VeraCrypt is open source cross-platform disk encryption software. You can use it to either encrypt a specific file or directory, or an entire disk or partition. VeraCrypt is incredibly feature-rich, with comprehensive encryption options, yet the GUI makes it easy to use. It has a CLI version, and a portable edition. VeraCrypt is the successor of (the now deprecated) TrueCrypt.

  • Mounir IDRASSI (24 Sept 24)

    Linux: Improve directory opening logic by prioritizing xdg-open and adding fallback mechanisms (#1420) - Use xdg-open as the primary method for opening directories, ensuring compatibility with most Linux environments. - Implemented fallback logic to try other known file managers (e.g., nautilus, dolphin, caja, thunar) if xdg-open is unavailable or fails. Based on proposal by @bugtracker2019

    macOS: restrict --allow-screencapture switch to macOS only since screen protection doesn't work on Linux In the code we also enable it for TC_WINDOWS but actually we don't use wxWidgets for Windows build.

  • Deniz Türkoglu (16 Sept 24)

    Add Option to Enable/Disable Screen Capture (#1418) Veracrypt currently appears in screenshots and screen captures, which can unintentionally expose sensitive information, such as the fact that Veracrypt is running or the location of your volumes. Both Windows and macOS offer mechanisms to exclude specific windows from being captured. While not foolproof, this is a useful preventative measure. The method is a no-op for Linux/FreeBSD. For more details on the wxWidgets API, see: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.2/classwx_top_level_window.html#a337b9cec62b0cbd3b1b1545a83270f64

VeraCrypt Reviews

More File Encryption

  • Open source client-side encryption for cloud files - Cryptomator is geared towards using alongside cloud-backup solutions, and hence preserves individual file structure, so that they can be uploaded. It too is easy to use, but has fewer technical customizations for how the data is encrypted, compared with VeraCrypt. Cryptomator works on Windows, Linux and Mac - but also has excellent mobile apps.

  • age is a simple, modern and secure CLI file encryption tool and Go library. It features small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability
