ORIENTATION

START HERE.

01

Choose a Tool

Identify whether your requirement is hiding visual data or conducting an ephemeral real-time conversation.

02

Open the Tool

Launch StegaX or ShadowChat directly through the browser without mandatory account registration.

03

Follow the Workflow

Embed/extract your payload or exchange messages inside your temporary code-protected room.

04

Review Considerations

Understand retention limits, transport boundaries, and operational guidelines for responsible usage.
