Hiding data inside inside an image is done by using steganography, this method can be used to hide data inside other files types too for example mp3 and video to name a few.

I can't recommend any particular software but a quick web search finds this free windows tool QuickStego. It shouldn't be hard for you to find more if this doesn't fit your needs.

Be aware of it's limitations though.
Steganography just hides the data and unless you also encrypt it it can be extracted by tools such as Stegdetect.

You can read more about steganography and ask questions about it over on security.stackexchange.com

Yes it is possible. But I don't really get why you would go through such trouble as there are really good encryption programs out there.

Try StegoMagic! This software can be used to hide text files inside image file, and you can also hide any file into any file. By the way in the field of encryption software, I like Truecrypt the most, it's free and powerful. I recommend you to try it. I hope this will help you!
