Free file encryption tool

Kryptor is a utility software that works as a file encryption tool. Free and open-source, this app can encrypt and decrypt your files or an entire folder on demand. Moreover, it offers a number of additional features, including random key file generation, overwriting files, and sharing public key files.

However, while installing the Kryptor app, you may need a separate file management tool, such as WinRar. Additionally, you may also need an additional file converter to convert your image files before encryption. Furthermore, it uses a command-line interface, which takes some time to adjust to and learn to navigate. 

How do you use Kryptor?

Kryptor is one of the modern, open-source apps to join the ever-growing list of simple and efficient encryption software in the market. As mentioned, this tool can encrypt or decrypt your files on demand using the latest algorithms and technology, including ChaCha20-Poly1305  and AES-CBS with 256-bit keys. Moreover, it can encrypt files or an entire folder. With this, you can ensure that your confidential files are safe.

As mentioned, the app utilizes a command-line interface, so familiarizing with the tools may take a while. However, Kryptor uses simple drag-and-drop mechanics in encrypting your file. With this, you only need to drop your file into the GUI and enter your designated password before clicking the Encrypt button. Decryption, meanwhile, requires you to load the file via drag-and-drop, enter the password, and click the Decrypt button.

More than file encryption and decryption, Kryptor also offers other nifty features. For one, it has a built-in password generator. With this, you won't have a problem coming up with a secure password. It also supports password sharing and even provides various sharing options. The app also has a comprehensive settings section, allowing the configuration of the encryption algorithm, the memory encryption type, the memory size, and the iteration count. 

Keep your files private

In conclusion, Kryptor is an excellent application that you can use to protect your files from snoopers. The app offers strong encryption features that allow you to encrypt and decrypt your files and folders whenever you want. However, although it has a simple interface, it requires some learning before you can fully use it. You may also need some separate tools for managing your encrypted files.
