AxCrypt Overview
AxCrypt is a file-encryption tool for Windows and macOS designed to make strong encryption easy for everyday use. It integrates with the file manager so you can encrypt or decrypt individual files with a right-click, using strong AES encryption, and it can keep files encrypted at rest while letting you open them seamlessly with your password. It also offers secure password management and, in paid tiers, key sharing so you can securely give specific people access to encrypted files. A freemium model provides basic encryption for free, with paid plans adding stronger options and sharing features. The offline installer bundles everything AxCrypt needs, so installation completes without a connection. Encrypted files keep a recognizable extension and can be opened on another machine that has AxCrypt, which makes sharing protected files practical.
