that it may get leaked, then you can password protect the file before
sharing it with anyone. Then even if it gets leaked, unauthorized people
will be unable to see the image until they know the password.There is a free software named Lock Image to password protect Image files.
Lock Image is an open source tool that converts and image into exe file. The exe file contains the image file which can be seen by entering the correct password. This tool is portable which means that you don’t have to install it and you can carry it in your pen drive with you. Here’s the procedure to create password protected image files using Lock Image,
