What is Crypt?

Crypt

Crypt is a handy tool that can help keep your important files safe from prying eyes, even if you already have an antivirus program running. Sometimes, those confidential documents need extra protection, and that’s where Crypt steps in with solid encryption!

Getting Started with Crypt

You can dive right into what Crypt has to offer right after you install it. Just a quick tip: make sure your computer is set up with .NET Framework for everything to work smoothly.

User-Friendly Interface

When you launch the app, you'll see a simple main window pop up, plus a tray icon appears too. This way, you don’t have to clutter your taskbar when using it. The layout is really easy to follow, which means you’ll quickly know where everything is. You can handle both encrypting and decrypting files right from this main window.

How to Encrypt Files

One thing to note: dragging items directly onto the main window doesn’t work. But no worries! The browse dialog makes it super simple to add files or folders that need securing. You can choose to encrypt just one file or even the whole folder at once! If you go for the folder option, you can also decide how deep into subfolders you want to go and whether to run the process recursively.

The Security Behind Crypt

Crypt uses a reliable CryptoAPI algorithm for encryption, making sure your files are locked tight. Just remember: you'll need a password because that's how you'll get back your content later on! The encrypted files will appear in the same folder as the originals but will have their own special extension. Don’t worry; your original file stays put! Just keep in mind that if you're decrypting something, it will overwrite existing files without any warnings.

The Bottom Line on Crypt

To sum it up, Crypt is a lightweight but powerful tool perfect for keeping unwanted snoopers away from your private information. While there’s just one algorithm available, it gets the job done quickly and easily—whether you're encrypting single files or entire folders full of data.
