Abstract: In today’s digital world, securing sensitive information is very important. Traditional encryption protects data but may attract attention. To overcome this, steganography hides the existence of data itself. This paper presents IMGCRYPT, a system that combines image steganography and encryption to securely hide confidential information inside ordinary images. The proposed system ensures that the hidden data remains invisible and protected even if detected. The approach uses encryption algorithms along with Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique to embed data into images. The system is efficient, secure, and user-friendly, making it suitable for secure communication.
