Yes, you can hide any file inside any image file by using your android device. Some of you may already know that this method is called as "Steganography". If not, take a look at the Introduction to Steganography, otherwise skip it.


INTRODUCTION TO STEGANOGRAPHY

Steganography is an art of hiding a file, message, audio, video, or image within another file, message, audio, video, or image. The word steganography comes from two greek words "steganos" (meaning: concealed) and "graphein" (meaning: writing).

The basic difference between cryptography and Steganography is that in cryptography only the message is hidden, but in Steganography, the message and the secret communication are hidden.


A lot of good steganographic tools are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, but not that much for the Android operating system.
