The ribbon buttons offer you quick access to the most important functions; from the upper menus you can access and configure the tool's functioning parameters.

The application offers both encryption and decryption capabilities, allowing you to safeguard individual files, as well as folders, with a password of your own devise. At the same time, MediaCryptor can also perform an ‘Integrity Test’ to ensure entries in a selected directory have not been tampered with, or it can ‘Verify Recovery Records’ and ‘Repair Damaged Files’.

In order to password-protect a file, you need only right-click it and input the access key twice, so the utility can make sure it was typed correctly. It also enables you to customize the task by activating or deactivating certain ‘Encryption Options’.

MediaCryptor will even encode filenames, thus turning protected items into random bits of data to the untrained eye. The decryption of files and folders can be performed from the context menu, allowing you to input the proper string in order to render its contents visible once again.

In closing, MediaCryptor is a useful and efficient application that can easily satisfy your file encryption needs, enabling you to safeguard sensitive data from prying eyes, all the while causing little to no trouble for you in working with it.
