## png_data -- Data to PNG
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`png_data` transforms a file as a png image.
|
|
|
|
### Encoding
|
|
`png_data -l rgb8 -e file.pdf -o output.png -c "(.pdf) documentation"`
|
|
Where:
|
|
* `rgb8` is the RGB layout with 8 bits per pixel
|
|
* `file.pdf` is the file to store in the resulting image
|
|
* `output.png` the resulting png image
|
|
|
|
**Available layouts**
|
|
* `rgb[8|16]` RGB with 8 or 16 bits per channel
|
|
* `rgba[8|16]` RGBA with 8 or 16 bits per channel (densest layout)
|
|
* `g[1|2|4|8|16]` Grayscale with 1-16 bits per channel
|
|
* `ga[1|2|4|8|16]` Grayscale Alpha with 1-16 bits per channel
|
|
|
|
### Decoding
|
|
`png_data -d output.png -o original.pdf`
|
|
Where:
|
|
* `output.png` the encoded png image
|
|
* `original.pdf` the resulting decoded file
|
|
|
|
### Getting header information
|
|
`png_data -z output.png`
|
|
* `output.png` a `png_data` encoded image
|
|
This will display the header of the encoded file, as well as the comment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## png_embed -- Embed files into mostly innocent PNG
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`png_embed` encodes a file into an existing png image making it possible to recover that file by passing the image around.
|
|
|
|
### Current algorithm:
|
|
* `lo` Embeds data in the colors channels lowest bits.
|
|
|
|
See [examples/test.sh](examples/test.sh) for usage.
|
|
|
|
### Encoding an image
|
|
`png_embed -l lo2 -e embed.tar original.png -o output.png -c "(.tar) archive"`
|
|
Where:
|
|
* `lo2` is the `Lo` algorithm using the 2 lowest bits
|
|
* `embed.tar` the file to embed into the final image
|
|
* `original.png` the original PNG file
|
|
* `output.png` the resulting PNG file
|
|
* `"(.tar) archive"` an optional comment
|
|
|
|
### Decoding an image
|
|
`png_embed -l lo2 -d image.png -o embed.tar`
|
|
Where:
|
|
* `lo2` is the `Lo` algorithm using the 2 lowest bits
|
|
* `image.png` the PNG containing an embed
|
|
* `embed.tar` the extracted embedded file
|
|
|
|
### Getting header information
|
|
`png_embed -l lo2 -z output.png`
|
|
* `lo2` is the `Lo` algorithm using the 2 lowest bits
|
|
* `output.png` a `png_embed` encoded image
|
|
This will display the header of the encoded file, as well as the comment.
