Cool idea to share secret files that can pass the antispam systems.

Is this black magic? Possibly. Is it awesome? Definitely.

Great job, this is a really neat tool that I can see myself using to quickly send certain files to others in a somewhat secret way (mostly just for fun though).

If anyone wants to unscramble this super secret message, you’ll have a surprise.

I love this new form of communicating lol

I've tried a few different file types (PDF, WAV, EPUB, OBJ) and sizes, but I always get the same result: entirely transparent images. The dimensions do seem to vary, though. This happens whether I run the tool in Chrome or Firefox (both in OSX), and regardless of where I try to view the image.

Wish I could get it to work, it's a fun idea!

Developer

The first row of pixels in your file should contain some pixels that are non-transparent. The issue seems to be that I have somehow mis-implemented the PNG spec. I'm working on figuring out what exactly my issue is by (painstakingly) creating a png file from hand in a hex editor and when I finish the result, I'm sure to update it.

This is an interesting idea, but I ran into a couple issues while trying it out:

  • the drag-and-drop file interface on web works on chrome, but not firefox; I'd recommend using a file input tag so you can click to open a system dialog in addition to natively supporting drag-and-drop
  • the generated pngs seem to be slightly corrupted; I was able to open them in a browser, but another image viewer gave the error "libpng: IDAT: Extra compressed data; libpng: Not enough image data"
Developer

The drag and drop not working in firefox is curious, as I used firefox to build PNGEverything. Would you mind telling me what version you use?

I also came across the libpng error and I'm not really sure on how to fix it. I followed the specifications for a PNG file down to a T, and pngcheck (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/apps/pngcheck.html) gives me an OK for the file.

I'm using firefox 88.0.1, which is the latest update afaik.
