The highest priority in the era of information and communication technology is to effectively and accurately hide information when considering steganography. The development of such a system for hiding sensitive messages should not leave any evidence of liability concerning the hidden message. The most critical challenges are the security and capacity issues in the steganography system. Hence, it is necessary to maintain the system's peak-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to make it tangible, imperceptible, and robust. This paper proposed an enhanced steganography system via Psingle/Pdoublemethod. The enhanced system aims to increase the capacity and security of the existing problems. Three main stages are used to achieve the system's objectives, namely: 1) data preparation stage passing by embedding stage, 2) evaluation stage, and 3) the extracting stage. The enhanced method is evaluated using the standard datasets, which include Lena, Peppers, Baboon, and Cameraman. The obtained results of PSNR (78.159) verified the worthiness of the proposed method.
