Hidden message
This is steganography, not encryption — it hides that a message exists, but anyone who suspects it and runs the same tool can extract it. The passphrase lightly scrambles the text so a casual reveal shows gibberish; for real secrecy, encrypt your message first with Pencilbox's Encrypt tool, then hide the result. The output must stay a PNG — re-saving it as JPG destroys the hidden data. Everything runs on your device.
