Concealer

Hakros Interactive

Concealer is a good small application that will help you hide your secret files inside binary files. You only have to add the file you want to hide and afterwards select the file inside of which you want to hide it, which will be the decoy. The decoy can be any type of file, but it's better if it is a binary file (images, applications, or pdf), since those text files already have a bunch of strange content. After, you just have to assign a password (although in the demo version, one will be created automatically) that will help you recover your hidden file in the future. Finally, you will be given a file that looks just like the one that you've chosen as the decoy, but which actually contains your secret inside of it. If you want to hide your secrets, Concealer is an application that's very effective since it allows you to convert any ordinary file on your computer into the holder of your secret.

Lavasoft Privacy Toolbox

Lavasoft

When you erase files from your PC, sometimes they don't get completely deleted and you're able to recover them. This is fine if you erase a file by mistake and want to get it back, but when somebody else is trying to recover something you've deleted it's not so great. Likewise, you may carry files you don't want anyone to see on your USB memory device. To guard against this risk, Lavasoft Privacy Toolbox is a tool that helps protect your privacy by encrypting documents and shredding confidential files. This program will keep your information away from prying eyes and guarantee the security of your digital information. Lavasoft Privacy Toolbox can encrypt your files with a password so that only you can access them. How? Very easy: you just drag the file you want to protect to the program interface, click 'Encrypt,' and set a password. When you open them again, you'll just have to decrypt them with the same process. Thanks to this, you can send encrypted files safely and rest assured that only the authorized recipient can access them. The encryption technology used by Lavasoft Privacy Toolbox is military-grade and supports several encryption algorithms: 256-bit AES, 448-bit Blowfish, 256-bit Twofish, 480-bit SafeIT Algorithm, and MDS-Hash Algorithm. Another of this program's great features lets you combine two functions: encrypting documents and shredding them afterwards, even destroying the original files as well.

This tool blocks, hides, and encrypts all kinds of files, from images and videos to documents and entire folders thanks to four different algorithms. Privacy Drive can create multiple volumes on your hard drive and encrypt them as virtual units that store all your private information to protect it from prying eyes. None of the encrypted data can be seen without the set password, not even the name, file extension, or metadata. The interface is very simple: it shows you the free and used space on your hard drive as well as the volumes so you can search for the data you want to password-protect. You'll simply have to select them and choose the size and a good password, as well as other more advanced adjustments such as the type of encryption and the disk you want to store them on. With this program you can transfer all your encrypted files on .PDV format using email, cloud storage services (such as Google Drive and Dropbox), as well as USB disks, a CD, or any external hard drive, keeping them encrypted at all times so that the loss of any device does not put your privacy at risk.

That done, just click 'encrypt' to protect your data. WinCrypto uses the RC4 encryption algorithm and is able to hide all types of files, regardless of size or format. To decrypt the files, it's the same process. First search the directory where you saved your protected files. Then hit 'decrypt,' enter the password, and from there you'll see the original version.
