You can do two things with Secret Layer: you can hide data into images (that would be the first) and you can extract data from images (that would be the second). When I say data I mean that you can add a message, a file, or both. And to ensure that your secret message/file remains secret, Secret Layer can encrypt and password protect it.

The system requirements for running Secret Layer are: 2Ghz processor or better, 512MB of RAM (2GB recommended), 25MB of free disk space, Windows operating system (XP SP3, Vista SP2, 7, 8).
Installing Secret Layer is a standard procedure: download the installer, run it, follow the instructions presented by the setup wizard.

The application’s interface clearly presents Secret Layer’s functionality: hide data into images to the left, extract data from images to the right. You can perform these tasks by using their respective wizards or you can do them by using the expert mode. I have to say that both are quite easy to use.

Here is what you have to do to hide data into an image: select a container image, select the files you want to hide within the image, type a secret message that will be hidden within the image, choose if you want to use encryption and password protection.
Here is what you have to do to extract data from an image: select the image, choose if you want to use encryption and password protection.

Please note that there are two Secret Layer editions to choose from: Light and Pro. The aforementioned encryption feature is not available in the Light edition.

Thanks to Secret Layer, no one will know that the sent file contains a secret message and a hidden file.

Pros

The Secret Layer system requirements aren’t that high, not for a modern PC. You can use the wizard mode or the expert mode to hide and extract data from images. JPG, BMP, PNG, and GIF images are supported. There are two Secret Layer editions to choose from: Light and Pro.

Cons

The free Light edition does not support data encryption. It doesn’t allow you to hide data in multiple images either.
