About Xecrets Ez

Xecrets Ez is a true zero-knowledge desktop file and text encryption application that uses

strong AES-256 encryption to password protect your files. Encrypted files use the

.axx extension and remain protected wherever they go — cloud storage, email, USB drives

or backups — because the encryption always follows the file. No data or passwords will ever leave your device.

Unlike container-based or folder-based encryption solutions, Xecrets Ez encrypts files

individually so protection is never lost when a file is moved or copied.

It works entirely offline: no internet connection, no servers, no

accounts required.

Features include (some require Premium):

AES-256 encryption

Encrypt and decrypt individual files or all files in folders

Encrypt text messages directly in the application

Open and edit encrypted files with automatic re-encryption

YubiKey hardware security key support

SLIP-39 Shamir's Secret Sharing for password backup

Available in English, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Español, Português and Svenska

No internet connection is ever used

100% compatible with AxCrypt

Cross-platform: Linux, Windows and macOS

It is entirely free for encryption and decryption of files, with full security. Premium features require a low-cost subscription with a 10-day free trial. A 3-day
