The history of AxCrypt started in 2001 when initial author Svante needed to share confidential data over the Internet and failed to find existing data security solutions for Internet services that were both simple and easy to use for everyone. It was then that he developed and released the first version of AxCrypt.
In 2014, after 13 years on the market, AxCrypt had grown to be one of the world’s most popular encryption softwares with over 20 million downloads worldwide. Svante teamed up with serial entrepreneur Zebastian Victorin to commercialize the product and founded AxCrypt AB to take AxCrypt to the next level.
