FAQs

But where does my resulting images get stored?

On your system, there would be a new folder/directory now, named Imgrerite, all the images are saved there. By reverse revealing those images, you’ll see the text you hid ?

And what are the limitations to this tool?

You can only enter texts for now and that too without a new line, I know it sucks!
I’ll improve this in future, so that a whole text file can be hidden inside an image rather than manually typing the text

And well, let me tell you a secret, this does not really hides stuff, I mean anyone can use this tool to read those hidden texts, right?
I’m planning to next implement a mechanism that solves this

Okay, but why? WHY?

I was bored
