PixelCryptor is probably one of the best options for your first steps into encryption. It enables you to protect your private documents by combining them into a package that is then encrypted with any photo of your choice.

The pixel data contained in this photo is what the program uses to protect your documents, by creating almost endless, hacker-proof combinations. And whenever you want to decrypt your documents, simply open the package with your documents and select the picture you used to encrypt it.

PixelCryptor may not offer as many security options and encryption methods as other tools, but it's very easy to use and probably the best choice for encryption newbies. On the downside, anyone who you're sending encrypted data too will need to have it installed.

PixelCryptor is a fairly basic encryption tool, mainly addressed at novice users, which uses images to encrypt confidential data.

GiliSoft Private Disk is really very easy to use but it lacks options, which will be a problem for some. Usefully, you can still access your hidden files, even on computers that GiliSoft Private Disk isn't installed on - the app installs an .EXE on your USB or disk and then administers the password protection via this agent.

Unfortunately, GiliSoft Private Disk lacks any configuration settings to make using it very comfortable or slick. You can create and remove private areas, as well as mounting and unmounting, but you can't rename your private disk and there's no offline help.

GiliSoft Private Disk is the most basic of apps that create secure volumes on disk or pendrives.
