About Extract LSB

Extracts the Least Significant Bit data from each pixel in an image. This is a common way to hide data in Steganography.

Input: binary bytes (text input uses UTF-8; a file retains its original bytes). Output: binary bytes.

Format reference: Extract LSB background and specification

Before interpreting the result

File signatures and heuristics are clues, not definitive classification. Retain an original copy and compare exact bytes when investigating a file. A parser failure can also indicate truncated or unsupported data.

How to use this page

  1. Paste your input or open a local file.
  2. Adjust tool options if needed, then choose Run tool.
  3. Copy the result or download the original output bytes.

Inputs and results are not added to the public catalogue or saved in the URL. Processing happens in your browser; HTTP Request and DNS over HTTPS send the requests you explicitly run. Files up to 128 MiB can be opened; decompression and image tools may have smaller processing limits. Large results have a shortened preview. Text and HTML downloads use UTF-8; binary downloads preserve output bytes. Pasted text follows browser newline handling; open a file when exact input bytes matter.
