HTML Guardian

HTML Guardian is a lightweight Windows application that features encryption capabilities for helping you encode your HTML pages, so other users cannot steal and reuse your source code in other websites.

This tool comes in handy for webmasters who need to encrypt their HTML code and JavaScripts, password-protect their websites or individual files, optimize and compress the source code, as well as protect entire folders, websites, or user-defined file lists in a batch mode with security settings for each item.

The program offers support for many dedicated parameters, so you need to take some time and experiment with each built-in function for making the most out of this utility.

HTML Guardian gives you the possibility to select the files and folders that you want to encrypt and apply a wide range of filters, such as filename pattern, size, date, and/or user-defined words. Plus, you are allowed to create multiple filter sets and apply the desired one in your future projects.

It works with the following file formats: HTML, JS, VBS, CSS, ASP, INC, SH, and PHP. What’s more, it offers support for an image protection mode, and you are allowed to protect pictures bigger than a custom size and disable the browser image cache.

What’s more, you can test the encrypted data, define a list with files that you need to periodically encrypt for triggering the automation of common encryption tasks, encode entire websites, and protect your files with the aid of a strong algorithm corresponding to a 384 bit key.

Last but not least, you can use hotkeys for a better control over the entire process, write command-line parameters, back up all your current settings and restore them, install additional plugins for enhancing the program’s functionality, as well as convert web files (e.g. HTML, JS, VBS, TXT, PHP) using the UTF-8 encoding method.

HTML Guardian comes packed with several powerful tools built to give you a hand when it comes to disable right-click mouse operations, printing, clipboard and Print Screen options, optimize the encrypted source code, encrypt only some parts of the code, clean up your files by removing useless items (spaces, tabs, new lines, comments) from the encryption process, as well as save different sets of protection options to multiple profiles.

HTML Guardian proves to be a reliable utility that provides a powerful feature pack. The rich set of configuration settings makes it an ideal appplication especially for advanced users.
