How to Embed Binary Data into an Executable: 4 Practical Methods (Visual C++)

How to Embed Binary Data into a Win32 Executable File in 4 Methods

This Gist covers 4 methods to embed arbitrary binary files (images, data, etc.) inside an executable.
From standard approaches (byte arrays) to low-level hacks like binary appending (copy /b), each method includes ready-to-use examples in Visual C++.

Use cases:

  • Single-file deployment (no external resources).
  • Hiding data inside .exe/.elf (no encryption).
  • Quick prototyping or educational purposes.
