An image (like a .jpg or .png ) is data. A batch file ( .bat ) is a list of commands for your computer to execute. You cannot "merge" them into a single file that remains an image but acts like a script.

In reality, a .bat file cannot magically transform a standard image into a tracking device. Instead, these files are almost always designed to infect the person running the script, rather than the intended target. What is "Image logger.bat"?

Real IP logging requires a web server . When a user requests an image, the server logs the IP address. A script sitting on your desktop cannot see who "looks" at an image hosted elsewhere.
