About LeakTrap

The private, browser-based metadata embedding tool

What is LeakTrap?

LeakTrap is a web application that allows users to embed hidden markers and text data into PDF documents and image files (JPG, PNG), so they can later be retrieved and used to track who shared a file or to store additional private information.

How Does It Work?

Everything works fully in the browser, with no server or file storage. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Metadata is embedded in a highly discreet way:

  • In PDFs: using XMP, invisible text, and annotations
  • In images: via XMP, EXIF, and steganography techniques

Key Features

  • 100% browser-based processing
  • No file uploads or servers
  • Advanced PDF metadata embedding
  • Image steganography (PNG, JPG)
  • Works offline as a Progressive Web App
  • Free to use

Use Cases

  • Track document leaks by embedding unique identifiers
  • Add invisible notes to documents
  • Store private information within image files
  • Create digital watermarks that don't affect the visual appearance

Technical Information

LeakTrap uses a combination of techniques to embed metadata in files:

  • PDF: Metadata fields, invisible text with small font size, and document properties
  • PNG: Appending data after the main file structure or LSB steganography
  • JPG: EOF technique - adding data after the JPEG EOF marker
