AxCrypt is a free file encryption program that uses the AES algorithm with 128-bit keys. It combines strong symmetric encryption with compression and double-click editing. Encrypted files have a ".axx" extension added to their names, and are shown with a new icon.
Right-click integration with Windows Explorer makes AxCrypt the easiest way to encrypt individual files in Windows.
Double-click integration makes it as easy to open, edit and save encrypted files as it is to work with unencrypted files.
AxCrypt encrypts files that are safely and easily sent to other users via e-mail or any other means. Self-decrypting files are also supported, removing the need to install AxCrypt to decrypt.
