PixelCryptor is an innovative protection program for Windows that secures files with image-based encryption instead of traditional password protection.
Visual cryptography
Instead of requiring a passcode, the app requests a photo as the encryption key. Only the exact same picture can decrypt the data, making brute-force attacks significantly more difficult. This approach enhances security while providing an easy-to-remember security method. Users can select any image, ensuring complete control over access security.
It is possible to process individual files or entire folders in a single operation. Encrypted information remains inaccessible without the correct image key, keeping documents and media untouchable. There is a straightforward interface with step-by-step instructions that help beginners correctly protect their important data.
Portable
This is a lightweight app that does not require installation, allowing you to run it directly from external drives . Additionally, you may configure the settings and create new directories to maintain the protection. However, it is necessary to note that the executable file is infected with viruses as it is no longer supported by the developers.
Features
- relies on images instead of passwords for encryption;
- users can secure multiple files and folders at once;
- the tool operates efficiently without slowing down the computer;
- free to download and use;
