Using AmiPic ShareMaster you can encrypt files and hide them inside one another. These are called "magic files". For example you can hide a single file or bunch of files in another file, such as a picture, mp3 audio or mpeg video clip. You do not need to create, keep and transmit any passwords. Each file has its own secret password and decoded "on-the-fly" (self-decrypted) while being downloaded from WWW or Usenet.
Images and other files containing hidden data are fully functional and are identical to the originals, besides the bigger size. Images absolutely don't lose on quality. You can still view the images, listen for music or play video clips in your favorite media player. Nobody knows, that the file containing hidden data.

Terminology: AmiPic creates "magic" files from files you want to hide (source files) and files-containers (or carriers). AmiPic creates "ddb" files from plain text information (web sites URL addresses) and files-containers (or carriers).
While downloading pictures and other files from web pages and Usenet newsgroups AmiPic recognizes and decodes both magic and ddb files delivering the original files (from magic files) or web sites URL addresses (from ddb files).

Distributed database files (DDB) are used to hide web sites URL addresses (and some additional information about hidden sites, such as type, size, site category and keywords) inside small binary (usually image) files. DDB files do not have any special extension, they are regular pictures or small sound files and can be found on web pages as logos, banners, background images, etc.

Hidden sites. Using ddb files it is possible to share files posted on web sites without letting anybody know these web sites URL addresses! When AmiPic meets DDB files it extracts information they contain (hidden sites URL addresses) and adds these hidden sites to its "private" project database for download.

Magic Files are used to hide (smuggle) pictures, video, mp3, zip archives, etc. (called source files) inside other binary files, such as mpeg video, jpeg pictures or mp3 audio. You can upload magic files on regular or hidden web pages, post to Usenet newsgroups or send via e-mail. When AmiPic downloads such files it decodes them on-the-fly, destroys files-containers and saves original files instead.
