ImgCrypt is a Python-based graphical tool for encrypting and decrypting image files. It uses a simple XOR-based encryption method to transform the image data, making it unreadable without the correct key. The tool provides a user-friendly GUI for selecting images, entering a key, and performing the encryption or decryption.
- Image Encryption: Encrypts image files using an XOR cipher with a user-defined key.
- Image Decryption: Decrypts the encrypted image files back to their original state.
- Supports Multiple Formats: Works with a variety of image formats, including
.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.gif,.bmp,.tiff,.webp, and.heif. - GUI Interface: Easy-to-use graphical interface built with Python's Tkinter library.
- Python 3.x
- Tkinter (usually included with Python installations)
- PIL (Python Imaging Library, also known as
Pillow)

Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/kalmux1/ImgCrypt.git cd ImgCrypt -
Install the dependencies:
pip install Pillow
-
Run the application:
python imgcrypt.py
ImgCrypt utilizes a simple XOR cipher to encrypt and decrypt image files:
-
Encryption:
- Reads the image file and converts it to a byte array.
- Applies an XOR operation with the user-defined key to each byte in the image.
- Saves the encrypted data back to the image file.
- Displays an error if the image cannot be displayed (e.g., already encrypted).
-
Decryption:
- Reads the encrypted image file and converts it to a byte array.
- Applies the same XOR operation with the user-defined key to each byte in the image.
- Saves the decrypted data back to the image file.
- Reloads and displays the decrypted image.
