# jdvrif

Use this command-line tool to embed or extract any file type via a **JPG** image.
You can share your image on several *social media sites, which will preserve the inserted data.

\***Image size limits (cover image + data file) vary across platforms:**
* *Flickr (200MB), \*ImgPile (100MB), ImgBB (32MB), PostImage (24MB), \*Reddit (20MB / -r option)*,
* *Mastodon (16MB), \*Twitter (~10KB / Limit measured by data file size).*

**jdvrif** partly derives from the ***[technique](https://www.vice.com/en/article/bj4wxm/tiny-picture-twitter-complete-works-of-shakespeare-steganography)*** discovered by security researcher ***[David Buchanan](https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/).***

Demo Videos: [***Mastodon***](https://youtu.be/OKFTfWf-8oc) / [***Reddit***](https://youtu.be/lWVT8Oi5-cg) / [***Twitter***](https://youtu.be/h_PHmYe4M1E) / [***JDVRIF Web***](https://youtu.be/b0eNxBfpSgQ)

To **post/share** file-embedded JPG images on **Reddit**, you must use the **-r** option with *jdvrif*.
Always select the "***Images & Video***" tab on Reddit to post these images.

When **saving** images from **Reddit**, (new.reddit.com), click the image in the post to expand it, then save it.
You should see the filename with a *.jpeg* extension in the address bar of your browser.

With **Twitter**, the size limit is measured by the **data file size** and not the image size. As it is only 10KB,
it is recommended to compress (*ZIP/RAR*) your data file to maximise the amount of embeddable data.

To correctly download an image from **Twitter**, click the image in the post to fully expand it, before saving.

Compile and run the program under Windows or **Linux**.

*(You can try **jdvrif** from this [**site**](https://cleasbycode.co.uk/jdvrif/index/) if you don't want to download & compile the source code.)*

**Issues:**
* **Reddit -** *While you can upload JPG images via the mobile app, you need to use the Desktop/browser to download them (new.reddit.com).*
* **ImgPile -** *You must sign in to an account before sharing your data-embedded JPG image on ImgPile*.
*Sharing your image without logging in, your embedded data will not be preserved.*
