Communication is further developed even in the digital field which nowadays a very important means of communication. For a better way of communication and end to proper message delivery it is very important to have a proper security channel. Steganography is the secure mode of digital communication by hiding any data not to be visually exposed. It is possible in various file types that are images, audio, video, text etc. Image steganography is the most widely used type of steganography. It is basically of two major types that are spatial and transform domain, spatial domain the most common technique which includes LSB, MSB and both LSB-MSB steganography. The Lsb is the most common and easily performed technique. The research is carried out on LSB technique steganography tool the OpenPuff steganography tool. Main objective of the research is to analyze the performance of the OpenPuff tool using relevance to the various image formats that are JPEG, BMP and PNG. The steganographed image form OpenPuff tool are compared on various features for the best output collection in lieu of the best format. Pixels and the bit value changes were analyzed using the counter steganalysis tool. PSNR calculation tool is used to calculate the PSNR. The image steganographed were compared on the basis of robustness, visual distortion etc. for keeping it safe from the vulnerability of attacks and mishandling. The file size that is input and output size, hiding and extraction time etc. are compared for the quality for and changes of the image in all the three format's the formats BMP, PNG and JPEG.
