Secret Media uses a specialized technique of hiding information by embedding messages within seemingly harmless media files. It works by embedding invisible bits of data in otherwise normal graphics and audio files (such as JPG, MP3, WMA, GIF, BMP, or WAV). Using this technology, you can hide sensitive or private text messages in virtually any media file.

Unlike encryption, embedded Secret Media files are virtually undetectable. Files created with Secret Media look just like a regular graphics or audio file. But only you (and the people you tell) will know that there are secret messages embedded in the graphics or audio file.

Secret Media uses a Wizard-style interface to guide you from creating your own secret media file to viewing the hidden messages within a secret media file. An embedded password helps keep your private data even more secure.

If someone sent you a Secret Media embedded file, you can use the Secret Media Free Reader to view the hidden message in the file.
