add the image, then select the folder where you want to extract the hidden file, and after entering the password, press Extract data to decrypt.
