My picks by situation
- Best overall privacy: VeraCrypt
- Best for a Windows laptop: BitLocker
- Best for a Mac: FileVault
- Best for encrypted cloud storage: Cryptomator
- Best for sending encrypted files: 7-Zip (with a strong password)
- Best for advanced users/security professionals: VeraCrypt + good password practices
For most people:
- If you use Windows 11 Pro, turn on BitLocker and keep the recovery key somewhere safe.
- If you want maximum control and open-source encryption, use VeraCrypt.
- If you store sensitive files in the cloud, add Cryptomator.
A few important rules matter more than the software choice:
- Use a long unique passphrase (ideally 5–7 random words).
- Keep recovery keys backed up securely.
- Enable full-disk encryption on laptops and phones.
