Hello Lo,

The error message indicates that the file simply is not an AxCrypt file – it checks the first 16 bytes for a unique value.

Most often, this error occurs because the file is not produced by AxCrypt, but rather a different kind of file accidentally renamed to end with .axx. Another scenario is that it is a left-over after a previous decryption was interrupted at the stage where the original is overwritten.

If you mistakenly rename non-AxCrypt files to end with .axx, in which case renaming back to its appropriate extension will fix the issue since the file was never encrypted in the first place in this scenario.

Still, you are not able to decrypt the file, AxCrypt provides a feature called Try Broken File. You can decrypt the corrupted AxCrypt encrypted files by navigating the menu File | Options | enable Debug from the AxCrypt app.

Now you could see the Debug the menu in the AxCrypt app. From the debug menu choose Try Broken File.

Then you will be prompted for file selection. Select the corrupted encrypted file and then AxCrypt will try to decrypt the file. If successfully decrypted, then you can see the decrypted file in the file location.

Unfortunately, If the file is actually damaged to this extent, sorry to say, no, it can’t be fixed. The data is just not there to decrypt it.

Still, you are facing any issue, please provide detailed information about the issue and write a mail to support@axcrypt.net. We are happy to help you.

Hello SunnyNonsense,

Apologies for the delayed response.

Unfortunately, if AxCrypt discontinued its service, what will happen?

1) The AxCrypt app works offline to open/decrypt all of your encrypted files – still you can use the AxCrypt app with limited features in offline. So your files will be safe. Don’t worry about your data.

2) If you don’t have the AxCrypt software, you can download the build from wellknown reseller websites.

3) Yes, You can always backup your keys from the AxCrypt app windows version via File menu > Key Management > Export AxCrypt ID secret with sharing and access keys.

4) AxCrypt encrypted files can be decrypted only with the AxCrypt app. No other apps can decrypt the AxCrypt app encrypted files. Because each encryption softwares using their own encryption algorithm on top of the AES. And AxCrypt encrypted files has an unique file extension .axx and that’s our own file structure. So First need to decrypt all the files before going to use another encryption solution.

Still, if you are facing any issues, please write to Support@axcrypt.net. we are happy to help you.
