- 🔹 **Decode Messages**: Extract hidden messages from an encoded image.
- 🔹 **Simple Web Interface**: User-friendly UI for easy interaction.
- 🔹 **Supports PNG, JPG, and JPEG formats**.
## 🖥️ Tech Stack
- **Frontend**: HTML, CSS
- **Backend**: Flask (Python)
- **Image Processing**: OpenCV
- **Storage**: Local File System
