Encrypted File Sender makes one .zip locked with AES-256. The other person opens it with 7-Zip or WinRAR, so they need no extra app. ## The password goes another way Send the file by email or USB, and the password by text or a call. Someone who gets the email still does not have the password. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no link to follow. ## A password you can read out Click Suggest for four random words and a number, such as maple-orbit-42-lantern-cobalt. It is long and hard to guess, and easy to say on the phone. ## Lock for me The job Encrypted File Sender has always done still works. Lock files and folders into .cypher files with a password and a hint. Drop a .cypher file back in and its hint shows before you type the password. Files are locked with Argon2id and XChaCha20. ## Your old files still open .cypher files made by earlier versions open as before. So do .encrypt files from File and Folder Encryptor. ## Your originals are safe Every new file is saved beside the original. Nothing is overwritten or deleted. ## Private Everything happens on your PC. There is no account and nothing is uploaded. A copied password clears from the clipboard on its own and stays out of clipboard history. ## Features - Send to someone: package files and folders into one password-protected .zip - AES-256 encryption that opens with 7-Zip or WinRAR, so the other person needs no extra app - Send the file by email or USB, and the password by text or a call - Suggest makes a password of four random words and a number, easy to read out - Name the package, and see its size and contents on the tag before you make it - Lock for me: lock files and folders into .cypher files with Argon2id and XChaCha20 - Add a password hint that shows before unlocking - Old .cypher files still open, and so do .encrypt files from File and Folder Encryptor - Your originals stay as they are; new files are saved beside them - Copy the password, and the clipboard clears itself after 30 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes - A copied password stays out of clipboard history - Recent packages and locked files are listed, with a button to show each one in File Explorer - Everything happens on your PC: no account, no cloud, no links - Light and dark themes, or match Windows ## Details Works on Windows 10 (1809 or later) and Windows 11 Download About 2.7 MB Version 2.0.1, updated October 2026 First released October 2022 Price $1.99, lifetime license.
