In response to the increasing need for secure online communication and growing data privacy concerns, this study introduces a technically robust Telegram bot for image steganography. Utilizing the F5 algorithm for JPEG images and the LSB algorithm for PNG images, the bot addresses challenges such as preserving image quality while concealing substantial data and lacking user-friendliness in existing systems. The primary goal of this research study is to establish a secure and user-friendly platform, ensuring accessibility and independence from specific systems. By incorporating encryption, the bot guarantees secure message transmission, making it resilient to interception or detection attempts. This proposed system offers a dependable and efficient approach, harmonizing image quality preservation with effective data concealment for secure communication. The Telegram bot's technical foundation, coupled with advanced steganography techniques, positions it as a versatile and accessible tool, meeting the evolving demands of secure communication in the digital era.
