Crypt It

When dealing with confidential or private data, it is best to encrypt your files to make sure the information cannot be accessed by unauthorized people.

Crypt It is one of the many utilities that you can rely on, especially if you are looking for portable and straightforward apps.

As previously mentioned, this solution is a portable one, meaning that you do not need to install it on your PC, and you can carry it on a removable flash drive, then launch it whenever needed.

Its interface is as intuitive as it can be since you only need to add your files, enter the password and start the encryption using the AES algorithm, so even novices can protect their files without any hassle. The original data can be erased as soon as the encryption is completed.

Other than that, you need to know that Crypt It features support for drag and drop, therefore, selecting the documents you want to encrypt can be done either via this method or by manually browsing to their location. Plus, changing the output folder is also possible using a button placed in the main window.

Regarding the password you need to indicate in order to restrict access to your documents, its length depends on you, with the security layer being enhanced if you opt for a long passphrase. While this offers enough flexibility, perhaps it would come in handy if a master password could be defined and applied for all future encryptions.

A useful function is that it can encrypt text as well. After you type or paste a message, you need to enter a password and get a scrambled version of your text. It goes without saying that decrypting both files and texts requires the correct passkey.

Crypt It is a reliable solution for those who want to quickly encrypt files and are not interested in selecting a custom algorithm.
