Hello Oliver,
We don’t support source code builds, but for your information – the version number is an internal build number generated by our build server. It would be too troublesome to maintain build and version numbers manually. It’s even likely when you build from the most current sources that you’re building newer code than is actually published as a versioned release.
Hello Nico,
If that’s the case, AxCrypt is not the droid you’re looking for. AxCrypt is a file encryption software, which means it encrypts single files, file by file. This has advantages and disadvantages depending on your scenario. If you are primarily interested in keeping your PC secure for the scenario where you lose it or it get’s stolen, I recommend Bitlocker to encrypt the entire hard disk or volume.
The other alternative is to use a volume encryption software such as VeraCrypt.
AxCrypt is more suitable to protect data that actually leaves your PC, for example via email or a cloud storage provider such as Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive etc.
Hello All,
The AxCrypt for Mac beta is finally here. See the announcement here: https://forum.axcrypt.net/forums/topic/axcrypt-for-mac-beta-is-here/ .
Hello everyone,
We will be providing offline license files in the not so far distant future. We’re just now developing the basic functions for it, i.e. digital signing of the license terms. They will be out shortly. From there it’s a pretty short step to allow transfer via an offline file.
Hello Stephan,
As Nelson mentioned, this is now much easier. You each use your own personal private passwords, and then you use the key sharing function to share access to the file with your colleague.
Hello raghava and Horacio,
No, sorry, we don’t support distribution of the raw APK at this time. This is the first time we ever had a request for it also, so it’s not very frequently requested. We may reconsider this in the future.
It’s also not possible to recompile the build because parts of the code is not open source. It uses the same core code as all the other versions, which is open source, but the UI-related Android/iOS-specific parts is proprietary.
Hello Cam,
Not quite yet ready… Keep a lookout for it in announcements section of the forums. It should be made available as a beta in a few days.
Hello Olivier,
As I said, if you like, you contact our support and send the file there, and we can have a look at it. Could you tell me more about the circumstances? I notice the file was last updated about 2 weeks ago. It also seems you’ve been using AxCrypt 2 since before then. Please let us know as much as possible about what you can recall, such as what version of AxCrypt you were using, and when you last successfully opened it.
Hello Gupter,
It’s only the first 16 bytes that are there to indicate that it’s an AxCrypt file. That the next 5 bytes are the same is more of a coincidence – you cannot rely on that staying the same in future versions, but you can rely on the first 16 bytes.
Hello Olivier,
All AxCrypt files start with a the same unique sequence of 16 bytes. The message indicates that the file in question does not, thus it’s not an AxCrypt file – or a very broken one.
Maybe it’s zero length, or otherwise corrupted?
If you like, you contact our support and send the file there, and we can have a look at it.

Hello david,
It’s not entirely clear exactly what the issue is. Please provide more information, and if you can send a screenshot showing where the problem is, it often helps us understand.

Hello Sonia,
The same problem is likely to have the same solution. Start by ensuring that you have the most recent version of AxCrypt installed. Get it from https://forum.axcrypt.net/ .
Read the FAQ concerning the most common reason for the problem, and fix that if applicable.
If it sill does not work, please follow the instructions here: https://forum.axcrypt.net/blog/send-complete-error-report/ .
Hello Duke Nukem,
Ok, yes I see. Nevertheless our main strategy has always been to minimize the number of options, and the number of options you show there are horrifying to me ;-)
Also, I really wonder about your initial motivation for not having it there – that it takes time. I can understand if you think it clutters up the menu and you don’t use it anyway, but that it would take time? In the case of the “enable / disable”, it depends on how they’ve implemented it, but my guess is that it’s actually loaded and still installed – but when queried by the shell it doesn’t display anything. When it’s during installation, it’s probably really not installed if you deselect it.
Hello Duke Nukem,
Thanks for the suggestion! However, to be honest, this is the first time anyone has asked for this. After almost 17 years, and perhaps 20 milllion downloads. I can only conclude that it’s not a common gripe ;-) I’ve never seen “remove me” from the context menu, although I have seen some softwares offer the “shell extension” as a feature that can be deselected during installation. What we’re trying very, very hard with AxCrypt is to have as few options as possible. This makes it more streamlined for the vast majority of users, and also makes our support easier to manage. If we include this option, every time we get a support case with “AxCrypt is not in the context menu”, we’ll have to investigate if the user has manually disabled it.
I would like to suggest a ‘workaround’ for your situation though, it’s still a manual operation though. Just rename the versioned download to the generic name ‘AxCrypt.exe’, then you won’t have to reassociate. Of course, you’ll have to delete the old one, and do the rename instead. You could also write a small script that does the association for you.
Hello,
Thanks for notifying us – we noticed as well. We’re working on it. Unfortunately, it appears they are bypassing the worlds most commonly used captcha, Google reCaptcha (or there’s a bug in the wordpress software we’re using, which is perhaps more likely considering the fact that it’s wordpress).
