Encrypt files with WinRAR - how it works
If you want to protect your files from unauthorized access, you can encrypt files, folders and entire archives using WinRAR. We'll show you how it's done.
WinRAR: encrypt files with a password
- Start WinRAR on your PC and navigate in the program window to the desired file path.
- Mark all folders and files to be encrypted here and click on them with the right mouse button.
- Then select the "Add files to archive" option. A new window is opening up.
- Click on the "Set password" button at the bottom right and enter a secure password.
- Finally, close both windows with "OK". WinRAR then creates your archive and encrypts it with your password.
