I have not played with Steganography myself a whole lot, so IDK if it works well with .exe files, but here are a bunch of tools that allow you to hide files inside of images: https://www.geekdashboard.com/best-steganography-tools/
Like I said, I don't play with steganography much, so your mileage may vary. I haven't actually used these tools. The way my professor told me it works, is by changing the least significant bit in each byte of the photo. The photo changes very slightly, but not enough for anyone to see. That being said, if the file is big enough, you might start to see differences in the photo, so be wary.

If you're looking for a tool that can hide an executable in an image, a person can then run the file, and then get infected, you'll have to look past standard steganography. You can only hide text and audio in images, not executable code. You would have to buy a program or exploit from somebody here, or on another more prominent forum.

I've successfully done it before and tested it on myself the problem lies with finding the programs that will permit you depending on the task

I'm not sure, but I recently came across about "Alternate Data Streams" you can read somethings about it and tell us if it's something what you're looking for.
