The premise of this tool is to encrypt and hide files behind other files, including graphics; however, we came across several issues that prevented it from working for us.

ViewPoint does have an appealing user interface, but the panel-style design wasn't as easy to navigate as it appeared. You'll find a tree menu on the left side of the window for selecting files. The center panel lists individual files within a folder, and the right panel previews the image. Some testers never got that far, getting error messages that the program's files were corrupt. Others got the program to install, but had problems when selecting a file or folder from the tree menu, which resulted in an error message. The files would still appear in the center panel, but when an image was selected, it failed to appear in the preview window and a message said the program was out of memory. The PDF Help file failed to open.

Though the program doesn't have any trial limitations, the problems we had with it make it hardly worth the download. There tons of free and functional encryption tools out there. Thankfully, its an executable file, so there's no need to uninstall it.

Developer's Description

To avoid any suspicion about your secret your file, it is hidden inside another file (your file is encrypted by the most modern and strong cryptographic algorithms) and the encoding program is also hidden inside another absolutely neutral (but useful) program. As a result your computer has neither secret files nor obvious programs for encrypting information or secrets. The hidden pictures are viewed with the same speed and comfort as usual ones.
