Stego-Lab Press Kit

Summary

Stego-Lab is an app that combines steganography, EXIF metadata editing, visible and invisible watermarking, decoding, and batch image workflows in one structured tool.

Short Description

Professional image privacy workflows in one structured tool.

Long Description

Stego-Lab is designed for users who need more control over images than a normal editing app offers. It supports hidden payload workflows, visible and invisible watermarks, metadata editing, decoding, and batch-based export paths in a single app.

The app is intended for creator workflows, controlled image distribution, technical image handling, and metadata-aware export scenarios.

Core Areas

• Encode: hide text, images, or files inside carrier images
• 🌟 Direct capture (v1.1): shoot a photo with the camera and hide it inside the carrier in one step — RAM-only pipeline, no photo library detour, on-device quality slider for live capacity tuning. macOS supports iPhone-as-camera via Continuity.
• Decode: recover hidden text, images, or files
• EXIF: inspect, edit, and re-save metadata
• Batch: process multiple images with visible, invisible, or combined watermarks
• Info: support, app summary, and upgrade path
• 🌟 AI Labelling (v1.1): one-click preset writes a visible label, machine-readable metadata, and optionally a robust invisible layer per EU AI Act Art. 50; Decode/EXIF detect existing labelling.

Key Selling Points

• 🌟 One-step capture-and-hide — the only steganography app on the Mac/iPhone App Store that captures a photo and embeds it into a carrier without ever writing the capture to disk
• multiple image privacy workflows in one app
• on-device image handling
• visible and invisible watermarking in one product
• EXIF, TIFF, and GPS editing
• batch workflows for repeated exports
• lossless export support for stego-safe use cases
• Art. 50-ready: label AI images with one click
• One click deletes all metadata – pixels and color profile stay intact
