## What is Paranoia File Encryption PRO?

• 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 ensures real security as data is encrypted using the strongest encryption algorithms: Blowfish 448bit, AES 256bit, RC6 256bit, Serpent 256bit, Twofish 256bit, Threefish 1024bit, SHACAL-2 512bit, and Paranoia C4 2048bit ciphers are available.
• 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

### 5/5 — Top Job

*2026-05-20*

Nach dem Update fünf Sterne.

Sind viele .enc Dateien in einem Verzeichnis dauert es sehr lange bis diese Dateien aufgelistet werden.
Manchmal stürzt die App auch beim auswählen eines großen Verzeichnisses ab.
Verschlüsselung und Entschlüsseln von ganzen Verzeichnissen top gelöst. Arbeitet mit perfekt mit macOS und iOS zusammen Funktioniert nicht mit dem HiDrive von IONOS.

### 5/5 — Very happy 😃

*2026-04-12*

Everything is fully functional as described. The old school look gives Paranoia a kind of charm.

### 5/5 — Top App

*2025-05-28, version 3.3*

Very nice app. Hope it will be supported in the future

### 5/5 — Versatile Encryption Tool

*2025-05-08*

Paranoia File Encryption is a reliable option for protecting your data, offering robust encryption and an easy-to-use interface. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of file encryption, supporting multiple encryption schemes for added flexibility. Best of all, its cross-platform compatibility ensures seamless use across Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2025-02-13*

This is good for encryption because I can see it is encrypted. By the way, I lost everything. All my files are gone because I pressed “Open” without selecting a file and deleted them in app thinking it would get rid of them in app only. Turns out it’s connected to the files app. I am more than furious, none of it is in recently deleted. I am so * mad because I don’t have it backed up either. The lite version is better.

### 4/5 — Ein Witz?

*2024-08-30*

Diese App ist schlicht und ergreifend, in meinen Augen, ein Witz.
Bei jedem Start muss ein Sitzungspasswort, in doppelter Ausführung, vergeben werden.
Warum man hier kein Login- Passwort einführt, ist mir schleierhaft.
Die Verschlüsselungsmethoden, bzw. die Algorithmen, sind top.
Vielleicht wird man ja auch bei der Loginmethode nachbessern, was ich hoffe.
Dennoch dem Entwickler viel Erfolg mit der App.

### 5/5 — Top Class 🥇

*2024-08-28, version 3.2*

Been using this app for quite a while now and it is brilliant. A big thank you to the developer, keep up the good work 🙏🏾

### 5/5 — 请添加简体中文语言

*2023-07-21*

作者专注于加密技术，这点很棒，因为只有专注才能更优秀。你制作的多款软件Pro已购买，希望后续能持续更新。
这款软件目前没有中文语言，希望加入中文语言以提升用户体验，在此感谢！

### 5/5 — Security At Its Best

*2023-07-01*

If you’re looking to securely encrypt your files and folders, then you need this app!  It’s easy to use, comprehensive, supports many encryption algorithms, and flexible (works with iCloud too).  Glad to see an iOS version which completes Paranoia’s product offerings on Mac, PC, Linux, and Android.  In addition, open source code for the desktop version is available for download for those that would like to check it out.

As a long time user of all Paranoia’s encryption products on various hardware platforms, it’s been extremely easy to move encrypted files and folders from one platform to another.  I use their encryption tools every day and I highly recommend them to everyone!
