## What is Paranoia File Encryption Lite?

• Paranoia File Encryption is a universal file encryption application for iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod), brought to you by Paranoia Works. It securely encrypts your private and confidential files or entire folders. P.F.E. works like an archiver, creating a new .enc file after encryption. The original file(s) can be deleted or wiped after the encryption process is completed. This can be done manually or set to be done automatically.
• The app guarantees real security by encrypting data using robust encryption algorithms: Blowfish 448 bits, AES 256 bits, RC6 256 bits, Serpent 256 bits, and Twofish 256 bits ciphers.
• Steganography: The application offers steganographic features, allowing you to conceal files within a JPEG image. Two algorithms are available: J-UNIWARD and F5. The selected algorithm works with your chosen symmetric cipher to create the final steganogram.

• Versions for other systems and platforms are available on the application's homepage (download section - https://paranoiaworks.mobi/download/).
• The AES web version is available at: https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi/paranoia-file-encryption/

• Free / PRO version differences: The PRO version contains more algorithms - specifically, Threefish 1024bit, SHACAL-2 512bit, and Paranoia C4 2048bit (which is a cascade of Threefish–Serpent–AES–SHACAL2). The free version can decrypt data encrypted by these advanced algorithms, but encryption is exclusive to the PRO version. In addition, the PRO version allows the selection of multiple files and their batch processing. It also provides a key to activate the PRO version of the desktop application: Paranoia File & Text Encryption for PC, Paranoia Text Encryption for PC and S.S.E. File Encryptor for PC

### 1/5 — 有木马

*2026-05-20*

手机里就这么一个不太大众不常用的软件，学校网安告诉我有木马。

**Developer response:** ???

### 5/5 — Von 5 auf 2Sterne

*2026-05-17*

Update: leider startet die App nicht mehr. Mehr wie der Start Bildschirm ist nicht zu sehen und stürzt dann ab.
——————————-
Was will man mehr 
Einfach und schnell
Ich hoffe, dass die App für den Mac, die auf auf Intel basiert auch für Mac Chips weiter  entwickelt wird🙏
Und nicht zu vergessen der Super Support. Anfragen werden schnell beantwortet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Developer response:** Bitte schreiben Sie uns die Version der App, die iOS-Version und die Hardware, auf der Sie die App ausführen.
Vielen Dank.

### 5/5 — It‘s by intention!

*2025-12-28*

What some do not get: This app does not offer a login password for access. The entered password is the one used only in this very session for strong encrypting and decrypting. You could use different passwords for each file, in that case you must change the password for every file - fully intentional. If you use this app, you need to understand this! It‘s a great encryption app! Five stars!

### 5/5 — great app

*2025-12-03*

but seen to be a little funny bug, on iOS18.6, first of all I have set the password already as required, which is for app entrance every time. after some times get hands on the app I find out you can bypass the password requiring by just swipe up to the multi-tasks windowand and tap Paranoia again, then you go into Paranoia features page, justa without password😆

### 1/5 — Apple’s peverse file system defeats app

*2024-02-25*

I cannot find a way to navigate Apple’s crazy file system to effectively use this app.

### 5/5 — Great App for file encryption

*2024-01-15*

What makes this app stand out is the included highly detailed help file as well as several choices for encryption algorithms.

I use my existing iPhone Files Folder (On My Phone) to do both encryption and decryption.

To share the encrypted file, I place it into Google Drive and authorize access only to my recipient(s).
