Image_File_Encoder

Introduction

I had a Crazy idea... and this became of it... for literally no reason other than asking can it be done. It dosnt make the file smaller, in fact, it makes it a little bigger in size. However, it encodes the stick image using a binary table to match the colors in the provided file, I wanted to see if i could find a unique way to share "Public Domain Videos" as a non-parsable image (yes, I now have no idea why i made this either).

How my local LLM describes the tool

Image_File_Encoder is a quirky encoding and decoding tool that transforms binary data into colourful images and back again. With Image_File_Encoder, you can encode any file into a unique image, making your data not only secure but also visually appealing. This project is perfect for those who want to experiment with data encryption while adding a splash of creativity.

Features

• Encrypt any file into an image using a custom binary-to-color mapping.
• Decrypt an image to retrieve the original file data.
• Visualize your data in a colorful and artistic way.
• A fun and educational project for tinkering with binary encoding and decoding.

How to Use Image_File_Encoder

1. Clone the Repository: Begin by cloning the Image_File_Encoder repository to your local machine.
2. Encryption:
   • Prepare the file you want to encrypt and replace "your_input_file.txt" in the encryption script with its path.
   • Run the encryption script to generate an output image containing your encrypted data.
3. Decryption:
   • Replace "output_image.png" in the decryption script with the path to the image generated in the encryption step.
   • Run the decryption script to retrieve the original file.
4. Enjoy: You now have a colorful and secure way to store and retrieve your data!

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Python Imaging Library (PIL)

Disclaimer

Image_File_Encoder is a fun and experimental project. While it can be used for data encryption, it should not be considered a secure encryption method for sensitive data. It is intended for educational and creative purposes.
