BitCrypt

It is a universally known and accepted fact that encryption is the one of the easiest and accessible methods of keeping your files safe and your privacy untouched.

Fortunately, you can choose from a wide variety of encryption tools out there, some very advanced with tons of features, while others, more straightforward and more focused on user friendliness.

BitCrypt successfully falls right into the latter category, as it offers you a quick and hassle-free way to encrypt and decrypt files, regardless of your computer experience.

Probably the first thing you need to know about this app is the fact that it uses an AES256 encryption algorithm.

The application undergoes a typical installation process, after which you can get started with it right away since it does not require any type of configuration on your part.

Upon first launching the utility, you are met by a compact main window and an ultra-minimalistic interface. In just a few words, the app displays two panels, one for encrypting files and one, you have guessed it, for decrypting.

Underneath the two previously mentioned panels, there is a toggle button that once clicked, it allows the app to automatically delete the original files.

By now, it should be quite clear that the app's workflow is also quite streamlined. Just click either one of the panels from the app's main window and load the files and that is about it, as the program takes care of the rest. Even better, you can drag and drop files from their location onto the app's main window to achieve the same effect.

As expected, upon encrypting files, BitCrypt prompts you to enter a password and a password hint. Needless to say that this password will also be necessary for reversing the outcome.

BitCrypt is an efficient and lightweight Windows application that makes it as effortless as possible for you to encrypt and decrypt data. Surely, it is not the best or the most complex utility of its kind but its accessibility and simplicity are exactly why you would want to use this program.
