PixelCryptor is a free application which can encrypt any files by using an image. You need the same image to decrypt the package.
I had cover a tutorial before, which teach you how to hide a text file in an image. Now, this powerful application can encrypt anyting by using an image file, and export the result as a single package file (.cgp). You need the same image in order to decrypt the package.
The application’s interface is very simple. To encrypt files, choose Encode Files -> add files -> choose an image as your encryption key -> choose the encrypted package name. To decrypt, follow the similar steps by choosing Decode Files.
This application is very suitable for users who want to encrypt files with fast and easy. Compare to other professional encryption software like Truecrypt, i think this PixelCrypt is more suitable for computer novice as it doesn’t have much settings.
