Steaganography is a Python-based application that enables users to hide and extract secret messages within image files using steganography techniques. The project features a graphical user interface (GUI) built with PyQt5, making it accessible for users without extensive technical backgrounds.

• Image-Based Steganography: Embed and retrieve hidden messages within image files.
• User-Friendly GUI: Intuitive interface developed with PyQt5 for seamless user interaction.
• Support for Common Image Formats: Works with popular image formats like PNG and JPEG.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

• Python 3.6 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/xhpmoonx/Steaganography.git
   cd Steaganography

2. Install Required Dependencies:

   It's recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies.

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

   If a requirements.txt file is not provided, you can manually install the necessary packages:

   pip install PyQt5

3. Run the Application:

   python Qt_Final.py

   This will launch the GUI, allowing you to start embedding or extracting messages.

1. Embedding a Message:

   • Open the application.
   • Select the image file you wish to use as the carrier.
   • Enter the secret message you want to embed.
   • Choose the destination path to save the new image with the embedded message.
   • Click the "Embed" button to process.

2. Extracting a Message:

   • Open the application.
