High-accuracy image steganography aims to conceal secret binary messages within a single cover image and recover them with minimal error. However, achieving this goal entails a fundamental trade-off: methods that excel in recovery often compromise visual quality and security. Existing one-shot deep learning approaches lack flexibility for fine-grained adjustment, whereas current iterative frameworks operate without perceptual guidance. Thus, both categories are limited in their ability to achieve accurate and imperceptible data embedding. To overcome these limitations, we propose a Frequency-Guided Iterative Network (FIS) that decouples embedding into two synergistic stages: iterative spatial refinement and explicit frequency-domain optimization. FIS comprises a flexible iterative encoder, a frequency perturbation module, and a decoder with a controlled obfuscation mechanism. The encoder iteratively refines the cover image to identify more suitable embedding locations, while the frequency perturbation module guides updates toward high-frequency regions where alterations are less perceptible. The decoder incorporates an obfuscation mechanism to enhance protection against unauthorized extraction. Experimental results across three datasets demonstrate that FIS achieves improved recovery accuracy, higher invisibility, and enhanced security.
