The concept of information hiding is nothing new inside the history, as early as in ancient Greece there have been tries to hide a message in a depended medium to deliver it across the enemy territory. Within the modern-day world of digital conversation, there are numerous techniques used for hiding information in any medium. Certainly one of such method is steganography [9] wherein digital media specifically digital pictures are used as a medium for hiding data and the facts within the shape text, virtual photograph, video or audio record may be used as secret message. The phrase steganography derived from two Greek words: steganos way covered and graphos approach writing and often refers to secret writing or facts hiding [10]. The main goal of steganography is to increase conversation protection via placing secret message into the virtual picture.In this paper Proposed the Least Significant bit (LSB) method is the simple steganographic technique to conceal the secret data in an image and it is commonly used. This method maintains the quality of the image. Steganography using LSB hides out the bits of the message image into the LSB of the cover image. The advantage of LSB steganography is that it is very simple, easy to employ and the final image obtained will be almost similar to the cover image, meaning that the quality of cover image remains same.
