Very cool! About a year ago I had a similar idea, but to store arbitrary data in PNG chunks[1] and upload them to "unlimited" image hosts like IMGUR and Reddit.

- collinmanderson 7y agoI have a feeling PNG might work on Google Photos too, but I haven't tried it.
- binwiederhier 7y agoIf you wanna give it a shot, try the code I linked here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19916126 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19916126 Although if Picasa (predecessor to Google Photos) worked with BMP, it may be better to do that because it's much easier and more space efficient to encode arbitrary data in than PNG.
